FAQ

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

We kindly request you RSVP by February 28th.

Question

What time should we arrive for the ceremony?

Answer

Guests should plan to arrive at the Julia Morgan Ballroom by 1pm at the latest.

Question

I noticed there's a break between the ceremony and the cocktail hour?

Answer

The Hindu wedding ceremony will take approximately two hours during which light snacks will be served. After the ceremony there will be a break in the day to allow for family members (and whomever else!) to change clothes and take photos. Take the opportunity to take a break or take a stroll! San Francisco's Ferry Building is a quick 10 minute walk away or the Transamerica Pyramid is about a five minute walk, which has its own public half-acre redwood forest next to it. Festivities will resume with cocktail hour at 6pm at the Julia Morgan Ballroom.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

For both the Hindu ceremony and the reception, traditional Indian clothing or cocktail attire are requested. Some guests will wear traditional Indian clothing for the Hindu ceremony and then change to cocktail attire for the reception (which is what Aditya will do!), so there are many options if you wish to wear outfits from both cultures.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Parking is limited around the Julia Morgan Ballroom. With its location in downtown San Francisco, there are a variety of parking garages but street parking is very hard to find. There are good options to pre-purchase parking in the parking garages in the area using SpotHero (https://goo.gl/epVebP).

Question

Any suggestions for restaurants?

Answer

We love to eat out in SF! If you have some spare time, we highly recommend the following restaurants which are mostly within walking distance of the wedding site. Pizza: Tony's in North Beach. Italian: Sodini's Green Valley in North Beach. Mexican: Taqueria Cancun in the Mission or Green Chilli Kitchen in NOPA. Coffee: Philz Coffee (multiple locations in SF). Asian/Vietnamese: Slanted Door or Out the Door at the Ferry Building.

Question

What can I do if I have certain food allergies?

Answer

We’ll make our best attempt to accommodate any food allergies you have. We kindly request you mention any sensitivities on your RSVP. All food at the wedding will be lacto-ovo vegetarian.
