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 Watford can hold a large Asian wedding?
On our list, Hunton Park Hotel (up to 500 guests), The Grove (up to 400 guests) and The Manor Elstree (up to 400 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 Watford 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 Watford do you cover?
All of WD4, WD5, WD17, WD18, WD19, WD23, WD24 and WD25, including Bushey, Rickmansworth, Hertsmere, Aldenham, Patchetts Green and Kings Langley, plus the rest of Hertfordshire and nearby Rickmansworth, Borehamwood, St Albans and Hemel Hempstead.
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.
