Quick answer: For the classic palace wedding in Bangalore, The Leela Palace Bengaluru on HAL Old Airport Road (Maharaja Ballroom for 1,000, 357 rooms, ₹4,500–₹8,000/plate on our records) is the definitive address. The Leela Bhartiya City brings the same polish to North Bangalore — closer to the airport and Nandi Hills. For a sea-facing destination wedding, The Leela Kovalam sits on Kerala's most dramatic clifftop, and The Leela Ashtamudi in Kollam takes a whole lake hotel of 96 rooms for ₹30 lakh a day, rooms, three meals and venue included (WedMeGood). Panigrahana is the planning and decor studio, not the hotel, and has produced weddings at The Leela in Bangalore and Goa.
