About The Oberoi Bengaluru
The Oberoi Bengaluru is the garden hotel on MG Road: three acres of landscaped grounds in the middle of the city, an Orchid Hall of 183.7 sq m for 120 to 150 guests, and 160 rooms with the Oberoi's service. It is the intimate luxury wedding, up to about 150 guests, for a family that wants the gardens and the address more than a big ballroom.
The Oberoi's own pages size the garden venues modestly: the Bamboo Grove for 50, the Lapis Terrace for 30, the poolside for 75 to 80. Panigrahana designs the gardens for what they are, mature trees, water and light after dark, and the Orchid Hall as a formal dinner room.

Asked and answered
The Oberoi Bengaluru wedding questions
How many guests can The Oberoi Bengaluru hold for a wedding?
About 150 at most in one room. The Oberoi's events page gives the Orchid Hall 120 (its hotel page says up to 150), the poolside 80, the Bamboo Grove 50, Hibiscus & Hyacinth 35 and the Lapis Terrace 30 (checked 26 September 2026). An older listing figure of 200 seated or 400 standing does not match the hotel's own pages.
Can The Oberoi Bengaluru host a 100–150 guest wedding?
Yes, in the Orchid Hall: 183.7 sq m with high ceilings, fabric-clad walls and a pre-function area, for 120 guests on the hotel's events page and up to 150 on its hotel page (oberoihotels.com, checked 26 September 2026). That is the hotel's natural size. For 200 or more, ITC Gardenia or The Leela Palace nearby is the better fit.
Can we have the ceremony outdoors at The Oberoi Bengaluru?
Yes, for a small wedding. The poolside, 353 sq m under a canopy of old trees, takes 80, and the open-air Bamboo Grove takes 50, per The Oberoi's events page (checked 26 September 2026). Name the Orchid Hall as the written rain plan, and remember that amplified sound outdoors stops at 10 pm in Bengaluru.
Does The Oberoi Bengaluru allow outside decorators?
Yes. The WedMeGood listing says outside decorators are permitted (checked 26 September 2026); catering stays in-house.
What does a wedding at The Oberoi Bengaluru cost per plate?
The WedMeGood listing publishes ₹2,000 per plate, vegetarian and non-vegetarian, taxes extra, with rooms at ₹25,500 each (checked 26 September 2026). Treat the plate as the entry menu; wedding menus price above it, and the hotel works on a minimum spend per function.
Does The Oberoi Bengaluru have wedding packages?
None published. The hotel sells on a food-and-beverage minimum for each function plus a room block. The WedMeGood listing's ₹2,000 a plate and ₹25,500 a room (checked 26 September 2026) are entry figures, and wedding menus sit above that plate. Ask for the minimum per space, the menu tiers and the room-block rate in one written proposal.
How many rooms does The Oberoi Bengaluru have?
160, per the WedMeGood listing. Every room and suite has a private balcony over the gardens, per the hotel's own FAQ.

No. The WedMeGood listing records in-house catering only, and alcohol from the hotel with outside alcohol not permitted (checked 26 September 2026). Outside decorators are allowed, and both the hotel's DJ and outside DJs are permitted.
What time does music have to stop at The Oberoi Bengaluru?
Outdoors, 10 pm. Most of the Oberoi's wedding spaces are in the garden (the poolside, the Bamboo Grove, the Lapis Terrace), and Bengaluru stops amplified outdoor sound at that hour. Move the late part of the evening into the Orchid Hall and confirm its finish time in writing.
How far is The Oberoi Bengaluru from the airport?
38 km, about 1 hour 15 minutes by road, per The Oberoi's own travel notes (checked 26 September 2026). Trinity and MG Road metro stations are minutes from the hotel.
When is the best time for a garden wedding at The Oberoi Bengaluru?
October to March, when the evenings are dry. From June to September, name the Orchid Hall as the rain plan for anything in the garden, and keep the guest count within its 120 to 150.
Oberoi or Taj West End for an intimate wedding?
Both suit under 150 guests. The Oberoi has three acres of gardens on MG Road, the Orchid Hall for 120 to 150 and 160 rooms with garden balconies (The Oberoi). Taj West End has 20 acres, Tamarind for 40 to 100 and 117 rooms (Taj). The Oberoi is the quieter house; Taj West End has heritage lawns.
The Oberoi or Taj MG Road for a wedding on MG Road?
Neighbours on MG Road. The Oberoi is the small garden wedding: spaces for 30 to 150 guests, 160 rooms, ₹2,000 a plate on its listing. Taj MG Road is the hall wedding: Trinity Hall for 250 at rounds and 800 in rows, 167 rooms, ₹3,100 vegetarian and ₹3,500 non-vegetarian on its listing, decorators from the hotel's panel only.
How would a two-day wedding use The Oberoi Bengaluru's spaces?
