Sangeet DJ at Charles Krug Winery

DJ, MC, and program sound for a 243 guest sangeet at Charles Krug Winery in St. Helena, with DJ Love on the music.

St. Helena, Napa Valley

Our work at Charles Krug.

Charles Krug is one of the oldest wineries in Napa Valley, and its timber beamed hall makes a striking room for a sangeet. We DJed Joanna and Mehul’s Friday sangeet here, planned by Behl Events, with decor by Paradise Parkway. Every photo on this page is from that night.

The night, in photos.

“There were no awkward silences.”

“As a non-Indian bride hosting a fusion Indian event, I don’t know a lot of Indian music so DJ Love was instrumental in playing popular Indian songs for the Sangeet.”

Planning notes.

This sangeet moved through the evening in stages: welcome drinks, appetizers, and henna as the shuttles arrived, then dinner stations, then everyone upstairs for the program, and finally the dance floor. Each move was an announcement on the mic, timed with the planner, so 243 guests got where they needed to be without the night losing its energy.

Family performances are the heart of a sangeet, and they only work when the audio is ready. We collected every track in advance, edited lead in time where the dancers asked for it, and set up singing mics for Mehul’s mom, so each act started cleanly.

Most guests came by shuttle from their hotel, so arrivals came in waves. Plan your welcome music and first announcements around the shuttle schedule, not just the official start time.
