Wedding Reception

5:00 pm - 10:15 pm

The Addison Park
150 New Jersey 35, Keyport, NJ 07735

Dress Code: This is a formal evening celebration, The event is sophisticated, so think black-tie formal! Pakistani guests can opt for traditional South Asian formal wear in more muted colors than typical Mehendi attire. Non-Pakistani guests are welcome to wear formal dresses, gowns, or suits.

The wedding reception marks the grand finale of our traditional Pakistani celebrations, an elegant evening filled with cherished customs and joyful moments. Guests will enjoy a lavish feast of Pakistani cuisine while witnessing heartfelt speeches from loved ones and celebrating with music and dance. Keep an eye out for the playful joota chupai tradition, where the bride's side attempts to steal and hide the groom's shoes, only returning them in exchange for a negotiated reward! The evening culminates in the rukhsati—"the giving away of the bride" in Western colors. It is a deeply moving tradition where the bride bids farewell to her family, marking her transition to married life with prayers and blessings. This emotional ceremony honors the love between parent and child while celebrating the beginning of a new chapter.
