Mangni · Roka · Sagai · Asian & Western Engagement Parties · 50 to 500 Guests · From £1,800
The engagement party is the first formal celebration of your married life — and increasingly, British Asian, Muslim, Sikh and Hindu families treat it with the same care as the wedding itself. LUXE VENUE in Sparkbrook (B12 0UD) has become Birmingham's go-to engagement venue precisely because we understand the cultural nuance: a Mangni is not a Roka is not a Sagai is not a Western engagement party — and the venue, food, decor and timings need to match the tradition.
Whether you're hosting an intimate 50-person family gathering or a 500-guest pre-wedding statement event, this page gives you the full picture of packages, customs, decor options and how to lock in a date.
Weekday or Sunday afternoon. 50–100 guests. 3-hour hire.
Friday evening or Saturday afternoon. 150 guests. 4-hour hire.
Saturday evening peak. 250 guests. 6-hour hire.
Many Birmingham families blend traditions — particularly second-generation British Asian couples whose parents come from different communities. Here's the quick reference:
We've hosted every variation listed above. Our event coordinators understand each ritual's prop requirements (puja thali, ring trays, garlands) and brief the kitchen accordingly.
The most common engagement day at our venue looks like this:
This 5-hour flow works equally well for Pakistani Mangni, Indian Roka, or modern fusion celebrations.
Engagement decor at LUXE VENUE typically falls into three styles:
Soft pink-and-cream florals, sheer drapes, fairy-light backdrop. The most photographed engagement style of 2025. Suits Asian, Muslim and Western styles equally.
Black-and-gold palette, geometric backdrop, mirror walkway, dramatic lighting. Popular with second-generation couples wanting an Instagram-led aesthetic.
Rich reds, gold accents, lantern lighting, layered drapes, mehndi-inspired details. Suits formal Pakistani Mangni or Indian Sagai.
All three styles are available within our Premium and Luxury packages. We can also work with your external decorator at no extra fee — we welcome your stylist into the venue 4 hours before guest arrival.
Our HMC-certified kitchen offers three engagement menu paths:
All packages include mithai (Asian sweets) or dessert station. Live cooking stations (chaat, kebab grill, dosa) are available as £2–£4 per head add-ons.
Engagement photos sit at the start of every wedding photo album — many couples spend more on engagement photography than on the engagement venue itself. We provide a written shot-list cheat sheet for any photographer working in our venue: ideal lighting positions, sunset window times, stage angles, group photo arrangements. Past photographers we've worked with regularly: Shahir Studios, Nazi Imran, Sonu Images, A B Cinematics.
Engagement dates fill 4–6 months ahead in our calendar — slightly faster than weddings, because engagements often happen in Friday/Saturday evening slots that already see wedding demand. To secure a date:
