Bride and groom entrance with dhol players: how it works
Last updated 30 October 2026
The players stand on the dancefloor and drum to a high-energy track you choose beforehand. That lets them hear the music and gives your photographer and videographer a clear shot.
Where the players stand
On the dancefloor, either side of a clear route in. They can hear the track from there and stay out of the camera's way.
Choosing the track
Pick something with a strong tempo and a clear drop, because the dhol plays over it. Send it with your enquiry and we pass it to the team and your DJ.
Who to tell
Your DJ, photographer, videographer and venue. A short plan with the time, the track and the route stops last-minute confusion.
How many players
Two cover most entrances. A large room or a bigger moment may suit three or four, as long as the venue allows it.
Add a baraat or a main set
Many couples book the entrance, then a set later, and add a baraat during the day. One team can do all three.
See entrances from £295 and entrance + set from £495
