Indian Wedding Ceremonies

Every Ceremony. Every Tradition. Flawlessly Performed.

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 The Wedding Story.
01
Mehndi Ceremony
The Mehndi is the warm-up to the entire wedding weekend — bride, family, friends, henna, and hours of conversation and music. DJ Sohbash's Mehndi playlist is its own arc, moving carefully from soft melodic Bollywood early on to energetic group dance numbers as the day builds. Sufi ballads, romantic classics, and unexpected crowd-pleasers complete the journey.
Bollywood · Sufi · Romantic Classics · Garba
02
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.
Punjabi Folk · Bollywood · Bhangra · Regional Classics
03
Garba & Dandiya Night
Garba/Dandiya Night is the heart of the wedding weekend for Gujarati and many multicultural Indian families — and arguably DJ Sohbash's deepest specialty. He moves fluidly between traditional raas, modern fusion Garba, and the devotional-celebratory blends that keep a packed floor spinning for three, four, even five hours. The 3,000+ Indian weddings in his history have made every Garba classic and every crowd-reading technique completely instinctive.
Traditional Garba · Dandiya Raas · Fusion Garba · Navratri Classics
04
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 The Wedding Story, 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.

06
Wedding Reception
DJ Sohbash has closed 3,000+ Indian wedding Receptions — and every single one ends the same way: standing ovation, full dance floor, no one wanting to call it a night. The Reception arc he builds is intentional: cocktail hour ambiance to start, then first dance coordination, parent dances, and the main set — a journey from family classics through floor-filling Bollywood to the Bhangra finale that empties every seat.
