Schedule

Nontraditional Sangeet

6:00 pm - 10:00 pm

We hope you will join us on Friday night to kick off the weekend. Traditionally, in Indian weddings, the Sangeet is a pre-wedding celebration that brings friends and family together to dance, sing and anticipate the festivities to come. Our sangeet will be more of a welcome party with lots of food, drinks and a couple of performances from both the bride and groom's families. This event will be held at the historic Hippodrome Theater in Richmond’s Jackson Ward. First opened in 1914 at the heart of what was once known as the “Harlem of the South,” the Hippodrome has showcased legendary African-American performers, weathered fires and closures, and been lovingly restored into a performance and event space. You can read more about it at https://hippodromerichmond.com/about. The dress code is Indian Formal optional, or whatever you feel comfortable in!

Ceremony and Reception

5:00 pm - 11:00 pm

Cocktail Attire

Our wedding ceremony and reception will be held at Dover Hall. Completed in 2000, Dover Hall was originally built as a family estate house inspired by the English countryside. Converted in 2017 to an events space, Dover Hall has kept much of its original furnishings and charm. We fell in love with the architecture and spirit when we visited, and are so excited to have our wedding there. You can read more about Dover Hall here: https://www.doverhall.com/about As a note, the ceremony will be outside in Virginia in June. We encourage you to bring sunglasses and stay hydrated!
