FAQs
Question
What time should I arrive at the events?
Answer
Please plan to arrive 15–20 minutes before the start of each event so you have time to get settled before the ceremony or reception begins.
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
For the ceremony, guests are encouraged to wear Indian attire or formal Western attire. Colorful and vibrant outfits are preferred! For the evening cocktail hour and reception, the dress code will be black tie. Men should wear a tuxedo or dark elevated suit. Women should wear a mid to floor-length gown of any color. Please avoid wearing white or white-adjacent colors please! We can’t wait to see everyone dressed up and ready to celebrate with us!
