The venue is located in the Morton Arboretum at
Thornhill Education Center, Glen Ellyn, IL 60137
Please navigate to the arboretum entrance on Ginkgo Way using Google Maps, which works better than Apple Maps. Tell the attendee our names and they will direct you to parking lot #21.
This is an alcohol-free wedding but we'll have plenty of non-alcoholic drinks to keep you refreshed!
The menu is Indian with a range of spice levels to accomodate everyone. If you have any food restrictions beyond vegetarian, please indicate it in your RSVP.
Your presence is a gift! We're just excited to see you and we already have everything we need!
शुभ विवाह (Shubh Vivah) directly translates to "Happy Marriage". But the meaning goes well beyond just that. It's the wish for an auspicious beginning of a lifetime together. Most Marathi wedding invitations have this blessing as invitations are the first "ceremony" of the full sequence of wedding celebrations.
Everything is welcome! Weather permitting, chai hour, dancing, and ceremony will be outside. Many guests will be in traditional South Asian clothing or daytime cocktail attire. Every color is welcome!
We're having a professional photographer but would love to see all the photos and videos you took!
We will have heavy snacks, chai, coffee, and tea available starting at 10am with lunch following the ceremony. No need for breakfast!
July in Illinois is usually hot and humid! Fingers crossed for a slightly less hot and slightly less humid day.
