A Multi-
Day Sikh Celebration

SVETAK & SIMRANN at The Hartwood

Simrann and Svetak have been friends for more than ten years, and their wedding brought 250 of their people together across three days. It began with a dhol-filled baraat outside the gurdwara in Durham, a Milni led by both mothers and grandmothers, and Simrann's parents handing her the palla together before the four sacred laavan. That evening at The Hartwood, the pastel palette gave way to dhol entrances, a fog-machine first dance, and a dance floor that didn't slow down until the send-off.
