What is an engagement?

The roka, mangni or engagement is when families formally agree the match and celebrate together, often with a ring exchange, gifts and a meal. It can be a small gathering at home or a full party in a hall or restaurant.

We help with the parts that make it feel like an occasion: a DJ or live singer, a dhol entrance for the couple, decor and a backdrop for photos, and a photographer to capture it.

Where it works best

  • Step 1

    Decor and a backdrop for the ring exchange

  • Step 2

    A dhol entrance for the couple

  • Step 3

    A DJ or live singer for the party

  • Step 4

    A photographer and photo booth for family pictures

Tips from our team

  1. 1

    Build one great photo spot

    A backdrop with flowers and lighting gives every family group the same lovely photo.

  2. 2

    Keep the entrance short

    Two minutes of dhol for the couple's walk-in is all a smaller room needs.

  3. 3

    Plan the gifts and speeches

    Give the DJ a simple running order so music stops at the right moments.

Frequently asked questions

Which venues near Crawley can hold a large Asian wedding?

On our list, Copthorne Effingham Park Hotel (up to 600 guests) and Lingfield Racecourse (up to 450 guests) can take 400 or more guests. Tell us your venue and numbers and we will plan engagement entertainment around the space.

Do venues around Crawley 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.

All of RH6, RH10, RH11 and RH19, including Crawley Down, Copthorne, Mid Sussex, Pease Pottage, East Grinstead and Felbridge, plus the rest of West Sussex and nearby Horsham, Redhill, Forest Row and Haywards Heath.

Is an engagement party too small for entertainment?

Not at all. A DJ and a dhol entrance work well even for 50 guests, and we scale the line-up to the room.

Yes. Our decor partners work in homes, restaurants and halls.
