My Indian Wedding - Wedding Location

We decided to have our wedding at the Shiva-Vishnu Temple in Livermore, as it is the biggest and the prettiest of the Hindu temples in the Bay Area. Also, it is the only one that I had visited a few times before the wedding, so we felt the most comfortable getting married there.

Here is a picture of the Temple:



And here is a text we had on our wedding website under a link "Wedding Location":


Our wedding ceremony will take place in the Assembly Hall of the Shiva-Vishnu Temple, 1232 Arrowhead Ave, Livermore, CA, USA.

The Assembly Hall is located directly behind the Temple.
