Are children invited?
While we adore your little ones, due to venue capacity we are only able to accommodate children of immediate family and guests traveling from out of town.
We truly appreciate your understanding.
When should I arrive?
We recommend arriving 15–20 minutes before the scheduled start time of each event so you have time to settle in before the celebrations begin. For the ceremony, guests may wish to arrive earlier to experience the Baraat procession.
What should I wear?
Each event has its own style and level of formality. Guests are encouraged to dress festively and comfortably for the celebration.
Sangeet: Festive cocktail or traditional attire. Bright colors and celebratory outfits are encouraged.
Hindu Ceremony: Traditional Indian attire or formal wear is welcome. Many guests choose sarees, lehengas, or suits, but formal Western attire is equally appropriate.
Reception: Formal evening attire.
Is traditional attire required?
Traditional Indian attire is always welcome, but not required. Guests are encouraged to wear whatever makes them feel comfortable while celebrating with us.
What is a Sangeet?
The Sangeet is a joyful pre-wedding celebration filled with music, dancing, and performances by family and friends. It’s a vibrant evening meant to bring both families together and begin the wedding festivities with energy and celebration.
What is the Baraat?
The Baraat is the groom’s wedding procession, where family and friends accompany him to the ceremony with music, dancing, and celebration. Guests are warmly invited to join the procession as we welcome Akhil to the ceremony in joyful style.
What should I expect during the Hindu ceremony?
Our wedding ceremony will follow traditional Hindu rituals centered around a sacred fire. Guided by a priest, we will take seven symbolic steps together, each representing vows of partnership, love, and shared purpose. The ceremony includes meaningful traditions and family participation, and we are honored to share this sacred moment with you.
Can I take photos during the ceremony?
We kindly ask guests to be fully present during the ceremony. Should you wish to take picture, please be mindful of our professional photographers who will capture the special moments and be moving around.
Do I need to participate in the traditions?
Many of the traditions during the wedding ceremony involve family members, but guests are welcome to simply observe and enjoy the experience. If you are invited to participate in a specific moment, someone will guide you along the way.
