Sangeet + Pizza Party: A sangeet is a vibrant and joyful pre-wedding celebration that originates from Indian culture. It's essentially a musical and dance-filled gathering where family and friends come together to celebrate the upcoming wedding. Thus, we would love for your to wear something bright, colorful and with an Indian flavour. Think lehengas, kurtas, sarees or something in between. For some inspiration, have a look at this: https://in.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=sangeet%20outfit%20ideas%20indo%20western&rs=typed If you have questions about where to source an Indian outfit, please reach out to Utsa. She can share some options for both Europe & UAE. Wedding + Reception Dinner: On the second day, the theme is Italian Chic. Think linen and pastels.

We understand that you may want to bring a special someone to share in our wedding celebration. We are truly grateful for your enthusiasm and the desire to include a plus one. However, to ensure that our wedding day remains intimate and within the capacity of our venue, each invitation has been carefully curated to specify exactly who is invited. Please check the RSVP section of this website to see who is included in your party. We kindly ask for your understanding in this matter as we would love to have you with us on this special day.
We adore all the little ones in our lives, but we have decided to make our wedding an adults-only affair. We hope you understand that this choice allows us to create an intimate and relaxed atmosphere for all our guests. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to celebrating this joyous occasion with you.
The need for a visa depends on your nationality. Please be sure to check what requirements are specified for your own nationality. Indian passport holders will need to apply for a Schengen Area visa through the Italian embassy or consulate. Be sure to do so well in advance to ensure you'll have your visa in time for your travels. If you will be travelling to and staying in more than one country in the Schengen Area, you will have to apply at the Embassy of the country that you will be entering first. This will be designated as your country of first entry. The UK is not part of the Schengen Area.
We are delighted to celebrate our special day with all of our cherished guests. To ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience, we have reserved a limited number of rooms at the venue itself for our wedding party. We truly wish we could accommodate everyone at the venue, but unfortunately, we are limited by the available space. If we have already reached out to you regarding a room at the venue, we are thrilled to have you with us. However, if you haven't received such communication, we regretfully inform you that the venue's capacity has been reached. Under the 'Travel' section you'll find a few suggestions. Please know that whether you stay at the venue or make arrangements nearby, your presence on our wedding day means the world to us. We can't wait to celebrate and share this joyous occasion with all of our guests, making beautiful memories together. Thank you for your understanding and support as we plan for this special day.
