Our couples love us because of our knowledge and experience with many different music genres. It's natural for Indian wedding couples to seek our advice on what would be the best fit for them for all of the key wedding moments. Half of the Indian weddings we DJ are with both the bride and groom being of South Asian descent (Hindu, Christian or Muslim). The other half of the weddings we do are mixed or fusion weddings where one person is from South Asian descent and the other is not (White, Black, Hispanic or Asian).
In 1994, we did our first Indian wedding. Who would have guessed that 24 years later, the company would grow into a team of 12 amazing DJ's that travel around the world making memories for couples. We are truly blessed to do what we love and love what we do. Thousands of couples have trusted us with the biggest and best days of their lives. We wanted to figure out a way to help couples during various parts of their journey from getting engaged to being married. The first part of our blogs focused on Venues, followed by Vendors, and now it's time for Music.
The reception is one of the most fun parts of the entire weekend. Couples look forward to this event the most. They get to finally let loose and party with friends and family. You have to set the right tone for the night. If you are excited and energized then people will feed off that energy and do the same. Your entrance plays a big role in the vibe for the night. Some couples come in dancing and singing the words, some have choreographed moves, and some come in smiling and waving. Whatever your preference, pick a song that is upbeat and the crowd can clap along too. Most of our couples are choosing American songs for their entrance, but we wanted to give you a mix of Indian and American songs for your entrance.
When coming up with the Top 13 Indian Wedding Reception Entrance Songs for Couples, we based it on the following::
- We have seen many couples either use these songs or consider using these songs.
- We wanted to give you many options so you can use the best one for you and your second favorite for your wedding party that is making an entrance right before you.
- We kept a fun night in mind that needed an energetic entrance.
- Focus on listening to the song and not watching the video. Don't overlook the perfect song because you don't like the video. No one will see the video, they will all be watching you.

This is one of the most popular T.I. songs. When it first came out in 2004, many couples wanted to use it for their entrances. As newer songs came out, we noticed it being used by either bridal parties entering in pairs or when the groomsmen were coming in together.

6) Light It Up (feat. Nyla & Fuse ODG)
Major Lazer made it to the Top 13 Indian Wedding Reception Entrance Songs for Couples list? Not what you would expect 10 years ago, but our couples are either born in America or have spent most of their lives here. Their music taste will replace that. The original Light It Up from the album Peace is the Mission was overshadowed by the huge hit, Lean On in 2015. That same year, there was an extended version of the album released which included this remix that got peoples' attention. If you want to come in singing and dancing, this will be a contender.

A great way to welcome (swagat) your guests is coming into this upbeat Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif song. Katrina makes it on the list twice.

11) Finesse - Bruno Mars
We've had the pleasure of DJing private VIP experiences right before Bruno Mars' concerts at the American Airline Center in Dallas and have seen how many people love his music. The original track is good, but the remix with Cardi B is what makes it great for entrances. All the Bruno fans previously used Uptown Funk and 24K Magic for their entrances before this version was released.
