A South Asian wedding is not one event — it's a multi-day, multi-ceremony celebration of culture, family, and tradition. DJ Sohbash has performed every Indian wedding ceremony over 3,000+ weddings across 25+ years, bringing deep musical knowledge and live crowd intuition to each event in your wedding weekend in Sheraton Lisle.
01
Mehndi Ceremony
Every Indian wedding weekend opens with Mehndi — the bride, her closest family, her dearest friends, and hours of intricate henna application. DJ Sohbash reads that room and curates a playlist that moves with it: gentle melodic Bollywood at the start, energetic group numbers when the dancing kicks in, Sufi ballads and romantic classics threaded throughout, plus the surprise crowd-pleasers that make the day memorable.

Haldi Ceremony
Haldi celebrates the bride and groom with turmeric, laughter, and the entire extended family in one room. DJ Sohbash brings exactly the kind of playful, high-energy music the moment demands — folk songs, regional classics, and tracks that get grandmothers and cousins moving together. His Haldi reads-and-amplifies approach is something families talk about for years.

Garba & Dandiya Night
For Gujarati and many multicultural Indian wedding families, Garba/Dandiya Night is the highlight of the entire weekend. DJ Sohbash works across the full spectrum — traditional raas, modern fusion Garba, and the seamless devotional-to-celebratory blends that keep the floor turning for hours. Across 3,000+ Indian weddings, he's catalogued every classic and refined every crowd-reading technique the night demands.

Sangeet Night
Indian wedding weekends peak on Sangeet night, and DJ Sohbash's Sangeet sets are typically what clients keep talking about long after. Family performances and skits run their course; then DJ Sohbash steps up with a curated set for this specific room — Bollywood hits across every era, Bhangra targeted at the Punjabi uncles, fusion EDM drops that pull the younger generation onto the floor, and the multigenerational crowd-reading that holds the energy through midnight.

Baraat Procession
The Baraat is the groom's grand entrance — and DJ Sohbash has orchestrated over 3,000+ of them. Whether it's a horse-led Baraat through the streets of Sheraton Lisle, a dhol-driven procession through a luxury hotel lobby, or an arrival choreographed to a specific Bollywood anthem, DJ Sohbash coordinates every beat, every transition, and every crowd moment to make the groom's arrival the most unforgettable five minutes of the weekend. The Baraat is DJ Sohbash's signature — and every single one is different.

Wedding Reception
Every Indian wedding weekend culminates in the Reception, and DJ Sohbash closes every one of his with a performance guests later describe as transcendent. From cocktail-hour ambiance through first dance coordination and parent dances into the main set — it's a carefully constructed journey from family classics through floor-filling Bollywood to a Bhangra finale that empties every seat in the room. 3,000+ Indian wedding Receptions, and the ending is consistent: standing ovation, dance floor no one wants to leave.
