BREAKFAST  is available from 7:30 AM to 9:30 AM in the Monte Carlo Room of the Chateau Elan Winery Resort.

The Haldi ceremony is a beloved tradition observed in many Indian cultures, typically held a day or two before the wedding. At its heart, it’s a joyful and symbolic ritual where a paste made from turmeric and other natural ingredients is gently applied to the bride and groom’s face, hands, and feet. This practice is said to purify, protect, and bless the couple as they prepare to begin their new life together.

What begins as a calm, meaningful ritual quickly blossoms into a vibrant celebration. With family and friends gathered close, the ceremony often transforms into a spirited, Holi-like festival of turmeric—filled with music, laughter, and bursts of golden color.
Guests are not only welcome but encouraged to join in the festivities. Whether it’s dancing, singing, or getting playfully smeared with turmeric, the Haldi ceremony is all about embracing the moment, celebrating love, and making unforgettable memories together. Come ready to participate—and maybe get a little messy!

The Sangeet is where the celebration truly begins! This joyful evening brings together family and friends from both sides to honor the happiness surrounding the couple and to kick off the wedding festivities in style. It’s a night filled with laughter, music, and dancing—an opportunity to create lasting memories as two families come together.

One of the highlights of the evening is the series of dance performances, thoughtfully choreographed by loved ones. These performances are not only a fun way to celebrate, but they also help deepen the bond between the families and the couple. Watching friends and relatives come together through music and movement is a beautiful reminder of the support and love surrounding the bride and groom.

Beyond the performances, the Sangeet is a chance for everyone to relax, enjoy great food, and soak in the festive atmosphere. Whether you’re catching up with old friends or meeting new faces, this evening offers the perfect blend of celebration and connection. We look forward to sharing this special night with you and making unforgettable memories together.

BREAKFAST is available from 7:30 AM to 9:30 AM in the Monte Carlo Room of the Chateau Elan Winery Resort.
