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 1,500+ weddings across 25+ years, bringing deep musical knowledge and live crowd intuition to each event in your wedding weekend in Trump International Chicago.
01
Mehndi Ceremony
The Mehndi is where the celebrations begin — the bride surrounded by her closest family and friends as intricate henna designs are applied. DJ Sohbash curates a flowing, joyful playlist that moves from soft melodic Bollywood to energetic group dance numbers, perfectly calibrated to the mood of each moment. Sufi ballads, romantic classics, and surprise crowd-pleasers — the Mehndi playlist is a journey in itself.

Haldi Ceremony
The Haldi is pure celebration — turmeric, laughter, and the entire family. DJ Sohbash brings playful, high-energy tracks that perfectly match this vibrant pre-wedding ritual. Think folk music, regional classics, and the songs that make grandmothers and cousins dance together. DJ Sohbash's Haldi sets are legend in South Asian wedding circles for reading the exact energy of the moment and amplifying it.

Sangeet Night
The Sangeet is the biggest dance night of the Indian wedding weekend — and DJ Sohbash's Sangeet performances are what clients talk about for years. After family performances and skit segments, DJ Sohbash takes the floor with a set built specifically for this family, this crowd, this moment. Bollywood hits from every era, Bhangra for the Punjabi uncles, fusion EDM drops that bring the younger generation onto the floor — and seamless crowd-reading that keeps every generation dancing until midnight.

Wedding Reception
The Reception is the culmination of the entire wedding weekend — and DJ Sohbash closes every wedding with a performance that guests describe as transcendent.
