Question

When should I arrive?

Answer

If you'd like to attend the baraat, please arrive at 3 PM. Otherwise, the wedding ceremony will begin at 4 PM.

Question

What should I know about the ceremony?

Answer

Indian wedding ceremonies can be a bit longer than Western ones (often 1–2 hours). As the ceremony is outdoors, we will provide seating, shade, and light refreshments so you’re comfortable. The ceremony will include traditional rituals, primarily in Sanskrit (with explanations in English), so everyone can follow along. We request that guests refrain from taking photos and videos during the ceremony so that everyone can be fully present and give their blessings to the couple!

Question

Can I change my clothes between the ceremony and reception?

Answer

Guests are welcome to stay in their ceremony attire for the entire celebration as the cocktail hour and reception will immediately follow the wedding ceremony. While the venue has limited space available for changing, guests are welcome to return to their hotel if they would prefer to change outfits before the reception.

Question

What kind of food/drinks will be served?

Answer

Both Indian and Hispanic dishes (vegetarian and non-vegetarian) will be served buffet-style. Due to religious nature of the ceremony, alcohol will not be served until the cocktail hour and reception.

Question

Parking & transportation?

Answer

Yes, complimentary self-parking is available on-site for all guests. Transportation will not be provided to or from the venue, so consider carpooling or ride share options!
