Questions to settle in writing

  1. The minimum guarantee: how many plates you pay for even if fewer guests come, and the date that number locks.
  2. Whether an outside decorator may build in the venue, what the hotel charges for it, and the set-up and take-down hours.
  3. When amplified sound must stop outdoors (10 pm under the CPCB noise rules) and which indoor room takes the late party.
  4. The date the hotel releases unbooked rooms from your block, and what it charges for rooms released after that.

The 10 pm rule: CPCB Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000, checked 26 Sep 2026.
