The raised stage where the ceremony takes place, visible from every table.
The separate room where the couple honours parents and elder family members.
The bridal suite where the couple prepares before the mandap ceremony.
The reception foyer where guests gather before the ceremony begins.
“The raised mandap stage in the centre meant my grandmother could see everything from her table without standing up. At other halls we looked at, the stage was always tucked into a corner.”
“The tea ceremony room next to the main hall gave us a calm moment to honour my parents, without the noise of two hundred guests right beside us. Ravi had the schedule timed perfectly.”
“The dhol drums echoed just right on that dance floor, nothing distorted or too loud. We had 260 guests and the hall never felt too full or too empty.”
“Father of the bride. Ravi himself speaks Sarnami, which made discussions with my in-laws much easier than at halls where everything had to go through an intermediary.”
