FAQs
Question
Will there be parking at the hotel and venue?
Answer
Given that our wedding is taking place in a large city, there unfortunately are not many free parking options in the area. The hotel provides valet parking available at $58.81 per night with in and out privileges for guests staying at the hotel. The wedding venue has a paid parking garage connected to the museum that guests are welcome to utilize. However, we recommend walking (9 minutes) or using an uber/lyft (3 minutes) as these are the much cheaper options.
Question
Why is there a break in between the wedding & reception/what should we do during that time?
Answer
Typically, we've found that a break between the wedding and reception allows guests the opportunity rest, relax, and change into less traditional attire if needed. The bride and groom will be using this time to get ready for the reception and take photographs. We recommend getting a hotel room in the area for this reason! If you are not planning on getting a hotel room, there are a number of things to do in the area during the break, including exploring Penn Museum.
Question
What is the dress code? Do I need to wear Indian attire at the wedding?
Answer
If you have it, this is a perfect occasion to bring it out! If you do not, please don't feel obligated to buy something. Suits and dresses are perfect!
Question
Are children invited?
Answer
Yes, the more the merrier! Your child/children should have been reflected on your invitation and RSVP. If we missed anyone, please reach out to either Aish or Gautam!
Question
Can I bring a plus one or a date?
Answer
We are unable to accommodate extra guests (plus ones) or dates to our ceremony/reception unless otherwise specified on your RSVP or invitation.
Question
Breakfast options on wedding morning?
Answer
