Question

I have never been to an Indian wedding. What should I expect?

Answer

Lots of food & colorful, elaborate outfits! Bring your dancing shoes, you're in for a great experience! Wedding starts with early morning with groom's baraat (see below), followed up the ceremony under a mandap. The provided programs will outline the details of key points of the ceremony and its significance.

Question

What is a "baraat"?

Answer

Baraat is referring to the groom's arrival, which kicks off the celebrations! Groom makes a grand entry with family & friends dancing along the way. Bride's mother waits for their arrival to give a warm welcome. We encourage both families and friends to join the baraat! More the merrier!

Question

Why is there a break after the ceremony lunch?

Answer

This is standard Gujarati/Hindu wedding timeline. There will be a multi-hour break in the afternoon following the ceremony + lunch. Enjoy the beach (groom's preferred option), use resort amenities like kayaks, bikes, spa, etc or take a nap (bride's preferred option) then get ready in your evening outfits for cocktail hour and reception in the evening.

Question

Is there parking for the wedding events?

Answer

Parking is available at the venue/hotel for guests staying at the hotel. Hotel guests will be able to valet park (in/out). For off-site guests, there are public garages/lots nearby. Closest one is about .2 mile walk. Parking is not available at the resort for off-site guests. We encourage carpooling as October is peak season for the area. Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) is also an option.
