Jayinee and Patrick's Wedding Dinner-Speeches-Songs-Dances

Anaviv Catering, an Oakland based boutique caterer, prepared and served the wonderful dinner. The guests were served the entre’ of their choice at their tables. The available entre’ were lamb chops, fish and a vegetarian dish.

The tables are set and ready for the guests

Each of the elements on the table are selected by the bride and the groom

The wedding favor at each place setting is an Indian stainless-steel tiffin carrier (lunch box) with two containers filled with Indian sweets and savory. The story behind the choice of this item goes back to Jayinee's fascination with Indian tiffin carrier. She got one from India and Patrick uses it every day as lunch box. They wanted to give the guests a practical useful item as 'thank you' gift.
