Schedule

Mehendi Party

6:00 pm - 10:00 pm

We encourage you to wear something green - Desi or Western are both okay.

This is an evening of introductions and henna tattoos. This will also be a chance for folks to practice their sangeet dances in person. There will be music and refreshments. While traditionally only women get henna tattoos, it's 2024 and we encourage the men to also indulge in getting something small... or big! It only lasts a few days anyways.

Jewish Ceremony

12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

This is a (semi) traditional Jewish wedding ceremony. It will be followed by lunch and a cocktail hour (or several) preceding the Sangeet. The venue has a combination of grass and concrete. Considering all the dancing to come that night, we recommend you wear comfortable shoes.

Hindu Lagna

8:00 am - 2:00 pm

Traditional Indian clothes preferred

The Hindu wedding ceremony, lagna or maduve, is an amalgamation of many individual sacred events. We have been given a muhurtha, or auspicious time, of 9:30 am. This means that events will probably start around 7:30-8 am. The main portion of the Hindu ceremony will take place around 9:30 am. We expect the ceremony to end around noon. There will be a South Indian breakfast served during the ceremony. Following the ceremony, there will be a traditional Brahmin lunch served on a banana leaf. There will be a few hours break before the reception starts, so you have the option to change outfits before it. The venue has a few changing rooms, but there should be enough time for you to go back to the hotel, take a nap, and get ready there. A traditional Brahmin ceremony would have all the events described here: https://www.panigrahana.com/post/hindu-brahmin-wedding However as you may or may not know, we don't exactly fit the mold of a "traditional" couple lol
