What to Expect at an Indian Wedding (YouTube)

Because of limited venue space, we unfortunately cannot accommodate plus-ones beyond those named on the wedding invitation. Thank you for understanding!

The easiest way to get from the Florance airport to the venue is via a personal vehicle. Feel free to share a car with your group. There will be parking available at the venue and all accommodations. Additionally, transportation from the accommodations will be provided to and from scheduled events.

We have reserved space on multiple properties, all within 10 minutes of the venue, to accommodate every guest. Ajay and Michael will be reaching out with more information regarding booking and payment. Please see the Travel and Accommodations page for more information.

Michael is a teacher and Ajay is an aspiring pediatric ENT. Yes, your children are welcome.

Not at all! We’ve listed options for the western equivalent dress code with each event. The most important thing for us is that you feel comfortable in what you’re wearing.

For feminine options, there are many retailers that ship directly to the US in various price ranges. We’ve included some keywords for each event to help your search. 

• For the sangeet: sharara suits, palazzo suits, jumpsuits, lehenga sets with light/prints or mirror work

• For the wedding ceremony: salwar kameez sets (AKA suit and dupatta, churidar) or a simple saree. If you don’t know how to tie a saree, we suggest “pre-draped” or “easy-drape” or “ready to wear” sarees.

• For the reception: consider more grand/embroidered/bead work lehengas, pre-draped sarees, indo-western gowns
