Dear Family and Friends,

We are so excited to celebrate our wedding weekend with you and welcome you to Chiltern, Australia.

We’ve created this website to collect RSVPs and share all the details of our special occasion. We hope as many of you as possible can join us for this memorable weekend!

​

Here, you’ll find tips on accommodation, local activities, dress codes, and more. To confirm your attendance, please click the “RSVP” button and submit your response by Friday 31 January 2025.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out—we can’t wait to see you!

In November 2021, Pri and Bill had a chance encounter that would forever change their lives. Despite coming from different worlds, their differences brought them closer. Pri’s radiant smile and boundless enthusiasm charmed Bill, while Bill’s patience and kindness won Pri over.

A shared love of exploring new cultures, immersing themselves in nature, and embarking on long Australian road trips strengthened their bond. Pushing beyond their comfort zones, they discovered just how much they had in common—and the rest, as they say, is history.

VENUE

22 MAIN ST, CHILTERN, VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA

After exploring venues both near and far, large and small, we realised there was only one place that truly captured the intimacy and atmosphere we envisioned: our family home at 22 Main Street, Chiltern.

We are thrilled to invite you to a garden wedding on Saturday afternoon, followed by Hindu rituals on Sunday morning. Our mum’s years of dedicated gardening have created the perfect setting, and we’re crossing our fingers for beautiful weather to share this special place with you.

​

For parking, we would like to request that guests park at the Chiltern train station, which is a convenient

three-minute walk away.

Attire for day 01

The Australian Wedding

Our wedding and reception will take place in the garden. The weather is likely to be warm, so we suggest smart casual attire and recommend

bringing a second layer in case of cooler weather.

​

For ladies : Midi or long dresses, plain or printed, will suit the relaxed vibe. High heels are best avoided due to soft grass, and floor-length dresses may be tricky if it’s damp.

​

For men : A shirt and blazer paired with chinos, or a full suit will look polished. A tie is optional.

ATTIRE FOR DAY 02

The Hindu Wedding

The morning ceremony will also be outdoors, followed by an afternoon reception. Light, comfortable attire is encouraged, with a second layer just in case.

​

Pri and I will be in traditional Indian attire, and we’d love for guests to join us in embracing this opportunity to wear traditional outfits if they wish.

 

We are happy to assist with sourcing or lending attire. If not, feel free to follow Saturday’s dress code.

ACCOMMODATION

Chiltern is a charming town approximately 300 km (3 hours) from Melbourne. With the Victorian public holiday on Monday 10 March, it’s the perfect long weekend getaway!

​

Given Chiltern’s modest size (around 900 residents), accommodation is limited, and much of it has been reserved for our overseas guests. For other options, the neighbouring town of Beechworth offers a wider variety of accommodations to suit all tastes and budgets.
