Welcome Party & Dinner

4:30 pm - 11:00 pm

We invite you to embrace the vibrant spirit of India by wearing traditional Indian attire or Indo-Western fusion looks.

We’re kicking off our wedding celebrations with an unforgettable Indian-inspired evening in the beautiful coastal paradise of Goa! Join us as we embrace the colorful traditions of India and celebrate love, joy, and togetherness. We encourage our guests to dress in traditional Indian attire—ladies, think sarees, lehengas, or sharara sets, and gentlemen, don your kurta sets, nehru jackets, or sherwanis. Feel free to have fun with bold, bright colors—we want everyone to feel as radiant as this special occasion! The celebration will take place on a beautiful lawn, so we encourage guests to wear comfortable shoes for the occasion. While we love a good stiletto, the grass might be more suited to flatter, block heels or stylish sandals. Let’s keep things comfy while looking fabulous!
