What is Roce ceremony ?

The Roce ceremony is a charming pre-wedding Goan tradition that marks the beginning of the wedding festivities. It is a significant event where the bride and groom are anointed with a mixture of coconut milk and coconut oil, symbolizing purity and prosperity.

Join us for a twist of fun as we playfully break eggs on the couple's heads, adding humour to this time-honoured tradition. It's all in good spirits, and we promise, no eggs will go to waste – just a lot of joy and perhaps a few laughs! 🌴 🥚

What is Indian Sangeet ?

Indian Sangeet is a super fun and celebratory pre-wedding event in India. "Sangeet”' means music, so you can guess… It's all about singing, dancing, and having a great time.

The coolest part? You get to be a performer too! Plan a fun dance and show off your best moves with awesome Bollywood songs. It can also be a good time for loved ones to share heartfelt words or interesting-funny stories about the couple while embracing the French tradition. If you're interested in participating, let us know!

Get ready for a night of music, dancing, and an evening packed with laughter and positive vibes! 🎶 💃 😄

More about Goa

Goa, located on the southwestern coast of India, is a tropical paradise known for its pristine beaches, vibrant nightlife, and rich cultural heritage. Famous for its Portuguese colonial architecture, diverse cuisine, and bustling markets, Goa offers a unique blend of relaxation and excitement.

You should definitely stay a few days in Goa before or after the wedding since the state is among the most beautiful places in India. Old Goa with its 500 -year-old churches is full of history and heritage. South Goa is more nature-oriented and has the most beautiful beaches while North Goa is a great place to party.

Visit India

You may want to take the opportunity to visit India for our wedding.

Located south of Goa, lies the beautiful and lush state of Kerala. You can embark on a stunning trek through tea plantations in Munnar, enjoy a romantic houseboat cruise in the backwaters, visit the typical city of Kochi, and attend a traditional Kathakali show.

If you arrive in Mumbai, consider spending a few days exploring the incredible city before heading to Goa.

Alternatively, you can first land in Delhi and explore the Northern cities such as Agra, known for its famous Taj Mahal, or the royal city of Jaipur.
