Planning notes
Live music for a wedding in UK
A singer who understands the order of the day, with its quiet moments and its fast ones, is as important as the caterer.
Dharmik travels from Mumbai with Hindi film songs, Sufi, ghazal and Gujarati and Punjabi favourites, planned around the programme the family sends. British venues are strict about licences, noise and finishing times, and a visa or permit is needed for the trip, so the booking begins with those details. A full band normally arrives a day early.
Planning notes for UK
-
Licence and noise limits
Venues in the UK usually hold a music licence and set a sound limit; ask for both before the format is chosen.
-
Marquee weddings
A garden marquee needs a covered stage, a floor and a plan for rain and cold evenings.
-
The order of the day
Send the timeline, including the baraat and speeches, so the music is cut around it.

British Asian weddings and their rhythm
A British Asian wedding is a grand production, with a baraat that passes through a car park, a banquet hall decorated for days, a marquee in a garden and a reception that runs until the hall’s licence ends. The Gujarati community in Wembley, Harrow and Leicester and the Punjabi community in Southall and Birmingham each have their own traditions, and the singer is expected to follow the order of the day.
Hindi film songs, Sufi, ghazal and Gujarati and Punjabi favourites are what families ask for, and the set is planned from their list. British hosts are punctual about the timeline, so the speeches, the first dance and the closing hour are written into the plan.
Licences, noise and the English weather
British venues hold music licences and set sound limits and finishing times, and a visa or permit is needed for a performance trip. The band asks for the licence and the limit before the format is chosen, and plans the set to end before the venue’s closing hour.
A garden marquee needs a floor, a covered stage and a plan for rain and cool evenings, even in summer. The band arrives a day early to settle in after the flight and to check the sound in the room.
A set for a British Asian wedding
A British Asian wedding set follows the order of the day. It opens with a gentle song as the guests arrive, accompanies the speeches with soft melodies, fills the dinner with familiar Hindi songs and closes with the dance round, including Gujarati and Punjabi favourites. A first-dance song for the couple is chosen in advance.
The set respects the venue’s licence and finishing time, and the final song lands before the bar closes.
