Asian Wedding DJ Tips: Music for Your Mehndi, Sangeet and Reception

By A.P — professional mobile DJ and founder of One World Soundz, Manchester

Asian and Punjabi weddings often run over several events, and each one needs a different feel. Planning the music for each stage helps your DJ build the right atmosphere every time.

Mehndi & Sangeet

These are the most relaxed and fun celebrations — think classic Bollywood favourites, folk songs and high-energy Bhangra. It's a great time to add live Dhol players for an unforgettable entrance.

The Reception

The reception usually brings the biggest crowd and the widest mix of ages. We blend Bhangra and Bollywood with Hip Hop, R&B, Afrobeat and Pop so everyone, from grandparents to cousins, gets on the dancefloor.

  • Plan your grand entrance song with the DJ in advance
  • Share family favourites and any songs to avoid
  • Consider Dhol players or a saxophonist as an add-on
