Your wedding day
Where dhol makes the biggest difference
Most couples book more than one appearance. Here's how a typical Punjabi wedding day can flow, and every slot is planned around your timings.

Morning
Baraat & milni
Dhol leads the groom's party from the house or meeting point to the venue, finishing on cue for the milni.
- 2
Afternoon
Doli / farewell
A gentle, emotional send-off as the bride leaves, paced to the family's wishes.
- 3
Evening
Couple entrance
Doors open, dhol kicks in, the room rises. Handed straight over to your DJ.
- 4
Late
Bhangra set
A second appearance to lift the dance floor when everyone needs a boost.

FAQs
Questions couples ask
How many dhol players should I book?+
It depends on the venue, the route, how many guests there are and the impact you want. One player suits smaller rooms and intimate entrances; two or more give a fuller sound for baraats, large receptions and outdoor routes. Share your details and we'll recommend a line-up.
What information do you need for a quote?+
The event date and type, venue or postcode, approximate time, preferred number of players, the service you need and any route, access or music-coordination details.
Do you travel outside London?+
Yes. We cover enquiries across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Availability depends on the date, venue, timings, line-up and travel involved.
Can you play at a house?+
Often, yes. We consider access, available space, neighbours and the intended route when planning a house performance or baraat departure.
Can you coordinate with our DJ?+
Yes. Share the track, the cue and the finishing point so the handover can be agreed before the day.
Can I book an entrance and a performance set?+
Yes. An entrance accompanies a person or group along a route; a set is a separate live performance at another point in the evening. Include both approximate timings in your enquiry.
