Entrance, set or both?
A flexible format for the way your event flows
In Barking, an entrance moves with people from a defined starting point to a clear destination. A performance set stays within an agreed area and gives guests a focused live feature. If your day would benefit from both, share the order and the time between each moment.
If your Barking celebration includes both an entrance and a set, treat them as two clear moments. Share the transition, any waiting time and whether the players move to a different room or address before the second part begins.
For a baraat or groom entrance in Barking, include the gathering point, expected route and who will lead the group. Explore our wedding dhol service and baraat and groom entrance guide.
DJ and venue coordination
Keep everyone working from the same plan
If a DJ is involved, it helps to agree one clear transition. Share the DJ or organiser contact, the music immediately before the dhol and the point at which the live performance should take over or finish.
If your Barking event uses a stage, ballroom or separate reception room, explain where the players enter and whether they need to cross a guest or service area. A simple route description is often enough.
For Barking, venue access matters too. Let us know about parking or loading, stairs or lifts, outdoor surfaces, sound restrictions and where the players can wait without blocking guests or staff.
