Planning a wedding at Hotel Airlink Castle from abroad

At Hotel Airlink Castle, the vegetarian plate rate is ₹800 (WedMeGood listing, checked 27 October 2026), so food for one 150-guest function is ₹1.2 lakh before taxes: about US$1,250 or £950 at the 26 Sep 2026 rate; contracts are in INR.

Guests fly into Cochin International Airport (COK), and the hotel stands at its portals at Athani, Nedumbassery, so arrivals reach the venue without a city transfer. The 54 rooms sleep about 108 at two a room; other hotels near the airport take the rest. The halls are indoors, so any month works. A video walkthrough should cover Horizon set for your count, Monarch and the rooms you would block.

What families usually ask about Hotel Airlink Castle

Horizon is an indoor hall for 500 (hotel banquets page), so elders are seated in comfort for a ceremony in any season, and close family can stay in the hotel. Catering is in-house only, so ask whether the kitchen serves a sadya on banana leaf: specialist sadya caterers on our recent Kerala weddings charged ₹750 to ₹1,100 a leaf (Panigrahana booking records, October 2026), a fair yardstick for its quote. Ask about lift access to each hall.
