The Ramada Inn and Conference Center

One of my husband’s close friend recently held their wedding reception as part of their three days of celebration in observant of their Muslim religion and Pakistani customs/​traditions. On the third day, the bride and groom are dressed in traditional and eleborate red garments. Wedding vows are exchanged with the Holy Koran held over the bride’s head. The paperwork is signed in front of an Islamic priest and guests. At the end of the night, the bride and groom host their first dinner (reception) as husband and wife.
We were present on the third day of their celebration. The bride looked absolutely gorgeous! She was dressed dripping with jewels. I love the lavish jewelry, intricate bead work and embroidery that adorns her sari and veil. The opening of the ceremony consist of prayers, singing, and formal portraits taken with the bride & groom at the center stage. An open buffet of appetizers– tandoori wings, chutney and dressings, chickpeas salad and paan (Indian bread) was served along with coffee and tea. Stations include tiki chicken masala (chicken curry finished with cream sauce), yellow chicken curry, goat curry, bastimi rice with peas, pann, roti, samosas (indian puffy appetizer filled with potatoes and vegetables), chickpeas, salad, and condiments. For dessert, sweet potato Indian pudding and strawberry icecream with fruit seeds. The waitstaff immediately cleared dishes and utensils off the table. Clean napkins were distributed frequently. Later, in the evening the room featured a dance floor with the DJ and MC. The guests were pretty amazing with their dancing w/​o any alcohol. Overall, the reception held in the conference room was very spaceous and accomodating. The facility was neatly kept and clean.
