₹700 vegetarian and ₹1,100 non-vegetarian a plate, taxes extra, on the hotel's WedMeGood listing (checked 27 October 2026). The hotel's own site leaves banquet pricing to an enquiry, so get the menu, the minimum plate count and the tax treatment in one written quote.

It fits a city reception, engagement or wedding lunch of up to 250: the banquet hall takes 250 seated on WedMeGood (checked 27 October 2026), the hotel has 84 rooms, and outside decorators are permitted. It sits at Kadavanthra Junction, close to MG Road and Marine Drive.

No package is published on the hotel's website (checked 27 October 2026); WedMeGood lists ₹700 vegetarian and ₹1,100 non-vegetarian a plate. Ask for one written proposal with the plate rate, the minimum count, hall hours, room rates for the family and taxes, so you can compare it line by line.

Up to 250 guests: the banquet hall is listed for 250 seated on WedMeGood and for 250 on VenueLook, and the hotel gives a meeting room for 250-plus (all checked 27 October 2026). A stage, buffet and dance floor take space, so confirm the count with your layout drawn.

84 rooms, from Executive and Deluxe rooms to Legacy, Royal and Executive Suites (hotel website, checked 27 October 2026). That sleeps about 168 at two a room; ask for a block with a release date for unused rooms.

Yes for the decorator: WedMeGood records outside decorators as permitted (checked 27 October 2026). The function spaces are indoor halls, so check ceiling height, fixing points, load-in hours and whether a ceremonial fire is allowed, in writing. Panigrahana's decor starts at ₹5 lakh plus GST.

WedMeGood records in-house alcohol available and outside alcohol not permitted (checked 27 October 2026), and the hotel runs Blue Rock, Areena Bar and the rooftop Sky Lounge. Ask how a banquet bar is charged, per head or on consumption, and when it closes.

India's Noise Pollution Rules, 2000 stop loudspeakers outdoors at 10 pm but exempt closed halls (CPCB, checked 26 September 2026), and the hotel's event venues are indoors. WedMeGood records an in-house DJ and outside DJs permitted; get the hotel's own finish time in writing.

The hotel lists valet parking for in-house guests (facilities page, checked 16 October 2026), but no event car count is published. Because it sits at Kadavanthra Junction in the city centre, ask how many guest cars it can hold, whether valet covers banquet guests and where coaches and decor vans should stop.
