As much as we wish we could predict the future, we will not know what the state of our world will be in July 2022 regarding safety requirements (whether from state or venue). However, we will continue to keep you updated here as things change moving forward. If you have any questions other than what we’ve listed below, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

YOUR PRESENCE IS THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL!

However, should you wish to give a gift as well, funding towards our honeymoon and future home would be greatly appreciated! If you are attending the wedding, you can avoid any fees by giving a monetary gift on the day of the wedding! There is also a registry tab on our website if you'd like to send a physical gift.

DO I NEED TO GIVE A GIFT BOTH DAYS?

If attending both Saturday and Sunday events, you only need to give a gift for one of the two wedding days (i.e. if you know the bride and were invited by that side, you can give your gift Sunday only and vice versa). It is optional to give a small gift for the second event. Thank you!

WHAT IS THE ATTIRE REQUESTED FOR BOTH DAYS?

We ask that guests wear Black Tie Optional aka Formal attire for both Saturday and Sunday. It is recommended that Saturday attire for women be more bright and colorful to match the vibrant themes of an Indian style Gujarati wedding. The bride will be wearing red/hot pink in the morning ceremony so we recommend that women do not wear red/hot pink. Since Saturday has separate morning and evening events, it is recommended but not required to wear two different outfits, one for each event. Same dress attire applies. Definition of Black Tie Optional aka Formal: Women options = floor-length gown or fancy cocktail dress. More acceptable to wear a dress that shows the ankles. Men options = tuxedo or a formal suit, shirt, and tie. If you’d like to wear Indian style wedding attire Saturday: https://www.utsavfashion.com/?ds_rl=1274003&ds_rl=1274003&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIlYXalq2U9QIV7suGCh2tBAopEAAYASAAEgL2i_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

WHICH AIRPORT SHOULD I FLY INTO?

Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) is the closest commercial airport to our venues (~15min)! Other options to consider include Miami International Airport (MIA, ~50min) or Palm Beach International Airport (PBI, ~1hr).

IS THERE A ROOM BLOCK?

We were only able to reserve 30 rooms at the Marriott Harbor Beach Resort. The room block nights are 7/15-7/18 and start at $229+/night. Parking is a discounted $15/night. Please go to the “Travel” tab to book using the website. Guests invited by Viral’s family, please contact him for details about the room block at the Westin Ft Lauderdale Beach Resort.

WILL THERE BE A SHUTTLE SERVICE TO THE VENUES?

There will be shuttle transportation to and from the Westin and Marriott Harbor Beach on Saturday and Sunday. If you are not staying at one of those hotels, we recommend carpooling or using Uber/Lyft to get to the venue! If driving: Saturday - free parking. Sunday - discounted parking rate of $10

WHAT TYPE OF WEATHER SHOULD WE EXPECT IN JULY IN SOUTH FLORIDA?

HOT HOT HOT! Expect a high of about 90F and low of 76F. Perfect beach weather but not for an outdoor wedding, which is why our wedding will thankfully be held indoors! Afternoon storms are typical of Florida summers but they go as quickly as them come!

ARE THE EVENTS INDOOR OR OUTDOOR?

Saturday will have a very brief period outdoors (~15-30 minutes). Sunday will be all indoors. No need to worry about sweating in Florida summer sun!
