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. Chaitrashree Royal Banquet I takes 1,500 seated, the main lawn takes 1,200 seated with a canal running along one edge, and there are 51 rooms on site. Very few venues anywhere in Bangalore can seat fifteen hundred people indoors and another twelve hundred outdoors on the same night.
There is also a heritage courtyard with a temple complex on the property, which matters for families who want the muhurtham performed at a temple rather than at a decorated stage. Both in-house and outside caterers are permitted; decor comes from a panel.
- Six spaces including two air-conditioned banquet halls and two lawns
- Chaitrashree Royal Banquet I at 1,500 seated — the largest indoor seated figure on this roster
- A heritage courtyard with an on-site temple complex for the ceremony
- 51 rooms on site
- Both in-house and outside catering permitted; decor from a panel
- Opened in 2024 on the Kaggalipura Road side of Bannerghatta

Designed, not just planned
Wedding planning & decor at Meridian by the Lawns | Chaitrashree Royal Banquet: how we would design it
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 1,500 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 | Poolside or the courtyard in the morning. The venue's own site records separate rooms for haldi, mehendi and sangeet, 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 I. At 1,500 seated it is one of the very 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 for 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 hours are Monday to Saturday 9:00 to 22:30 and Sunday 9:00 to 00:30, which is worth knowing for a late reception. Parking is described as ample with no count published; for a 1,500-guest evening, ask for the number and a marshalling plan.
An honest read
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 temple on site. |
|---|---|
| Look elsewhere if | Couples who want their own decorator, or an intimate wedding where 1,500 seats and 51 rooms are far more than the day needs. |
| Planner tip | Use the temple 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. |

Asked and answered
Meridian by the Lawns | Chaitrashree Royal Banquet wedding questions
Are Meridian by the Lawns and Chaitrashree Royal Banquet the same venue?
Yes. One property, one address. Chaitrashree Royal Banquet is the convention hall inside Meridian by the Lawns — the venue's own site hosts it at /convention-hall-bangalore/ and describes it as 'our stunning convention hall'. WedMeGood's combined listing is correct, not a merge error.
How many guests can Meridian by the Lawns hold?
The listing records Chaitrashree Royal Banquet I at 1,500 seated / 5,000 floating, Banquet II at 700 / 2,500, the main lawn at 1,200 / 3,000, Meridian by the Waters at 500 / 1,500, a heritage courtyard at 100 / 350 and a poolside at 100 / 200, checked 11 September 2026.
Where exactly is Meridian by the Lawns?
Kaggalipura Road, near Big Barn Farm, Bannerughatta, Bilwaradahalli, Bengaluru 560083. It is on the Bannerghatta side of south Bangalore, easy from the south and a long drive from the north and east.
Can I bring my own caterer?
Yes. The listing records in-house and outside catering as both allowed. Decor is the restricted category — decorators must come from the venue's panel — so ask for that list at enquiry stage.
Can I bring my own decorator?
No. The listing records decorators from panel only. An outside designer can direct through drawings and supervision if the venue agrees, and that arrangement is far easier to negotiate before you sign than afterwards.
Is there a temple on the property?
Yes. The venue's own site describes a heritage courtyard with a temple complex, recorded on the listing at 100 seated / 350 floating. For families who want the muhurtham performed at a temple rather than on a decorated stage, that is a specific and unusual offer.
How many rooms are there?
51, across multiple categories, per the WedMeGood listing. The venue's own site mentions multiple room categories without publishing a count. Fifty-one rooms is enough for both families and a good part of the out-of-town guest list.
Is alcohol allowed at Meridian by the Lawns?
The listing records no in-house alcohol and outside alcohol permitted. You arrange and supply the bar. Confirm the licensing requirement for your date, since responsibility sits with whoever supplies. Note also that the venue closes at 22:30 Monday to Saturday and 00:30 on Sunday, which sets the real end of bar service.
What are the venue's operating hours?
Monday to Saturday 9:00 to 22:30 and Sunday 9:00 to 00:30, per the venue's own site. That Sunday extension matters if your reception runs late — it is the only day the property is licensed past midnight.
What does a wedding at Meridian by the Lawns cost?
The listing shows a destination package without publishing a figure in its structured fields, and the venue's own site publishes no rate card. Because outside catering is allowed, ask for the venue hire and the package separately so you can compare them properly.
When did it open?
The listing records the venue as started in 2024 and shows it listed on WedMeGood for about three years and six months as of September 2026, which do not reconcile. It carries a 4.8 rating from 13 reviews. Either way it is a recent property, and the planting on the lawns is young.
What would Panigrahana do here?
Set the lawn aisle parallel to the canal rather than across it, so the ceremony gets a reflective edge that most layouts here waste. In Chaitrashree, at 1,500 seats, anything below eye level is invisible from the back, so the design lives on the stage face, the ceiling plane and a repeating vertical down the side walls — with a cool accent on the stage to separate the couple from the hall's warm cove wash.
