At all times there is limited parking at the waterfront. While there are parking lots adjacent to both of the ships, there is no guarantee that there will be space. Please come early. There is additional parking at the Metro Convention Centre (entrance on Lower Simcoe St) and two lots near York St.

We went a bit unorthodox with this one! Mehdni and Mehfil on a boat! The grooms side is honoured to invite guests from all over the world, many who have never been to Canada. What better way to show our love for Toronto than sailing on the waterfront with our friends and family! 

6:00 PM Boarding

If there was ever one event that our guests need to be arrive on time for, its this one! We will be congregating outside the boat Yankee Lady III (3) located located at 249 Queens Quay W. in front of the Radisson Admiral Hotel to the right of the Marine Police Station at the foot of Rees St. If you follow the path down the side of the police station you will see the Yacht docked to your left on the dock. 

The reason it is so important to arrive on time is that the boat will LEAVE AT 7PM! Unless you are a great swimmer, and don't mind a little Toronto lake water, it will not be possible to board the boat thereafter. 

7:00 PM Departure of Boat

The Yacht will leave at this time, and if you're late. You literally miss the boat! Specially curated passed hors d'oeuvres  with an Indian and Asian flare will be served along with speciality drinks! 

8:00 PM Mehdni

For the ladies on the boat (and guys too if that's your jam), we will have live specialist adorning henna on all the guests and family! 

9:00 PM Live Music & Dinner

We are very blessed to know such talented people in Toronto! We have a few special guests lined up who will be singing old classic songs, to modern hits all while enjoying a fun few dishes on the boat!

10:00 PM Live DJ

Get ready to dance the night away with some modern hit songs and Top 40 music! 

12:00 AM Boat Returns

You would have made it through the Singh Mehndi Masti Mehfil and are released to go home finally! Please note it is not possible to leave the boat early once it docks. Once you are on the boat, it will not return till 12AM. Please keep this detail in mind if you need to be home early. 

We wanted to do really something unique for our guests and especially our out of town guests! What better way to celebrate Toronto than on the waterfront on a yacht! Given that the venue is a yacht, spaces are limited and we are not allowed to exceed the maximum capacity. We ask that you please limit the attendance to 2 people, or unless otherwise stated on the event card. Please do confirm your RSVP on the website to confirm your spot!

Colour Scheme:

Groom's Side will be wearing light pink. Preferred dress code for guests: Light pink, mint green, or gold. This is our suggestion, but if this doesn't work for you, we understand! We don't want to inconvenience anyone. Keep in mind: You can always hit up Chandan Fashion to get suited up ;)

Brides Side: Will be wearing sea green. Again, this is our suggestion for the bridal party colours. If that doesn't work for you, don't worry! Whatever you have is just fine! Other colours which also work are gold, and light pink. 

We appreciate the effort you guys would make in this, we know its a big ask. Thank you! :)
