FAQs

Question

When is the RSVP deadline?

Answer

Please let us know as soon as possible so we can plan accordingly.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Our ceremony will be held outdoors with a garden theme, so feel free to dress in light, festive, and colorful attire - think florals, pastels, and soft tones. We kindly ask that you avoid wearing white, to keep that special for the bride. For the reception, the bride, groom, and wedding party will be changing into traditional Indian attire. Guests are welcome to join in, but its completely optional. Please keep in mind that the ceremony and reception will be on grass, so we recommend avoiding heels or wearing wedges/block heels to stay comfortable. Come dressed in whatever makes you feel comfortable and ready to celebrate!

Question

Which airport should I fly to?

Answer

O'Hare (ORD) airport is closest to the venue, and has a lot of public transportation options, as well as rental cars. Midway (MDW) is another option, which is closer to the city, if you are planning on staying in the city for the weekend.

Question

Is transportation available? Is there parking at the venue?

Answer

We can only fit around 10-15 cars at the venue. We will need to plan and reserve all parking spots at the venue, and help plan rides for everyone else to arrive at the venue. There are trains that run from Chicago to Harvard, as well as busses for around Harvard. It would be best to park in Harvard, then we can arrange some guests to pick you up from Harvard and drive to the venue. Please communicate with us so we can help plan everyone's travel to and from the venue. We appreciate your patience and understanding!

Question

Can I bring my kids with me to the wedding?

Answer

Due to space limitations, we kindly request that our wedding be an adults only occasion. We truly wish we could invite everyone, but we hope you can understand and respect our decision as we're working with a very limited guest count. Thank you for your support and understanding!

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

Due to space limitations, we are only able to accommodate the guests whose names are mentioned on the invitation envelopes. We truly wish we could invite everyone, but we hope you can understand and respect our decision as we're working with a very limited guest count. Thank you for your support and understanding!

Question

Are there hotel blocks?

Answer

We will be housing the wedding party and immediate family only. However, the Baymont by Wyndham Hotel in Harvard is a 5 minute drive to the venue.

Question

What time should we arrive?

Answer

The ceremony will start at 1:00pm, so please plan to arrive by 12:00pm so we can work out parking and get everyone seated.

Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

Summers in Harvard are fairly moderate, we expect a sunny 70°, likely with some wind, though there is always the possibility of some rain. If there is rain, we will provide tents for cover.
