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.
Frequently asked questions
Which venues near Oxford can hold a large Asian wedding?
On our list, Blenheim Palace (up to 500 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 Oxford 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 Oxford do you cover?
All of OX1, OX2, OX3, OX4, OX5 and OX33, including Wolvercote, Cumnor, Chawley, Kennington, Boars Hill and South Hinksey, plus the rest of Oxfordshire and nearby Abingdon, Woodstock, Didcot and Witney.
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.
Can you decorate a restaurant or home?
Yes. Our decor partners work in homes, restaurants and halls.
