What should I expect at the Sangeet & Mehndi?

Answer

We've combined our Sangeet & Mehndi into one fabulous evening. Mehndi is a traditional event that ensures guests feel fabulous and festive for the upcoming wedding weekend. Mehndi (commonly referred to as henna) is a plant paste applied in intricate designs. The Sangeet is where the party starts! Whether you’re doing a choreographed number or joining us on the open dance floor at the end of the night, expect a festive, energy-filled evening to mingle and dance the night away. Tip: Don’t wear rings/bracelets on the hands you’d like to get mehndi done on.
