What is the dress code for the Indian wedding?
For Day 1, most of us will be wearing Indian outfits, but honestly, wear whatever you feel most comfortable in. If you have Indian clothing and want to wear it, please absolutely go for it. There are no “rules” here and definitely no judgement. This is a celebration, and we’re all just here to enjoy it together. And if you don’t own anything, please don’t feel any pressure to go out and buy something special. You’re not expected to, and you certainly don’t need to. If you do want to have a look at options, because when else will you get to wear Indian clothing, we’ve linked a few online places below that might be helpful.https://www.fabricoz.co.nz/

Dress code day 2?
Genuinely whatever makes you happy. Remember it's grass, so stilettos are not recommended. 

Can I bring my kids?
For sure. We remember how much fun it was going to weddings as kids. BUT, please do keep an eye on your children during the day. There’ll be lots going on: people, bottles, cars. And look, if your child tries to interrupt our first dance, I cannot guarantee I won't accidentally kick them.. (kidding...mostly).

Can I bring a plus one?
Yes, just make sure you RSVP for everyone coming. If there are any issues with numbers, we’ll be in touch.

Will you be feeding us, since we are there for multiple days?
Yes, of course. We’ll be putting on a simple continental breakfast on Friday and Saturday mornings (think cereals, yoghurt, and easy grab-and-go bits). Dinner will also be provided both nights. For lunch, we kindly ask that you sort yourselves out because we’ll be in full setup / wedding chaos mode at that point, and it gives everyone a bit of flexibility during the day as well. For those staying Saturday we will also be putting on a fry up brekkie Sunday morning to help with the hangovers.

What kind of food will there be?
Please tell us any dietary requirements ahead of time. The food will be Indian vegetarian on day 1 and a bbq style Kiwi dinner on day 2. 

What's the booze situation?
We (the bride and groom) won’t be drinking on Friday for cultural reasons, so we won’t be providing alcohol that evening. We will, however, have kava available for anyone interested in giving it a try. Saturday is a different story. We’ll be supplying both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, and fully encourage everyone to drink, dance, yarn, and carry on to their heart’s content.

Is there reception at the venue?
Unfortunately there is not. So please have your google maps ready loaded and anticipate a 15 minute drive up to get reception if needed.

What do I need to bring if I want to camp?
Everything you would take camping regularly, minus kitchen equipment. So please bring your own bedding, towels, power cables etc. The kitchen will be stocked with equipment so you don't need to worry about bringing that along.

Will you have an iron or steamer?
Yes, there will be multiple going around that you are welcome to use!

Is there somewhere for me to do my makeup?
Yes, the bathrooms have mirrors and we'll also setup a small dressing room area for people to use in rotation. However, mirrors are always in high demand so it wouldn't hurt to bring one of your own!

Photography
During the ceremony, we’d love for everyone to keep phones tucked away and simply be present with us in the moment. We’ve paid someone a concerning amount of money to capture all the important bits, so rest assured your iPhone can absolutely take the ceremony off. After that though? Go for your life. Photos, videos, blurry dance floor selfies and deeply unflattering candids are more than welcome. The only thing we ask is that you don’t post anything publicly before we do. Give us a tiny window to pretend we’re organised and get a few nice photos up first.

We've probably missed something!
So just reach out to either of us, or email us at [email protected]
