Follow the tips to plan a Sangeet night with perfection so you can have the dance face-off without any worries!
We have to agree! If Indian weddings are known for something, it’s for the grand celebrations; vibrant colours; hearts full of fun, warmth and love; and the people who dance and enjoy themselves like no one is watching. And, isn’t that what a Sangeet night is all about? But, for such a celebration to happen smoothly, meticulous planning is extremely important. Let Wedding Affair guide you to plan the perfect Sangeet night. Follow the tips provided below, and you’ll have the complete ingredients to make the celebration magical!
Tip 1: It’s all about the venue!
The kind of venue you select for the sangeet ceremony will decide how the vibe of the night will go. Pick up a space that will not just comfortably accommodate all your guests, but will also provide everyone with enough room to dance the night away. The wise choice would be to go for an outdoor venue or a farmhouse so that you and your guests can enjoy a more open and airy atmosphere. It will also allow you to ditch boring traditional decorations and opt for more creative decor setups, like fairy lights, canopies, stage backdrops and lounge areas.

Tip 2: Keep the guests entertained
Sangeet night is all about entertainment, entertainment, entertainment! It’s the key to hosting the most memorable night your guests can have throughout the wedding celebrations, and you can’t achieve that with just dance. Engage the audience and make them participate with you. Host fun family games, like “Guess the Song”, where guests will have to identify tunes from just a few beats, or a “Couple Quiz”, where the bride and the groom answer hilarious questions about each other. For a fun twist, host a karaoke session or live dhol performance to keep the energy levels high throughout the night. You can also hire an emcee who can seamlessly guide the flow of the evening, ensuring there’s never a dull moment.
Tip 3: Hire an on-call choreographer
To rock that face-off with the groom team and swipe them off their feet, you have to hire a choreographer anyway, so why not have them on the day of the event as well? This way, you can seamlessly prepare your performances for the Sangeet night and even take guidance for the last-minute rehearsals. They can assist you with stage positioning, transitions between performances and ensure the flow of the evening remains energetic and cohesive. Bonus: They can jump in to fine-tune impromptu performances, giving a scare to the groom’s side (all in good fun, of course).
Tip 4: Set up a dance floor with visual effects
One of the best ways to ensure that you grab the attention of the guests is by bringing in a wow factor that they’ll get mesmerised by. You can invest in a lit-up dance floor, LED screens, or projectors to enhance your performance as well as the overall ambience. For an even grander touch, consider incorporating special effects like a smoke machine or confetti cannons during key moments of the performance. This will create a magical atmosphere that your guests are sure to remember for a long time.
Tip 5: Stay ahead with foolproof backups
Your sangeet planning is incomplete if you do not have any backup for the tech involved. Keep extra microphones, a backup for the music system, lighting, as well as a USB drive for all the important music files. Technical glitches can dampen the spirit of the night, so it’s crucial to stay prepared. You can assign a dedicated person or hire a professional to oversee the sound and the lighting setup throughout the event. Taking it a step further, you can also have a backup generator or a power source in case of electricity issues, especially if it’s an outdoor venue.
