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.

Tips from our team
- 1
Build one great photo spot
A backdrop with flowers and lighting gives every family group the same lovely photo.
- 2
Keep the entrance short
Two minutes of dhol for the couple's walk-in is all a smaller room needs.
- 3
Plan the gifts and speeches
Give the DJ a simple running order so music stops at the right moments.
