Here's what to expect during the wedding weekend!

Thursday, April 23, 2026

Pool Party

2:30 pm - 5:30 pm

Join us for a casual pool day to kick off the wedding weekend! We’ll be hanging out at one of the resort pools (exact location TBD) for anyone who wants to relax, swim, or soak up some sun before the official festivities start. After the pool party, feel free to grab dinner at one of the many restaurants on site (we recommend making reservations) and independently explore the resort.

Haldi and Vidhi

8:45 am - 12:00 pm

Bugambilias Gazebo - Nizuc

Come ready to celebrate and maybe get a little turmeric on you! The Haldi ceremony is a joyful tradition meant to bless us with good luck, happiness, and a radiant wedding-day glow. Lunch will be provided throughout the ceremony in the outdoor terrace next to the gazebo. The gazebo itself is air-conditioned and shaded. Below are a few of the traditions involved in this event: Ganesh Puja: This is a prayer to Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles, to ensure a smooth and successful wedding and marriage. Grah Shanti: This is a traditional home blessing ceremony where our families come together to offer prayers for peace, prosperity, and harmony as we begin our new life together. Haldi: This is a tradition where family and friends apply turmeric paste to the bride and groom. Turmeric is considered auspicious in Indian culture and is believed to ward off negative energy and bring blessings. The yellow color symbolizes prosperity, purity, and new beginnings.

Sangeet

5:45 pm - 10:00 pm

Chapel Garden - Nizuc

This event is an outdoor event in a garden next to the beach. The grass might be soft, so I would rethink stilettos.

The Sangeet is a fun night filled with music and dancing. Our family will be also be performing dances to kick off the night. Come ready to eat, drink, and dance the night away! After the Sangeet, you are welcome to keep the party going at the resort nightclub.
