Sangeet – This ceremony is observed during the evening a day or two prior to the wedding. Both the bride’s and the groom’s family come together at a common venue and enjoy music, song, and dance with each other. The ritual presents an informal setting for the two families to get to know each other well, and just as importantly, another reason to eat and drink. Dinner will be served. There will be Henna artists.

Baraat - The wedding procession that starts from the groom's house and ends at the bride's. However, since the groom lives too far from the bride, we will start ours at the gateway entrance to Legacy Castle at 9:00 AM. In the event of inclement weather, the Baraat will take place at the Porte-cochère at the doors to Legacy Castle. Shuttles will depart for Legacy Castle from the Hampton Inn & Suites Fairfield at 8:45 AM sharp. The groom will arrive on a horse (or a different ride of his choosing), along with his relatives and friends, who will walk with him while dancing to live music. The bride's mother and sister will then welcome the groom's family at the entrance.
