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.
