What is a mehndi?
The mehndi is the pre-wedding celebration where the bride, and often the women of both families, have henna applied. It is usually the most colourful event of the wedding week, with bright decor, swings, floor seating, folk songs and dancing.
Punjabi, Pakistani, Gujarati and many other families celebrate it in their own way. We bring the entertainment and set-up that suit yours: dhol, folk singers, Bollywood or bhangra dancers, a DJ, a mehndi stage and decor.

Step 5
A DJ for the rest of the night
Tips from our team
- 1
Give the henna space and light
Henna takes time. A well-lit corner away from the dance floor keeps the bride comfortable while the party carries on.
- 2
Build the night around performances
Family dance routines are a highlight. Book a slot in the running order and give the DJ the tracks in advance.
- 3
Pick a colour palette early
Mehndi decor usually goes bold: marigold, pinks and greens. Share your colours and we match the stage and drapes.
Frequently asked questions
Do venues around Ely 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 Ely do you cover?
All of CB6 and CB7, including Littleport, Sutton, Haddenham, Witchford, Soham and Isleham, plus the rest of Cambridgeshire and nearby Burwell, March, Mildenhall and Ramsey.
What entertainment works best at a mehndi?
Dhol, folk singers or a dholki session, dancers and a DJ are the classic mix. Smaller mehndis often keep it to folk songs and a DJ, larger ones add a dhol entrance and professional dancers.
Can you supply a mehndi stage and decor?
