Flight
Buffalo has one airport and one terminal - easy to navigate and travel to and from! The airport is a 17 minute drive to the venue, and a 16 minute drive to the Aloft Buffalo Downtown. Ubers, Lyfts, and cabs are plentiful and affordable.
Train
We've taken Amtrak to and from Buffalo, NYC, Boston, Philadelphia, and DC many times. For NYC to Buffalo, it is a longer journey, but is scenic and requires no checked bags or airport hassle. Highly recommend! P.S. it is not worth it to pay for business class/an upgrade IMO, unless you want to travel on an Acela train (all seating assigned, faster train) - Emily

The Indian wedding celebrations will take place in Bengaluru (Bangalore/BLR), India. The main wedding events are on June 20th & 21st at PM Kalyana Mantapa. These are considered the main ceremonies in South Indian Hindu-Brahmin traditions, and we’re excited to have you join us for them! Pre-wedding celebrations will take place on June 18th & 19th at home. These events are more casual and do not require all attendees to participate. We ask you confirm/RSVP for the Indian Wedding celebrations by February 28th, 2026 so we can be ready to welcome you!
