What's different about planning in USA
Gurdwaras cluster by metro
The largest Sikh communities sit around the San Francisco Bay Area, the New York / New Jersey corridor, the DC–Maryland–Virginia area, Houston and Dallas, Seattle, Chicago and parts of California's Central Valley. If you're outside one of those, the Gurdwara may be the longest drive in your whole plan — book the Anand Karaj date first and let the reception venue follow, not the other way around. Confirm early whether the Gurdwara provides Ragis and langar or you arrange them.
Venue and catering cost swings by state
A 300-guest reception in metro New York or the Bay Area is a different budget from the same wedding in Texas or the Midwest — hotel ballroom minimums and union/service rules in coastal metros push the venue line up fast. Catering is still your biggest line everywhere; many couples use a dedicated Indian/Punjabi caterer rather than a hotel's in-house menu, which changes the venue's outside-catering and corkage terms. Ask about those terms before you sign.
Cross-state and travel logistics
It's common for the two families to be in different states, and for a meaningful share of guests to fly in. That adds room blocks, welcome logistics and a tighter day-of timeline. Build the guest-count and travel assumptions into the budget early — out-of-state guests change catering counts and hotel planning more than couples expect.
Planning principles to start with
Start by confirming your Gurdwara, event list, guest count and budget. Then compare local quotes and assign family responsibilities. These guides offer general planning information. Our automated paid blueprint currently uses Canadian cities and CAD budgets; it does not yet provide a localized American plan.
