A Gujarati reception highlight, from the entrance to the last dance
The reception is often the evening event after the wedding, held by one or both families, where the newly married couple is introduced to a wider circle of guests. In many Gujarati families it includes the couple's grand entrance, greetings on stage, speeches or toasts, a buffet of Gujarati and other dishes, and dancing, sometimes another round of garba. Upload the reception as its own WeddingEditor project, say which moments and guests matter, and WeddingEditor's AI editing makes a Highlight Reel of about 5 minutes or a Social Teaser.

How to get a reception highlight
- 1
Upload the evening
Put the reception footage in its own project if the couple wants a separate film. Upload every camera, including any stage camera, straight from the cards. Keep the browser tab open while the upload runs.
- 2
Say who spoke and who danced
List the entrance, any speeches, the cake or first dance, and the garba round if there was one. Name the speakers and the couple's closest friends and family, and use the avoid question for anything the couple would rather leave out.
- 3
Receive the film and revise
Pay or use a plan credit and start processing, typically 24 to 72 hours. WeddingEditor's AI editing makes the edit, then you watch it in the app, download the 1080p MP4 and email notes for up to two revision rounds.

What is a Gujarati wedding reception?
A Gujarati wedding reception is the celebration after the wedding ceremony at which the married couple is introduced to family, friends and the wider community, usually with greetings, food and dancing.
It is separate from the wedding ceremony and the vidaai, and in many families it is hosted on a different day or by the groom's family. It is not a religious ritual.
Reception highlight questions
Can the reception be a separate film?
Yes. Create a project for the reception alone. A separate garba project yields a second edit, charged as its own purchase or credit.
Will the speeches be used?
The edit keeps the recorded sound, so speeches can be used. Name the speakers and the lines that matter in the preferences, for example the sister's story about the couple meeting, and say whether long speeches should be trimmed to a line or two.
The reception was in a dark hall. Is that a problem?
The AI editing works with the footage as you shot it. Point them to the stage camera or the clips where the couple's faces are clearest, especially for the entrance.
The reception had a garba round. Will that be included?
If you list it in the moments that must be included and it is in the footage, WeddingEditor's AI editing builds it in.
How is music used in the reception film?
Music and the real sound of the reception are used together. Choose more speeches and voices in the audio preference if the toasts matter, or a music-led balance for the dancing.
Does WeddingEditor decide which elders must be acknowledged in the film?
No, that is the family's decision. Name the elders and relatives who must appear in the people question, and WeddingEditor's AI editing follows that list from your footage.
Does WeddingEditor send the film to the couple?
No. You download the edit and decide what to deliver and when.
