Entries and spectacle · 2026 wedding season
The mascot in the baraat
A full-body gorilla suit walks into the procession and every phone turns away from the horse.
What it actually is
A performer in a full-body character suit joins the baraat unannounced, dances through the peak of it, and leaves. The gorilla is the default and the Labubu and Tatya Bichoo suits are now circulating too. It also works at a sangeet or an after-party, but the baraat is where it is most often booked, because that is the one procession where a stranger in a costume reads as part of the plan rather than a mistake.
Indicative cost
₹5,000–15,000 per artist in Ahmedabad and Surat; ₹20,000–50,000 in Delhi and Mumbai, before logistics
A range for a Gujarat wedding in the 2026 wedding season, not a quote. It moves with guest count, city and how far out you book. Get three.
When it works
- The peak of the baraat, once the crowd is already dancing
- A sangeet or after-party that has run long and needs a second wind
- You can cap it at twenty minutes rather than letting it run
- The DJ has rehearsed the entry with the performer a day before, not on the day
The part nobody else prints
How this goes wrong
Twenty minutes, not an hour — guests describe it turning repetitive fast, and the whole act is a surprise that cannot be sustained. The suit badly limits both vision and airflow, so a performer given no breaks will overheat or simply go flat. Look hard at what your vendor pays the person inside it: at the budget end the client is charged ₹8,000 and the performer is paid ₹1,000, and that gap is exactly what a tired, careless act looks like on video.
Every idea here is easier than telling three hundred people about it.
You can book all of this and still spend the month chasing headcounts. That part is what we do — the invitations, the replies, the rooms, the arrivals, on WhatsApp, with a person making the first call and a person checking every count.
