FAQs
Question
When should I arrive to the Bay Area?
Answer
If your schedule allows it, we recommend arriving on Wednesday or Thursday! This gives you time to settle in, explore and be well rested for the big day! If that's not possible, we recommend arriving by Friday afternoon at the latest.
Question
Will I need a car?
Answer
We will be providing shuttle transportation to and from the Grand Bay Hotel and the San Jose Gurdwara the morning before and after the Sikh Ceremony so no need to rent a car for that!
Question
The day is a bit of a marathon, I don't know if I can hang!
Answer
We totally understand! If you think you can only attend one of the two ceremonies, please RSVP accordingly! We also have a break between the morning and the afternoon ceremonies for a siesta and some downtime.
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
We recommend wearing two outfits for the day! - For the morning Sikh Ceremony, a Salwar Kamiz is a great choice! You'll have to cover your head inside the gurdwara so something with a dupatta and that is more conservative is ideal! - For the Hindu Ceremony and Reception, where anything you like that is wedding appropriate! Don't forget to check the weather and bring a shawl or sweater if it's a cooler day!
Question
Where should I stay?
Answer
We recommend booking your stay at the Grand Bay Hotel from at least Friday to Saturday! This ensures you’ll have access to the shuttle, be on-site for rest and reset time, and have your room nearby if you’d like to turn in early. Feel free to extend your stay if it works better with your travel plans! Our room block can be found on the TRAVEL tab, by clicking VIEW. If you don’t see those dates available in the room block, just let us know via text and we'll work to get them added!
