FAQs
Question
What do I wear?
Answer
Most of the events will be semi-formal to formal. You can wear the style of clothing that you feel most comfortable in, i.e. traditional Indian wear or local American wear. Make sure to bring comfortable shoes as there will be a lot of dancing! We kindly request that you do not wear black for Haldi/Mehendi (pre wedding ceremony) and the Wedding. For the reception, there are no color restrictions. Sparklier the better!

Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
Kids are absolutely welcome! Indian weddings are meant for everyone so we don't want to exclude anyone. We just ask that the kids remain respectful during the wedding ceremony. We understand that some situations are unavoidable with children, but there are plenty of areas at our venue to relocate to until the situation is resolved and then can return to enjoy the rest of the day.
Question
Are you registered? Where?
Answer
We have most everything we need so we decided to forgo a registry. Your presence at our wedding is a gift to us. However, if you would like to give us a gift, we have a future home fund that you can contribute to. There will also be a card box at the wedding and reception. No boxed or bagged gifts please.
Question
I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?
Answer
We want everyone to be able to enjoy the festivities so please let us know if you do have food allergies. We will do our best to accommodate you. Any questions, please reach out to us via this website or Suseela Yalamarthy, Ayesha's mom: 989-996-0409
Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
The first event, the Baraat, starts at 9:30am so we recommend that you arrive 10-15 minutes beforehand so that you can enjoy the full experience :)
Question
Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?
Answer
Yes! The venue, Baldoria on the Water, has a huge parking lot where you can park your car. If for some reason the parking lot fills up, there is extensive additional parking nearby within 1-2 minutes walking distance.
Question
Are there any other events that I should know about around the wedding?
Answer
Other than what is listed in the schedule, there are no additional events. So feel free to arrive a few days early or stay later into the week to check out Denver and the surrounding areas. There is lots to do here! Marriott Denver West is honoring the discounted group rate 3 days before and 3 days after the wedding.
Question
Do you have any hotel recommendations?
Answer
Yes! If you click on the "Travel" tab, you will find the link to Denver Marriott West where we have a block of rooms reserved. Please use the link or if you call the hotel, reference the Yalamarthy/Srinivasa Wedding. Marriott Denver West is honoring the discounted group rate 3 days before and 3 days after the wedding. Another hotel we recommend is Home2Suites by Hilton, which is also located on the "Travel" tab. We unfortunately don't have rooms blocked there but it is right next to the venue and has comfortable accommodations.
Question
Is there anything I should know about being in Colorado?
Answer
A good portion of Colorado, especially Denver, is at a higher altitude than most of the country. That's why we're called the Mile High City, we're at 5280ft or 1 mile above sea level. As such, you may experience some shortness of breath when you first arrive. This will abate, especially if you stay hydrated. Also, if you choose to partake in any alcoholic beverages during the reception, please note that 1 drink at altitude is equivalent to 2 drinks at sea level.
