Pre-wedding Ceremony: Sangeet

Sangeet ceremony is a  lively and colorful event complimenting the main wedding festivities. It is all about music, dance, and celebration. It's typically held the evening before the wedding and is a time for the families to come together and enjoy the festivities. What started as a small impromptu gathering of female friends and family singing and dancing in the evening has turned into a big production with a stage or dance floor, dj and performances.

Key elements include:

  • Dance Performances: Both the bride and groom's families put on choreographed performances, often engaging in friendly competition to outshine each other. This is usually followed by all the guests joining on the dance floor for a fun evening.
  • Live Music: Live music or a DJ keeps the energy high, and guests are encouraged to dance the night away.
  • Colorful Decor: The décor mirrors this lively atmosphere, radiating with bright colors that perfectly complement the celebratory mood.
