Invitation & RSVP
Attendance & Guest Questions
We would love nothing more than to celebrate with everyone, but due to our venue's capacity we are only able to accommodate guests who have received a formal invitation. We appreciate your understanding and are so grateful to have you there.
Life happens — we completely understand! If something changes, please let Yagnika or Rohan know as soon as possible and we'll take care of updating your RSVP. The sooner we know, the better we can plan for everyone.

Ceremony & Culture
Traditions & What to Expect
Our wedding ceremony will be a beautiful and traditional Hindu-Gujarati ceremony, honouring the rich faiths and cultural heritage of both Yagnika and Rohan's families. Expect vibrant colours, sacred rituals, ancient Sanskrit prayers, and a whole lot of love. If you're experiencing a Hindu wedding for the first time, you're in for a truly magical and unforgettable celebration.
Please refer to the Schedule section of our website for the start times of each event. We kindly ask that all guests arrive at least 15 minutes before each event's start time so you can get settled, find your seat, and enjoy the atmosphere as the celebrations begin. Indian weddings are full of energy from the very first moment — you won't want to miss a thing!
We would love for our guests to dress to impress! Each event has its own colour theme and dress code — please refer to the Attire Guide on our main website for full details. In general, we encourage beautiful Indian or Western formal wear. The more colour and glamour, the better — this is a celebration!

Gifts
Registry & Gifting
Your presence at our wedding is truly the greatest gift we could ever ask for — no registry, no expectations, just you. That said, for those who have asked and would like to celebrate us with something more, we would be deeply touched by a contribution toward our adventures ahead. A link will be available shortly for those who wish to do so — but please know, it is never expected and always appreciated. 💛
