A Note to Our Beloved Guests We are so excited to have you join us as we celebrate one of the most special moments of our lives—our wedding day. The ceremony will be a heartfelt expression of our love and commitment to one another, and we are beyond grateful to share it with the people who mean so much to us. The wedding ceremony will begin promptly at 4pm. Please allow yourself enough time to arrive and find your seat by this time to avoid delays. We recommend arriving at least 15-30 minutes prior to the beginning of the ceremony. In order to truly be present and fully experience the moment with us, we kindly ask that you keep your phones, cameras, and other devices away during the ceremony. We’ve decided to make our ceremony unplugged so we can focus on the joy of the occasion without distractions. Our professional photographer and videographer will be capturing all the beautiful moments, so please leave the photos and videos to them and enjoy the experience with us.

We look forward to celebrating with you and sharing this special culinary experience! Don't forget to bring your dance shoes. Shortly after the meal, the dance floor will be open for an exciting Ethiopian-American fusion experience you won't want to miss.
