Sikh Wedding Checklist and Timeline

Planning a Sikh wedding involves both the sacred Anand Karaj and the surrounding celebrations. A clear checklist keeps everything on track and lets you enjoy the journey.

Several Months Ahead

Book the Gurdwara and confirm the date with the Granthi. Arrange the reception venue, catering and any pre-wedding functions. Begin outfit shopping and guest lists early.

In the Weeks Before

Finalise numbers, confirm vendors, arrange transport and accommodation for guests, and organise pre-wedding events such as sangeet and mehndi.

The Wedding Days

Plan the flow of the Anand Karaj morning, langar, and the reception. Keep a point person for logistics so the families can be present in the moment.

Keep the Meaning Central

Amid the planning, remember the Anand Karaj is a spiritual union. Keeping that at the centre keeps the celebration grounded.
