Welcome Cocktail & Mehendi

7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Event Details: A welcome party to get to know each other & kick off the weekend! Mehendi (henna) artists will be available from 7pm-9pm to do quick designs on anybody who would like. Drinks and light appetizers will be served from 8pm - 9pm. This will not be a full dinner, so please plan to eat at one of the resort's restaurants before or after!

Attire Suggestions: For this event, think Beach Club Party! Ideas for women: florals, sundresses, rompers. Ideas for men: khakis, polos, floral shirts. However, this event is a rather-casual welcome party, so please do not stress too much! For anybody who plans on getting mehendi (henna) done on your hands, keep that in mind as well.

Sangeet

7:00 pm - 11:00 pm

Event Details: Welcome to a night of song & dance! A fun, Indian tradition, the Sangeet will feature dance performances from the bride & groom, family, and close friends, then the dance floor will open up to everybody. This is less formal than a Reception, so just come ready to have fun! We will have a Mexican buffet dinner (with vegetarian options) and open bar.

Attire Suggestions: If you have Indian attire, this is a great time to wear it! If not, semi-formal. Ideas for women: cocktail dresses of any length, elegant jumpsuits. Ideas for men: dress shirts and slacks/khakis (no blazers/ties needed).

Baraat

9:30 am - 10:15 am

Event Details: The groom's grand entrance! Please join Justin and his family in dancing through the garden to travel to the ceremony location. Get ready for some salsa & bachata! While this event was traditionally only for the groom's side to travel from their city to the bride's, we won't tell if the bride's side joins in the festivities!

Attire Suggestions: If you have Indian attire, this is a great time to wear it! If not, dress formally for this event as it transitions right into the ceremony. For women: long, formal dresses or similar. For men: dress shirts & slacks (blazers not required due to potential heat).
