Please let us know by April 29, 2026 (or sooner). If we don't hear from you, we'll assume you are toasting in spirit but won't be there in person!
Come ready for color, music, and food! You don’t need to know the traditions beforehand—we’ll have programs to guide you through the ceremony.
The Baarat starts at 3:30 PM and is the groom’s grand wedding procession — a vibrant parade of music, dance, family, and celebration as he makes his way to the ceremony venue. Everyone—regardless of which side you are on—is encouraged to join and dance along!
Yes! The Vidhi ends at 11:00 AM and the Baraat begins at 3:30 PM. We recommend checking out the local area or resting up at the hotel for the dance floor!
We’d love for you to lean into the vibrant spirit of our celebration! The brighter the colors, the better. If you’ve ever wanted to try a Saree, Lehenga, or Kurta, please do! Western formalwear (suits and colorful cocktail dresses) is perfectly appropriate, the brighter, the better! Though you might want to avoid wearing pure white or bright red. Most importantly, ensure you’re dressed for a festive night of dinner and serious dancing!
For those looking to wear traditional attire, we recommend sites like Lashkaraa or Pernia's Pop-Up Shop. Feel free to reach out to Priyanka or Daniel if you want some pointers or assistance. However, cocktail attire is perfectly fine!
We have reserved a room block at the Embassy Suites by Hilton St. Augustine Beach Oceanfront Resort. You can book your room using the link on the Travel page. If the block is full or you're looking for other options try the Hilton Garden Inn St. Augustine Beach (just a 5-minute walk) or other hotels nearby. We recommend booking as early as possible, as St. Augustine Beach is a popular destination and hotels fill up fast!
Valet parking is available at the Embassy Suites for a discounted rate of $15. When you arrive, please let the attendants know you are there for the Patel-Calhoun wedding to receive this rate. Note: The hotel only offers valet parking, so we recommend this option for the most convenient access to the festivities!
