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.
Where it works best
Step 1
A mehndi stage or swing for the bride, with drapes and flowers
Step 2
Folk singers or a dholki session while the henna goes on
Step 3
A dhol entrance for the bride
Step 4
Family dance performances, then professional dancers to lift the floor
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.
