Justin & Dalveen’s 3-Day Punjabi Wedding at Eagle Ridge | A Cultural Celebration

Justin & Dalveen’s 3-Day Punjabi Wedding

Justin and Dalveen’s stunning 3-day Punjabi wedding was a celebration of love, tradition, and unity. As their videographer, I had the privilege of capturing this unique blend of Punjabi and Middle Eastern customs, all set against the backdrop of some truly spectacular venues. Each day was filled with cultural richness, from the lively Sangeet and Jaggo to the serene Maiyan and the breathtaking wedding day at Eagle Ridge Country Estate.

Day 1: Sangeet & Jaggo – Vibrancy and Tradition

The celebrations kicked off with the Sangeet and Jaggo—two key Punjabi pre-wedding events. The Sangeet was alive with colorful dance performances, where friends and family performed energetic routines, bringing everyone into the spirit of celebration. The Jaggo is a traditional ceremony where the families come together to celebrate the upcoming union with music, dancing, and a lighted brass pot with a candle light. In this case, what made the night even more special was the couple leading everyone to the Te Awamutu Sports Club, which was named after Dalveen’s grandfather. It was a meaningful way to tie in family history with the start of their new life together.

Day 2: Maiyan & Mehndi – A Calm and Cultural Gathering

The second day of festivities was much more relaxed, focusing on the Maiyan and Mehndi ceremonies. The Maiyan involves the application of turmeric paste to both the bride and groom, a ritual meant to bless and purify them ahead of the wedding day. The Mehndi ceremony is a traditional part of Punjabi weddings, where henna is applied to the bride’s hands and feet in intricate designs. This day was spent at the bride’s parents' farm, surrounded by family and traditional Punjabi food. It was a beautiful, calming day, and capturing these intimate moments felt like stepping into a different world filled with cultural richness.

Day 3: Wedding Day at Eagle Ridge Country Estate – A Magical Day Despite the Rain

The third and final day was the wedding day at the magnificent Eagle Ridge Country Estate in Ohauiti, near Tauranga. Despite the rain pouring all day, Justin and Dalveen remained joyful and undeterred. Their Sikh wedding ceremony was filled with love, and their vibrant reception brought warmth and happiness to everyone in attendance. The couple’s first dance was absolutely breathtaking, with fireworks and sparklers creating a magical atmosphere that felt straight out of a movie.

The venue at Eagle Ridge was nothing short of spectacular, offering panoramic views that would have been even more stunning on a clear day, but the rain did little to dampen the spirits of those in attendance. Both families came together to celebrate the union of two cultures, with Dalveen’s Punjabi roots blending beautifully with Justin’s Middle Eastern background, creating a wedding full of love and respect.

Cooking and Cleaning: A Cute Couple’s Agreement

Shilpan & Karisma’s Gujarati Hindu Wedding | Shree Swaminarayan Temple, Auckland

Shilpan & Karisma’s Beautiful Gujarati Hindu Wedding at Shree Swaminarayan Temple

Shilpan and Karisma’s love story is one of timeless devotion. After 7 years of growing together, Karisma says that loving Shilpan feels as natural as breathing. Their bond was beautifully celebrated with a traditional Gujarati Hindu wedding that honored their roots while also showcasing the deep love they share. As their wedding videographer, I had the privilege of capturing every vibrant and emotional moment, and I’m thrilled to share their story.

A Stunning Wedding Venue: Shree Swaminarayan Temple, Auckland

Located in Papatoetoe, Auckland, the Shree Swaminarayan Temple was the perfect setting for Shilpan and Karisma’s traditional wedding. The temple’s intricate design and spiritual atmosphere added to the beauty of their ceremony. For Indian couples in Auckland seeking a venue that reflects cultural and religious significance, this temple offers an ideal backdrop. Visit Shree Swaminarayan Temple’s official website for more information about the venue.

Sangeet Night: A Celebration of Color and Dance

The laughter, dancing, and shared moments were a joy to capture, setting the tone for the emotional wedding day to follow.

The Wedding Day: A Ceremony Filled with Tradition and Emotion

The couple’s Gujarati Hindu wedding ceremony was a beautiful tribute to tradition. Shilpan, who is a dedicated medical doctor, honored his roots by embracing the rich rituals of his culture. One of the most touching moments of the day was when Shilpan read a surprise letter he had written for Karisma on their wedding day. For seven years, he had written her love letters, but this one was reserved for their special day—a gesture that left everyone in awe.

The ceremony itself was steeped in symbolism, with the couple performing sacred rituals, including the seven steps around the fire (Saptapadi). These steps represented their journey together as they vowed to support each other through every stage of life. The atmosphere inside Shree Swaminarayan Temple was spiritual and full of love as family members and friends watched with teary eyes.

Vidai: A Heartfelt Farewell

We concluded the day with the Vidai—a traditional ceremony in which Karisma said an emotional farewell to her family before officially moving into her new home with Shilpan. This was one of the most touching moments of the entire wedding. While tears were shed, they were tears of happiness as both families rejoiced in the love and union of the couple. It was truly a bittersweet and heartfelt moment to capture.

Why Shree Swaminarayan Temple is the Perfect Wedding Venue
