Wedding sangeet song list

With weddings popping up left, right, centre and diagonal and with me not being able to attend many, I thought I’d put together a list of appropriate songs for a filmy stellar Indian wedding sangeet and contribute to the celebrations remotely.

Don’t expect too many item songs or any songs with nonsensical lyrics. A wedding sangeet is in effect a way of expressing your emotions of love, gratitude, happiness, joy and good wishes by way of song and dance to and for the bride and the groom. Just lose all your inhibitions to join in the spirit. Thus, it is only appropriate that the theme of the sangeet is ‘wedding’ and not anything else.

Remember, you could shuffle the songs across the different dancer-categories and some could be just for the couple or solo performances.

Key:

Punters - Couple's male friends and male family members

Girlies - Couple's female friends and female family members

Here is a living breathing list of wedding songs that I regularly update. Please comment with any more additions you would like to add. Do let me know if you can't find any of the songs below.
