Questions people ask
Is there a sound limit at The Mandolay Hotel?
Its site mentions a sound limiter. Ask us for the level and we check it with the venue before the day so the dhol set is planned around it.
What suits a barn venue like Gate Street Barn?
It seats 150 and has outdoor space, so the baraat can finish at the barn doors. We confirm the arrival route and timings with the venue.
Are there sound limits at venues in Guildford?
Rules differ from venue to venue. Some have sound limiters or finish times, and some restrict outdoor processions. Give us the venue name and we check what applies and plan around it.
Can we have a baraat in Guildford?
Yes. Tell us the venue and where you want the procession to start and finish, and we plan the route, timings and arrival with you. Some venues only allow it in the car park or grounds, so we check first.
How far ahead should I book dhol players in Guildford?
As early as you can. Saturdays in the wedding season go first. If your date is close, send it anyway and we will tell you straight away whether we can cover it.
