With Jhakaas Entertainment starting the multi-day Indian wedding celebration off with their expert DJ and lighting skills at the sangeet, and now lending their support as sound specialists to make sure that DJUSA sounded their very best, everything from the pre-wedding festivities to this reception was a complete success!

Maharani Allisha, on her wedding style:

"When we first decided the wedding would be in Arizona, my hometown, my first thought was I wanted to incorporate NYC, where we live now, into the wedding. About half of our guests would be traveling from NYC, so I thought it would be a nice tribute to those traveling to show our appreciate for them. Also, I have also had a strange obsession with peacocks since I was about 13 years old, so I knew I wanted to have a reception that was peacock-themed. Luckily, I found a husband that would allow that to shine through."

On her and Akshit's first dance:

"I come from a dance background, and spent the last 3 years on a competitive Bhangra dance team from the Boston area. My husband and I decided we wanted have our slow song to "Gerua", and then surprise our guests with a Bhangra performance to the song, "Boli Pani". It was executed perfectly, even after practicing only an our before it was time."

See you tomorrow for an equally exquisite wedding event, Maharanis!
