    The idea of an Indian wedding without music and dance is unimaginable. You might not be able to get top Bollywood stars to perform on stage or serenade us with songs at your sangeet night (unless you’re a favoured Ambani cousin). Still, you can get your mother or second cousin to dance like one with the help of a wedding choreographer.

    Whether it's dance performances on the Sangeet night that would set the stage on fire or bridal entries that could rival Kiara Advani’s iconic ‘Raanjha’ one, having a choreographer on board for your wedding can help you create unforgettable moments.

    We’ve compiled a list of choreographers who’ve been a part of some of the most iconic weddings in recent times to make the process easier for you. Take a look…

    Putting together a homegrown title at a time when the demise of print has been long announced may seem surprising...
    ...but it has long been a dream of mine to give India a magazine it deserves. A magazine that is the country.

    Chairperson RPSG Lifestyle Media

    And nothing, absolutely nothing, represents India more than our weddings.It is a time when families are brought together. Traditions come alive as they are adapted to each couple's beliefs. And lives are joined in a way that the romantic in me still enjoys.

    Chairperson RPSG Lifestyle Media

    The fact that it comes with band, baaja and baraat — what's not to love?And that is the reason our first issue celebrates:
