Sangeet

“Sangeet” translates to music. This event is a dance party, and truly the kick-off to an Indian wedding! There will be a show of choreographed dances in which we’ll be asking some of our friends and family to dance. We’ll take some time for speeches in-between. Afterwards the drinks and moves will be flowing. We can’t wait to hit the dance floor with all of you!

Baraat
3:00pm to 4:30pm
The Baraat is the grooms wedding procession that historically is meant to inform the bride that the groom has arrived. While there’s no religious significance to this event, it’s a way to ensure that we will happily enter our wedding with our beloved family and friends by our side.
There will be live music and dancing as we bring Vik to the Mandap (wedding altar).
You can read more about the Baraat HERE.
Venue: The Morgan Resort & Spa, Simpson Bay, Dutch Side

There will be time for sunset photos followed by a formal reception and dinner. The end of the night will signify the end of our wedding festivities.
