Adding Multiple Events

Most Muslim weddings span multiple days and events. Here's how to set them all up.

Why Multiple Events?

Traditional Muslim weddings often include:

  • Mendhi - Henna ceremony (often women-only)
  • Nikah - The marriage ceremony
  • Walima - Wedding reception/feast
  • Dholki - Musical celebration
  • Baraat - Groom's procession
  • Nikahly lets you manage all of these in one place.
