We also proudly host pre-wedding brunches, luncheons, cocktail hours, and post-wedding gatherings, all with exceptional catering, on-site accommodations, and attentive event coordination to ensure every detail is thoughtfully executed.
ROKA CELEBRATION
The Roka Ceremony is one of the most meaningful pre-wedding traditions in many North Indian and Punjabi families. Often considered the official announcement of the couple’s union, Roka is a joyful gathering where both families come together to celebrate the beginning of a new chapter.
HALDI CELEBRATION
The Haldi Ceremony is one of the most cherished pre-wedding traditions in South Asian weddings. Held before the wedding day, Haldi is a joyful event where family and friends gather to bless the bride and groom with love, laughter, and good fortune.
MENDHI NIGHT
Mehndi Night is one of the most special and joyful events of a South Asian wedding weekend. It is usually held before the wedding day and brings together family and friends for a night of tradition, music, and celebration.
SANGEET
The Sangeet Ceremony is one of the most exciting and joyful events of the South Asian wedding weekend. Traditionally held before the wedding day, Sangeet is a celebration of music, dancing, and family togetherness as loved ones gather to honor the couple in a festive and unforgettable way.
JAGO CEREMONY
Jago is a joyful tradition that symbolizes the excitement of the wedding festivities coming to life. It is a night filled with energy, music, laughter, and cultural pride — a true celebration of family, community, and the spirit of togetherness.
BARAAT
With over 16 acres of property, Marriott Chicago Northwest offers ample space for a grand and joyful Baraat celebration. Our expansive grounds provide the perfect setting for music, dancing, and an unforgettable wedding-day arrival.
