What is a haldi?
Haldi in Hindu weddings and maiyan (or vatna) in Punjabi Sikh weddings are the ceremonies where family members apply a turmeric paste to the bride or groom before the wedding, for blessings and a glow on the day. They are usually relaxed, daytime and full of yellow.
Most happen at home or in a garden. We help with the parts that make them feel special: yellow and marigold decor, folk singers, a dhol to finish, and photographers and videographers to capture the colour.

Yellow and marigold decor with a seat for the bride or groom
Step 2
Folk songs while the family take turns

Tips from our team
- 1
Dress for mess
Turmeric stains. Old clothes in yellow for family, and covers for floors and furniture.
- 2
Shoot in daylight
Haldi photos look best outdoors or by a big window. Plan the timing with your photographer.
- 3
Keep it short and fun
A focused hour of ceremony, songs and dhol keeps energy high before a busy wedding week.
Frequently asked questions
Do venues around Stockport 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 Stockport do you cover?
All of M18, M19, M20, M22, SK1, SK2, SK3, SK4, SK5, SK6, SK7 and SK8, including Cheadle Hulme, Cheadle, Gatley, Heald Green, Marple and Bredbury, plus the rest of Greater Manchester and nearby Manchester, Ashton-under-Lyne, Wilmslow and Cheetham Hill.
Is haldi the same as maiyan?
They are very similar. Haldi is the term used in many Hindu weddings and maiyan or vatna in Punjabi Sikh weddings. Both involve applying a turmeric paste with blessings from family.
Can you decorate a home for a haldi?
Yes. Our decor partners can dress a living room, garden or marquee with drapes, flowers and a seat for the ceremony.
