1:00 pm - 5:00 pm
South Asian festive or party attire
**Please note location and time change** To better accommodate our guests, we decided to change to an outdoor, covered pavilion at a local park. It will be family-friendly, as the pavilion is right next to a playground, pony rides, and the Bergen County Zoo. Please join us for a festive and joyful Bengali tradition of Gaye Holud at Van Saun County Park Pavilion C. Guests will get to show affection to the bride and groom by feeding them sweets and applying turmeric paste. A henna artist will be available from 2 to 5PM to do mehendi art for guests. There will be light bites available. Please feel free to drop in at any time during the event. Please note this is an outdoor event, so while bright festive wear is encouraged, we encourage all our guests to wear what is most comfortable for them.
3:00 pm - 8:00 pm
South Asian formal or Western formal (suit and tie, long gown). Wear what makes you comfortable.
Join us for a brief lakefront ceremony where we will exchange vows with beautiful fall foliage in the background. Then enjoy a ballroom reception with a deck and views overlooking the lake and natural scenery. We will have a cocktail hour with Bengali street food and snacks followed by a buffet style dinner and desserts consisting of the most scrumptious Bengali wedding foods. Please reach out directly to us with any dietary concerns or restrictions.
