Can I bring a guest?
We're so excited to celebrate this special day surrounded by our closest family and friends. As we're keeping it intimate, only those formally invited on your wedding invitation can be accommodated. If you have a plus one, it will be noted on your invitation and when you RSVP.
Can I take photos during the ceremony?
We kindly ask guests to refrain from taking photos during the ceremony so everyone can be fully present and our pictures can be phone/ camera free.
What time should I arrive?
We recommend arriving 15–20 minutes before the ceremony start time or reception time depending on your invitation. The service will start promptly on time.
Will there be any cultural traditions we should be aware of?
Our wedding will include elements from American, Indian, and Russian traditions. Guests are welcome to simply relax and enjoy the celebration, and any moments or traditions that require special attention will be clearly announced throughout the event.
Is there a set schedule? If I arrive later in the evening or step away, is that okay?
Some guests may be joining us for only part of the celebration, depending on their invitation. We ask that you arrive at the time given on your invitation/RSVP. If you are arriving or returning while an event is already in progress, we kindly ask that you do so quietly and respectfully, and wait for guidance from our coordinator or ushers before entering or being seated.
Is parking available at the venue?
Yes, parking will be available at the venue upon arrival. Guests are also welcome to use rideshare services such as Uber or Lyft.

Yes. Hors d’oeuvres and refreshments will be served before the reception, followed by a seated dinner with assigned seating for all guests.
What kind of food will be served at the reception?
Dinner at the reception will include a mix of Indian, Russian and American cuisine, so guests can enjoy a variety of dishes throughout the evening.
Can dietary restrictions be accommodated?
Please let us know of any dietary restrictions when you RSVP, and we will do our best to accommodate them.
Will the ceremony and reception be indoors or outdoors?
The ceremony will be held in an air-conditioned chapel. The reception will take place in an air-conditioned tent. As the reception will be held on grass without flooring, we recommend considering footwear accordingly, particularly opting for wider heels rather than stilettos.
