Please take note of the guests listed on your invitation, we will indicate your plus one by name if applicable.

While we would love to celebrate with everyone, we are only able to accommodate those we’ve planned for. If you’d like to bring a guest not listed on your invitation, please reach out to Tamara or Crispin.

The Hindu wedding ceremony will be approximately 3 hours. We understand this is longer than a typical church or civil ceremony, and some light movement and socializing is perfectly fine, even encouraged! We want you to enjoy the experience and embrace the vibrant energy of a Hindu wedding.

However, we kindly ask that guests remain respectful of the ceremony. Please keep seating as arranged and avoid moving chairs, as the theatre-style setup has been thoughtfully planned. We also ask that guests refrain from congregating in the lobby or banquet areas during the ceremony.

Hindu weddings are a beautiful time for community and connection, and we appreciate your help in ensuring the ceremony remains a meaningful and uninterrupted experience for all.

A full South Indian-Tamil breakfast will be served at 08.00 AM, and guests are encouraged to arrive on time to enjoy the full spread. During the ceremony, light refreshments, including coffee, tea, and mango lassi will be available.

For those who are unable to join for breakfast, please note that additional snacks will not be served during the ceremony. A full lunch banquet will follow immediately after.

Yes, there will be a lunch banquet immediately following the Hindu ceremony in the adjacent ballroom. Lunch will be served buffet-style with some dishes shared family-style at the tables. Guests are encouraged to mingle and spend time socializing. This portion of the day is intended to be more relaxed and informal, and will not include formal reception programming or entertainment.

Complimentary parking is available at St. Paul’s Basilica and at St. Paul’s Catholic School (located behind the church). However, spaces are limited. Additional paid public parking is available nearby at 48 Power Street among many other options.

As the church is located in the heart of downtown Toronto, guests traveling from within the city or the GTA are encouraged to allow sufficient time for traffic and parking. Kindly plan to be seated by 01.30 PM.

We recommend using this time to freshen up or enjoy a quick drink nearby, there are great options in the Distillery District.

Please be mindful of travel time and aim to arrive by 05.00 PM for the start of cocktail hour. The interlude will fly by, and we’d love for you to enjoy every moment of cocktail hour. Tamara and Crispin will be there for its entire duration, and it’s sure to be one of their favorite parts of the evening.

The bar will be open until 01.00 AM, and the celebration will continue until 02.00 AM.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Kailas–Coelho celebration without an after-party. Keep an eye (and ear) out on the dance floor for details.
