Your live singer in New Zealand

Indians have lived in New Zealand since the nineteenth century, many of them Gujarati farmers and shopkeepers, and the community has grown strongly through skilled migration. Today Auckland, Wellington and Hamilton have large Indian populations, with temples, cricket clubs and Diwali festivals that draw the wider public.

The country’s scenery draws couples from India: the winery venues of Hawke’s Bay and Central Otago, the lake shores of Queenstown and Taupo, and the geothermal landscape of Rotorua. Weddings are small and picturesque.

Seasons are reversed, so Diwali falls in spring. The band plans for distance, plans for weather and works with local organisers for visas and venues.

Seasons and festivals in New Zealand

Summer, from December to February, is the wedding season, and autumn in March and April is ideal for vineyards. Diwali is a spring event, and winter brings snow to the south.

Customs and etiquette in New Zealand

Kiwis are informal and friendly. Respect for Māori culture, including the greeting hongi at formal welcomes, is appreciated, and guests remove shoes at many homes.

A set list for a New Zealand evening

A winery evening might use acoustic Hindi songs, English favourites such as Wonderful Tonight and a Māori-friendly closing song such as Pokarekare Ana if requested. Auckland community nights are built around garba and dance hits.

Planning a booking in New Zealand

Most Indian events in New Zealand are in Auckland, with smaller communities in Wellington, Hamilton and Christchurch. Destination weddings choose Queenstown’s lake and mountain venues, the wineries of Central Otago and Hawke’s Bay, and the geothermal landscapes of Rotorua.

Distances between regions are long and best covered by domestic flights. Venues in remote areas need generators and covered stages, and the weather in the south can turn cold even in summer. The visa and the programme are arranged months ahead because of the travel time from India.
