HTCI is designed to conduct religious wedding ceremonies and other family sacraments in a semi private setting without interruption to regularly scheduled Temple programs. While you can bring your own Priest to conduct the services, it is mandatory that the Temple Priest is consulted and involved.

Nearly 500 attendees can gather in the Assembly Hall to witness the wedding being conducted in a temple setting . A beautiful teakwood Mantapam is available for the wedding. The adjoining two-story facility provides a reception area for the arriving guests. The lower level of the Temple has been finished as a Banquet Hall with attached kitchen, catering, rest room and storage facilities. Wedding receptions and banquets can be held here with 300 plus people being served at any one time. A performance stage is available to entertain the guests.

Please consult the rates and usage guidelines below. Unfortunately, the Temple cannot negotiate beyond the posted rates. Then, check the Temple Calendar to see if the temple room you are requesting is available. Please contact prakashbabu@hinduheritage.org to book.
