FAQs

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

Absolutely! We welcome all of the little lights of your eye. Please let us know when you RSVP if they are attending so we can accommodate them to the best of our abilities.

Question

Are dogs or other pets allowed?

Answer

Sadly, they are not. We have to leave our Muffin in trusted hands as well, so we understand your disappointment.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

For the ceremony and reception, either Indian Formal or Western black tie is acceptable. For those feeling particularly ambitious, changing outfits during the cocktail hour in your room from one to the other is acceptable but not necessary.

Question

Where can I find Indian Formal wear?

Answer

For those in the DMV area, Ruby's Collection has a good variety if you would like to peruse it in person: https://www.rubyscollection.org/. For those who are further afield or comfortable ordering online, we've had a great experience with the shops on Oak Tree Road in NJ; Sajda, Nazranaa, Khajana, and Manyavar are just a few options.

Question

How do we book specific types of rooms

Answer

When you book your room(s) using the link provided, you may request specific accommodations (2 Queens, King, connecting rooms, etc.) in the additional details section towards the end of the booking process. If you need more than one room, you can also book them on the hotel reservation site; just enter the number of rooms and the number of guests per room you'll need.

Question

Will there be vegetarian and/or allergy friendly food options?

Answer

Yes! We've worked hard with our caterer to accommodate as many dietary needs as possible. All offerings will have labels with the most common food allergens and if they are vegetarian.

Question

What colors should I not wear?

Answer

Please feel free to let your color imaginations run wild. Hindu weddings are known for their colors, so dress to impress!

Question

Who should I contact if I have questions?

Answer

Until the week of the wedding, please feel free to reach out to either of us with your questions; we will attempt to address them promptly. During the week of the wedding, we ask you to reach out to our wedding coordinator, Laura Kim. Her contact will be posted on the website at a later date.

Question

How can I learn more about Hindu weddings?

Answer

There are many online resources where you can learn more about Hindu weddings, though this wedding will blend the traditional and modern. Alternatively, Gaurav accepts drinks in return for his elucidation of the subject.

Question

What is the meaning to life?

Answer

That is a fascinating question, and we encourage you to ask it of as many people as possible during the reception's closing hour, when everyone is at their very best.
