Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Sangeet?
Sangeet – This ceremony is observed during the evening a day or two prior to the wedding. Both the bride’s and the groom’s family come together at a common venue and perform songs and dance routines, especially traditional Dandiya, Garba and Bhangra dances. The ritual presents an informal setting for the two families to get to know each other well.
Please try not wear uncomfortable shoes to this event – we want to dance with you 🙂
What is the Dress Code for the Sangeet?
We prefer Indian attire for the Sangeet. If you do not have an Indian outfit, feel free to wear what you like, as long as it’s a little formal and you can dance in it 🙂
What is a Baraat?
Baraat – The wedding procession that starts from the groom’s house and ends at the bride’s. However, since the groom lives too far from the bride, we will start ours in the parking lot of The Marigold and end at the entrance of the wedding hall.
The groom will arrive on a horse, along with his relatives, who will walk with him while dancing to live music and a band.
The bride’s mother and sister will then welcome the groom’s family at the entrance.
I’ve never been to an Indian Wedding. What should I wear?
An Indian wedding ceremony is a festive occasion, so colorful outfits are welcome! A Sangeet is also a colorful event, so colorful Indian outfits are preferred.
The wedding is more formal and the couple will be wearing heavier Indian outfits.
Just pick something you love and can dance in! If you’re looking for a more detailed answer, just ask the bride – she loves talking about clothes!
