Vendor guide

Indian wedding DJs and entertainment

Choose a DJ who plays Bollywood, bhangra and your regional music as comfortably as English hits, and who has run a sangeet, baraat and reception before. Ask what sound, lighting and microphones they bring, whether they cover the baraat, who acts as MC, and how they work with your performance order and venue rules.

What does a DJ do at a desi wedding?

More than play music. At the sangeet the DJ runs the performance order, cues each dance track and handles microphones for speeches. At the baraat they may provide a mobile sound system or work alongside a dhol player. During the ceremony they may provide sound for the priest or officiant, and at the reception they run entrances, the first dance and the dance floor. Many also supply lighting, an MC, and live acts such as dhol, dancers or live singers.

What should we ask a wedding DJ?

Which music do you play for South Asian weddings, and can you mix our regional music with English and Bollywood songs?
Have you worked a sangeet with family performances, and how do you manage the running order?
Do you cover the baraat, and what equipment do you bring for it?
What sound, lighting, dance floor and microphones are included?
Will you or someone on your team act as MC?
Do you know our venue’s rules on sound levels, setup and finish times?

How do we plan the music?

Give your DJ a list of must-play and do-not-play songs, the performance tracks for the sangeet, and the songs for entrances and the first dance. Share your schedule so they know when to stay silent, for example during the pheras or the nikah. Our vendor checklist covers what to confirm in the contract.

Frequently asked questions

When should we book a DJ for an Indian wedding?

Around nine to twelve months ahead for peak weekends, especially if you want the same DJ for the sangeet, baraat and reception.

Do we need a dhol player as well as a DJ?

Many baraats have both: the dhol leads the procession and the DJ provides sound and music. Ask your DJ whether they can arrange a dhol player.

Can the DJ provide lighting and a dance floor?

Many do, as part of a package or for an extra charge. Ask what is included and check your venue allows it.
