Live music for a wedding in India
A Punjabi sangeet wants a dancing crowd, a Bengali reception wants old Hindi film songs, a Marwari wedding in Hyderabad wants a long programme, a Tamil reception for a North Indian family wants a familiar Hindi voice. Dharmik Chudasama has performed more than 700 shows across India and travels from Mumbai for weddings anywhere.
The repertoire is Hindi: Bollywood, Sufi, ghazal and retro film songs, with garba and bhajans for families who want them. The format scales from a solo singer to a full band, and the plan covers each function, from the first ritual to the reception. Most bookings come from Maharashtra and Gujarat, with regular requests from Rajasthan, Goa, Delhi NCR, Madhya Pradesh and the southern and eastern metros.
Outstation weddings reward early planning. The fee, the flights or road transport and the hotel are agreed together on WhatsApp, a band usually lands the day before and the venue’s rules on sound and equipment are checked weeks earlier. The city pages in this section describe what each place looks like.

An Indian wedding is many weddings
No two regions marry alike. A Punjabi wedding wants a dancing crowd and a sangeet with a long list of acts; a Bengali wedding wants old Hindi film songs and a long, unhurried feast; a Marwari wedding in Hyderabad wants a long programme with rehearsed performances; a South Indian wedding wants a morning muhurtham and a quieter evening reception; a Gujarati wedding wants garba. A singer who travels has to read the room before the first note.
The repertoire is Hindi and its neighbours: Bollywood from every decade, Sufi, ghazal and retro film songs, with garba, bhajans and Punjabi or Marathi favourites on request. The format scales from a solo singer to a full band, and the plan covers each function from the first ritual to the reception.
Booking a wedding singer away from Mumbai
Most bookings are in Maharashtra and Gujarat, with regular requests from Rajasthan, Goa, Delhi NCR, Madhya Pradesh and the southern and eastern metros. Outstation weddings reward early planning: the fee, the transport and the hotel are agreed together, a band usually arrives the day before, and the venue’s rules on sound and equipment are checked weeks earlier.
Palaces, forts and old clubs restrict stages and sound, and farmhouses need a generator and a covered stage. We ask for the venue’s name and the finishing hour in the first message, and the plan is written around them. The city pages in this section describe what each place looks like.
