Leela wedding venues: 4 Leela hotels in Bangalore and Kerala, compared
Our venue research covers 4 Leela hotels that host weddings: 2 in Bangalore and 2 in Kerala. Where a hotel publishes a food rate, it runs from ₹1,800 a plate at The Leela Ashtamudi, a Raviz Hotel to ₹5,000 at Leela Palace Bangalore, before taxes. The Leela Bhartiya City Bengaluru lists the largest capacity, up to 1,600 guests. Panigrahana is a wedding planning studio, not The Leela.
The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts is an Indian luxury hotel group. Two of the Kerala hotels on this page carry the Leela name and are operated by The Raviz, which is why their full names read “a Raviz Hotel”.
Panigrahana Weddings is a wedding planning and design studio, not The Leela. The hotel contracts the date, rooms and food with your family; we help you choose, then design and run the wedding.

How Leela hotels price a wedding
4 of the 4 properties here show a food rate on a public listing; each figure links to that listing with the date we checked it. It is a reference point, not a quote. Hotels in this group rarely publish a hall rent: most sell a wedding as a food-and-beverage minimum for each function, often tied to a block of rooms for set nights, and a whole-resort wedding as a buyout.
Ask each hotel for one written proposal that separates food per plate, the minimum guarantee, rooms and nights, venue charges, taxes and any fee for outside decorators. That is the only fair way to compare two hotels, even two of the same brand.
For families planning from abroad
Where the 4 hotels above publish a food rate, it runs from ₹1,800 a plate at The Leela Ashtamudi, a Raviz Hotel to ₹5,000 at Leela Palace Bangalore (WedMeGood listings, checked 26 Sep 2026 and 11 Sep 2026). Food for 300 guests at one dinner starts at about ₹5.4 lakh (US$5,630 · £4,260 · AED 20,700 · C$7,970 · A$8,020), before taxes, rooms and decor.
| Food only, before taxes | INR | USD | GBP | AED | CAD | AUD |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lowest published plate | ₹1,800 | US$19 | £14 | AED 69 | C$27 | A$27 |
| Highest published plate | ₹5,000 | US$52 | £39 | AED 190 | C$74 | A$74 |
| 300 guests, one dinner, lowest plate | ₹5.4 lakh | US$5,630 | £4,260 | AED 20,700 | C$7,970 | A$8,020 |
| 300 guests, one dinner, highest plate | ₹15 lakh | US$15,600 | £11,800 | AED 57,400 | C$22,100 | A$22,300 |

Planning a Leela wedding with a studio
The hotel sells the date, the rooms and the food. The rest is yours to organise: the mandap and decor, the production crew, guest travel and the run of functions across two or three days. That is the part we do. Panigrahana is an architect-led design studio from Bangalore: we design each mandap and stage for your wedding and build it with our own production team.

Questions couples ask
How many Leela hotels can host a wedding in Bangalore and Kerala?
Our research covers 4 properties: 2 in Bangalore and 2 in Kerala. Each name in the table opens its own guide with the spaces, policies and the date we checked every figure.
What does a Leela wedding cost per plate?
On the listings we could source, food runs from ₹1,800 a plate at The Leela Ashtamudi, a Raviz Hotel to ₹5,000 at Leela Palace Bangalore, before taxes. 4 of the 4 properties here show a sourced food rate. Rooms, venue charges, decor and the bar are separate, so compare written proposals, not plate rates.
Does Leela sell wedding packages?
Leela hotels price weddings property by property: there is no single Leela wedding package.

In practice a "package" is the hotel's proposal: a food-and-beverage minimum for each function, usually tied to a block of rooms for set nights, with venue and decor charges listed separately. Ask every hotel for the same breakdown so two proposals can be compared line by line.
