Question

What is an Indian wedding like?

Answer

An Indian wedding is a vibrant, multi-day celebration filled with color, music, dancing, and meaningful traditions. Each event has its own significance — from the Mehndi, where guests enjoy henna, music, and fun, to the Grah Shanti/Pithi, which focuses on blessings and rituals, to the wedding ceremony itself, which is rich with cultural rituals symbolizing love and commitment. The celebrations often continue with a lively reception or party, complete with music, dancing, and delicious food. Guests can expect a joyful, immersive experience that combines cultural traditions with festive fun!

Question

Is there a gift registry?

Answer

We’re so grateful for your love and support, and your presence at our wedding is truly the greatest gift. We kindly request no boxed or physical gifts. If you’d like, some guests have asked about giving a card or a small monetary gift, which is completely optional — your company and celebration with us is what matters most!

Question

Will there be vegetarian or dietary options?

Answer

Yes! We will have Swaminarayan-style vegetarian options available, along with other thoughtfully prepared dishes to ensure everyone can enjoy the meals. If you have any specific dietary restrictions or allergies, please let us know in advance so we can make accommodations.

Question

What is the best way to get around between hotels and the venue?

Answer

We will provide a shuttle to and from the Westin Hotel and Lucien’s Manor for your convenience. For guests staying at other hotels or traveling independently, carpooling with friends is a great option. As a last resort, ridesharing services like Uber or Lyft are available. We recommend planning your transportation in advance to make your travel as smooth as possible.

Question

Who can I contact if I have questions during the wedding weekend?

In addition, the on-site planners at Lucien’s Manor will also be available to assist during the events. You can reach out to either Ankit or the Lucien’s team for any questions to ensure everything goes smoothly and you can fully enjoy the celebrations!
