Entrance, set or both?
A flexible format for the way your event flows
In Prestonpans, 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 Prestonpans, 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 Prestonpans, 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.
A named on-site contact is especially helpful in Prestonpans. They can show the players where to wait, confirm that guests are ready and give the agreed signal without relying on several messages at once.
For Prestonpans, 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.
