Question
How are we celebrating both the Catholic, Western & Hindu, Bengali cultures?
Answer
We're SO excited to bring our families and friends together in a blend of the things we love the most about our traditions & culture. Our wedding day will include a Catholic marriage ceremony followed by traditional Hindu marriage celebrations. We hope you will join us for both and can experience the unique blend of traditions! Most importantly, of course, get ready to dance at the reception, which will include both traditional Western jams + Bollywood classics!
Question
Will there be a shuttle transport to and from the hotel?
Answer
Yes! On the wedding day, there will be a shuttle that can take guests from the hotel to the church, and again from the hotel to the Hindu celebration / reception venue. If you prefer to drive, there will be plenty of parking at both locations!
Question
How are we planning for Covid precautions?
Answer
We'll be personally administering vaccines to all guests....just kidding :) We are optimistic that by the end of September, most - if not all - of our friends & family will have had an opportunity to be vaccinated. In the event that vaccinations aren't widely available in the months preceding our wedding, we'll re-evaluate the size to ensure the safety of all of our loved ones. We will be sure to communicate early and often if the events change, but we are so hopeful that we'll be able to celebrate our special day with all of you!
