We love your little ones and are excited to have them join us for the Haldi and Sangeet! For the Wedding Ceremony, we kindly ask that it remain an adults-only event to help us create an intimate atmosphere.
However, we will have a supervised play area nearby for children under 13, so they’ll be close and well cared for while you enjoy the ceremony.
We’re not registered (on purpose), and with a destination wedding,
we’re traveling light in every way.
Your love and presence are truly more than enough.
Help us honor the planet—no gifts or cash, just your company!
