What is a baraat?

The baraat is the groom's wedding procession to the venue, led by his family and friends dancing to the dhol. In Punjabi, Indian and Pakistani weddings it is one of the most photographed moments of the day.

How big it gets is up to you. Two dhol players and a walk to the door, a full Indian band baja, the groom on a decorated horse or in a carriage, a mobile DJ truck, or a tuk tuk for a fun arrival. We also check the venue's rules on music, routes and timings.

Where it works best

  • Step 1

    A meeting point near the venue for the groom's family

  • Step 2

    Dhol players or a band baja to lead the walk

  • Step 3

    The groom on a horse, in a carriage or on the DJ truck

  • Step 4

    Ten to twenty minutes of dancing to the venue doors

  • Step 5

    A handover to the milni or welcome

Tips from our team

  1. 1

    Check the venue's rules first

    Some venues and temples limit music, horses or vehicles near the entrance. Tell us the venue and we check.

  2. 2

    Keep the walk short

    Ten to twenty minutes of dancing is plenty. Longer walks lose energy and eat into the timings for the ceremony.

  3. 3

    Plan the arrival with your photographer

    A clear spot for the horse or truck at the doors gives the best shots.

Frequently asked questions

Do venues around Pocklington have sound limits for dhol or music?

Many hotels and country houses set a sound limit or an end time, and some ask for unplugged dhol indoors. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we will check its rules before we confirm anything.

Which postcodes around Pocklington do you cover?

All of YO41, YO42 and YO43, including Barmby Moor, Bishop Wilton, Market Weighton, Holme upon Spalding Moor, North Newbald and Shiptonthorpe, plus the rest of North Yorkshire and nearby York, Sheriff Hutton, Brough and Malton.

How long should a baraat be?

Most baraats last 15 to 30 minutes from the meeting point to the venue. We plan timings around the ceremony start.

Can we have a baraat at a gurdwara or mandir?

Often, yes, outside and at an agreed distance. Each place of worship has its own rules, so we check with them before confirming.

Can the groom arrive on a horse?

Yes. Our partners supply decorated horses and carriages, as long as the venue allows them.
