A Pelican Hill Wedding with Desi Beat Collective

Desi Beat Collective performed at this Indian wedding at The Resort at Pelican Hill in Newport Beach. White flowers frame the oceanfront ceremony, while the evening photographs capture a celebration full of movement, color and energy.

The gallery brings together the quieter ceremony setting and the bigger party moments: a live dhol entrance, guests dancing beside a white DJ booth and a burst of celebration with handheld CO₂ cannons. Moving lights and a mirror ball add to the atmosphere around the dance floor.

For couples planning a wedding weekend, these moments show how traditional live music and a high-energy party can sit comfortably within an elegant setting. Start with the feeling you want for each part of the day, then build the music and production around it.
