Making Savings on Sikh Wedding, help required

Hi Guys,

I got my wedding coming up in March 2009, so not long now, yikes. If your new to a sikh wedding, there some traditions you have to have, like inviting a huge number of people, at the moment ours stand at 300 peeps, all have to be catered for and drink must be supplied.

schedule:

pre-wedding party,
Temple ceremony and reception party

Ive saved on certain areas like not having a pre wedding party in a banquet hall but hosting it at my house, with a friends and family, and buying drink from supermarket, food will be cooked by family and friends, and musics will be from free Sky Indian channel ;)

Im looking for a good Dj for the reception does anyone know of any?, i live in the bradford area.

thanks

    Are you Sikh yourself? Just asking because every Sikh I've known abstains from alcohol, so you probably wouldn't need to provide drinks.
