Entrance, set or both?
A flexible format for the way your event flows
In Newtownabbey, 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.
For Newtownabbey, think first about the guest experience. A short, high-impact arrival may need a different pace from a procession that brings a larger group towards the venue. If the players will move between spaces, tell us where each part begins and ends.
For a baraat or groom entrance in Newtownabbey, include the gathering point, expected route and who will lead the group. Explore our wedding dhol service and baraat and groom entrance guide.

For receptions and staged events, let us know how the DJ, host or production team will introduce the dhol. A named cue and a clear finish keep the performance aligned with the rest of the programme.
