Justin & Dalveen’s 3-Day Punjabi Wedding at Eagle Ridge | A Cultural Celebration
Justin & Dalveen’s 3-Day Punjabi Wedding
Justin and Dalveen’s stunning 3-day Punjabi wedding was a celebration of love, tradition, and unity. As their videographer, I had the privilege of capturing this unique blend of Punjabi and Middle Eastern customs, all set against the backdrop of some truly spectacular venues. Each day was filled with cultural richness, from the lively Sangeet and Jaggo to the serene Maiyan and the breathtaking wedding day at Eagle Ridge Country Estate.
Day 1: Sangeet & Jaggo – Vibrancy and Tradition
The celebrations kicked off with the Sangeet and Jaggo—two key Punjabi pre-wedding events. The Sangeet was alive with colorful dance performances, where friends and family performed energetic routines, bringing everyone into the spirit of celebration. The Jaggo is a traditional ceremony where the families come together to celebrate the upcoming union with music, dancing, and a lighted brass pot with a candle light. In this case, what made the night even more special was the couple leading everyone to the Te Awamutu Sports Club, which was named after Dalveen’s grandfather. It was a meaningful way to tie in family history with the start of their new life together.
Day 2: Maiyan & Mehndi – A Calm and Cultural Gathering
The second day of festivities was much more relaxed, focusing on the Maiyan and Mehndi ceremonies. The Maiyan involves the application of turmeric paste to both the bride and groom, a ritual meant to bless and purify them ahead of the wedding day. The Mehndi ceremony is a traditional part of Punjabi weddings, where henna is applied to the bride’s hands and feet in intricate designs. This day was spent at the bride’s parents' farm, surrounded by family and traditional Punjabi food. It was a beautiful, calming day, and capturing these intimate moments felt like stepping into a different world filled with cultural richness.
Day 3: Wedding Day at Eagle Ridge Country Estate – A Magical Day Despite the Rain
The third and final day was the wedding day at the magnificent Eagle Ridge Country Estate in Ohauiti, near Tauranga. Despite the rain pouring all day, Justin and Dalveen remained joyful and undeterred. Their Sikh wedding ceremony was filled with love, and their vibrant reception brought warmth and happiness to everyone in attendance. The couple’s first dance was absolutely breathtaking, with fireworks and sparklers creating a magical atmosphere that felt straight out of a movie.
The venue at Eagle Ridge was nothing short of spectacular, offering panoramic views that would have been even more stunning on a clear day, but the rain did little to dampen the spirits of those in attendance. Both families came together to celebrate the union of two cultures, with Dalveen’s Punjabi roots blending beautifully with Justin’s Middle Eastern background, creating a wedding full of love and respect.

This was one of the most touching moments of the entire wedding. While tears were shed, they were tears of happiness as both families rejoiced in the love and union of the couple.
