Indian Wedding Venues We Photograph

Surya Garigipati Photography & Films photographs Indian weddings at New Jersey’s best-known South Asian venues every season. These guides cover eight of them — The Palace at Somerset Park, The Venetian, Garfield, The Grand Marquis, The Legacy Castle, Park Château Estate & Gardens, Crystal Plaza, Addison Park and The Rockleigh — with the light, the baraat route and an hour-by-hour timeline for each.

Each guide is written from our own weddings at the venue: where the baraat can arrive, which room holds the mandap, when the light is best for portraits and how a day there usually runs. If your venue is not here, we have very likely worked it too; the guide to the best Indian wedding venues in New Jersey and the Indian banquet halls of New Jersey, by region cover many more.
