Travel
Parking is available at the hotel and at both venues. In addition, we'll be providing a shuttle service to the Mehndi and to the Reception — for those who want to let their hair down and boogie.
Practical bits
Questions, answered.
-
01 Can I bring a plus-one?
Your invitation will name the people we can't celebrate without. If you're not sure, ask us — we'd rather have the conversation than the awkward Sunday.
-
02 What's the dress code?
Each event has a note above. Short version: lean into colour for the day functions, jewel tones for Mehndi, traditional formal for the ceremony, black tie for the reception.
-
03 Will the ceremony have translation?
Yes — the priest will provide a full translation throughout the events, so non-Gujarati speakers can follow every ritual as it happens.
-
04 Gifts?
Your presence is the gift we asked for. If you'd still like to mark the day, a note from you will mean more than anything wrapped.
