Which wedding planner and decorator works at Meridian by the Lawns | Chaitrashree Royal Banquet?
Panigrahana Weddings has worked at Meridian by the Lawns | Chaitrashree Royal Banquet and builds its own decor with its Bangalore team, and as of 31 October 2026 planning starts at ₹2 lakh a day for two events and decor at ₹5 lakh, both plus GST.
Use the Heritage Courtyard for the muhurtham and the banquet hall for the reception, rather than doing both in the hall. Families who book this venue for its size often forget the courtyard exists, and it is the part of the property that gives a very large wedding a small, private centre. Ask us what we built here and what we would change for your guest count. Decor comes from our own team in Bangalore, and the planning fee and decor quote stay separate from what you pay the venue.

About Meridian by the Lawns
Meridian by the Lawns and Chaitrashree Royal Banquet are one property, not two. The banquet halls sit inside the Meridian complex on Kaggalipura Road near Bannerghatta, and the venue's own site describes Chaitrashree as its convention hall. WedMeGood's combined listing is correct.
The scale is the point. On the venue's own site, Chaitrashree Royal Banquet Hall I seats up to 1,200, the main lawn takes up to 1,200 seated or 5,000 floating with a canal along one edge, and there are rooms on site, 51 on the WedMeGood listing. Very few venues in Bangalore can seat twelve hundred people indoors and another twelve hundred outdoors on the same night.
There is also a Heritage Courtyard, which WedMeGood lists as a heritage venue with a temple (checked 26 October 2026), and which matters for families who want the muhurtham close and quiet rather than on a decorated stage. Both in-house and outside caterers are permitted; decor comes from a panel.
- Six spaces on the venue's own site, including two air-conditioned banquet halls and two lawns
- Chaitrashree Royal Banquet Hall I seats up to 1,200, and the main lawn up to 1,200 seated or 5,000 floating
- A Heritage Courtyard for haldi, mehendi and intimate rituals
- 51 rooms on site on the WedMeGood listing
- Both in-house and outside catering permitted; decor from a panel
- Started in 2024 on the Kaggalipura Road side of Bannerghatta

Designed, not just planned
How we would design a wedding at Meridian by the Lawns
The two halves of this property need opposite treatments. Chaitrashree Royal Banquet I is a very large air-conditioned room with a coffered, cove-lit ceiling and a full-width stage, at 1,200 seats, detail below eye level is invisible from the back, so the design has to live on the stage face, the ceiling plane and a repeating vertical down the side walls. Cove lighting is already warm, so a cool accent on the stage separates the couple from that wash. Outside, Meridian by the Lawns runs along a canal, which is the property's best natural line and the one most layouts ignore: setting the aisle parallel to the water rather than across it gives the whole ceremony a reflective edge. The heritage courtyard with the temple is the third register, small, old, and best left almost undressed, with light and flowers rather than structure. Because decor is panel-restricted, the outside design role here is drawings and supervision agreed before booking.
Which function goes where
| Haldi | The Heritage Courtyard or the poolside in the morning. The venue's own site listed separate rooms for haldi, mehendi and sangeet in September 2026, which is unusual and useful. |
|---|---|
| Mehendi | Meridian by the Waters, or the covered spaces if the weather turns. The lawn beside water gives even light through the morning. |
| Sangeet | Chaitrashree Royal Banquet II at 700 seated, or the main lawn. Outside DJs are permitted. |
| Wedding ceremony | The courtyard temple for the ceremony itself with the family close in, then the banquet hall for the crowd. Or the main lawn if the muhurtham is at a scale the courtyard cannot hold. |
| Reception | Chaitrashree Royal Banquet Hall I. At up to 1,200 seated on the venue's own site, it is one of the few rooms in south Bangalore that takes that number without a marquee. |
Season and weather
The banquet halls are air-conditioned, so the season affects the lawns rather than the ceremony. November to February suits outdoor functions. The halls make this one of the safer monsoon-window venues in south Bangalore, because the indoor fallback genuinely holds the crowd.
Arrivals, access and logistics
Kaggalipura Road off Bannerghatta is straightforward from south Bangalore and slow from the north and east; the venue's own site points to easy access from Kanakapura Road. Its own site listed hours of Monday to Saturday 9:00 to 22:30 and Sunday 9:00 to 00:30 in September 2026, worth confirming for a late reception. Parking is described as ample with no count published; for a 1,000-guest evening, ask for the number and a marshalling plan.

Before you book
Planning notes for Meridian by the Lawns
Is Meridian by the Lawns | Chaitrashree Royal Banquet the right venue for your wedding?
| Right for you if | South Bangalore families with very large guest lists, a thousand and upward, who want an indoor hall that genuinely holds everyone, a lawn for the ceremony and a quiet courtyard for the rituals. |
|---|---|
| Look elsewhere if | Couples set on their own decorator, since decor comes from the venue's panel on the listing, and intimate weddings where a 1,200-seat hall is more room than the day needs. |
| Planner tip | Use the Heritage Courtyard for the muhurtham and the banquet hall for the reception, rather than doing both in the hall. Families who book this venue for its size often forget the courtyard exists, and it is the part of the property that gives a very large wedding a small, private centre. |
Where Meridian by the Lawns | Chaitrashree Royal Banquet is
Meridian by the Lawns, Kaggalipura Road, near Big Barn Farm, Bannerughatta, Bilwaradahalli, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560083
Planning a wedding at Meridian by the Lawns | Chaitrashree Royal Banquet from abroad
51 rooms ≈ 102 guests at two a room. A 150-guest block at two a room needs 75 rooms, so plan for about 24 rooms nearby.
Meridian by the Lawns is off Bannerghatta Road near Big Barn Farm, on the south side of the city, so guests flying into Kempegowda International Airport face a long cross-city transfer: land a day ahead. WedMeGood lists 51 rooms, enough for both families and part of the outstation list. November to February suits the lawns, and the Chaitrashree halls carry a monsoon date. A video walkthrough should cover the main lawn along the canal, Hall I at full set-up and the courtyard.
| Season | The banquet halls are air-conditioned, so the season affects the lawns rather than the ceremony. |

Is Meridian by the Lawns a good monsoon venue?
Yes: Chaitrashree Royal Banquet Hall I seats up to 1,200 indoors on the venue's own site (checked 26 October 2026), so a large reception moves under a roof without cutting the list. The lawns are at their best from November to February.
What do reviews say about Meridian by the Lawns?
Meridian by the Lawns holds 4.8 out of 5 from 13 WedMeGood reviews, 11 of them five-star, and its own site quotes guests on the lawns, the banquet halls, the rooms and the food (both checked 26 October 2026). Ask the venue for references from weddings of your size.
Where can we see photos of Meridian by the Lawns?
Meridian by the Lawns' own site and its Instagram, @meridianbythelawns, show the 6 spaces, from the canal-side main lawn to the coffered Chaitrashree hall (checked 26 October 2026). Ask for photos of an evening reception, since the halls and the lawns change most after dark.
When did Meridian by the Lawns open?
WedMeGood records Meridian by the Lawns as started in 2024 (checked 26 October 2026), which makes it one of south Bangalore's newer large venues. The planting on the lawns is young, so use light and structure to frame the main lawn.
