Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
The Welcome Night event will include Mehndi and begins in the Vu Restaurant on the 2nd floor of the Hyatt Regency hotel at 6 PM on September 4th. The Baraat which is the groom's processional begins at the entrance to the hotel and continues onto the pier at 10AM on September 5th. The ceremony, which will be a traditional Hindu ceremony, will follow at 1030AM. Weather permitting this will be on the Riverside Terrace attached to the back of the hotel on the public pier. If the Rain god comes to join the festivities (teehee), then we will move the ceremony indoors to the Manhattan Ballroom. This will be followed by a Cocktail Hour and the Reception to immediately follow in the Hudson Ballroom beginning at 1:30PM.

Question
Can I bring a date?
Answer
When you RSVP to the events, you will see options for the number of guests you can bring. Unfortunately, due to social distancing restrictions from the Covid-19 pandemic, we are limited in the number of guests. The recommendations keep changing so things may be different by the actual wedding date, but for now we are doing our best to keep our loved ones safe and still include all of you in this momentous occasion.
