* The Ceremony will be a silent Hindu ceremony. In these ceremonies, all guests are seated quietly throughout the Hindu rituals and the priest will explain each part in English and engage you throughout. Historically, Indian weddings typically invited between 700 to 1000 guests. The main families would observe a 2-3 hour ceremony in which the priest primarily addressed the couple and their parents. With so many attendees and a long ceremony, most guests remained uninvolved, leading to lots of socialising while the ceremony continued in the background. The trend of silent weddings ensures everyone feels part of the experience.

During the Ceremony, there will be games outside and a quiet room away from the main space to use as needed. Soft drinks will be available and you are welcome to come and go, quietly.
