FAQs

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Our wedding will be a celebration full of color, culture, and joy—and we’d love for your outfits to reflect that spirit! We encourage guests to wear Indian attire—think sarees, lehengas, salwar kameez, sherwanis, or kurta pajamas. If you’ve never worn Indian clothing before, don’t worry! We’re happy to help you find something comfortable and beautiful. Just reach out to us and we’ll point you in the right direction. If Indian attire isn’t an option, you’re welcome to wear festive, colorful, cocktail or formal wear. The ceremony and reception will be outdoors, so we recommend block heels or comfortable shoes for walking on natural ground. Marin is generally temperate, but we also recommend bringing a warm layer (shawl or jacket), in case it gets chilly in the evening. We can’t wait to celebrate with you—dressed in your finest!

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

The ceremony will begin promptly at 2:30 PM. We recommend arriving by 1:30 PM to park, get settled, enjoy our welcome offerings, and take in the beautiful redwood surroundings before the festivities begin.

Question

Should I bring a gift?

Answer

Your presence at our wedding means the world to us—truly! We kindly ask that you please refrain from bringing boxed or physical gifts to the venue. If you'd like to contribute to our next chapter together, we invite you to click our "Registry" page, where you’ll find options to send a gift or contribute to a honeymoon or future fund. We’re so grateful for your love and support! Thank you for celebrating with us—we can't wait to share this special day with you.

Question

What is the parking situation?

Answer

There is a medium-sized parking lot than can accommodate ~70 cars at Deer Park Villa. Shuttles will be available for those who are staying at the hotel blocks. Carpooling or using a rideshare service is encouraged if possible. If you plan on celebrating with a drink, please make sure you have a designated driver!
