The Ritz-Carlton Bangalore Wedding Venue

₹3,500 per plate, taxes extra, is the current floor on the WedMeGood listing (checked 11 September 2026): the entry menu, not a wedding quote. Panigrahana's indicative planning band for a wedding menu here is ₹5,000–₹9,000 a plate before 18% GST, with the bar billed separately. Taste both the standard and the top menus before you fix the number.

For 300 guests, food alone comes to about ₹15–27 lakh before GST, using Panigrahana's indicative planning band of ₹5,000–₹9,000 a plate, which is not a venue quote. The published floor is ₹3,500 a plate on WedMeGood (checked 11 September 2026). Rooms, decor, the bar and entertainment are extra, and the reception must meet the ballroom's minimum guarantee.

A minimum guarantee. There is no flat hire fee: each ballroom and function room carries a plate-count floor for your date. Meet it and the space costs nothing beyond catering. Fall short and you pay for the missing plates, normally negotiable below the full plate rate. Get the floor, the tier and the shortfall clause in writing.

5,780 sq ft and pillarless: 1,000 at a standing reception, 300 at a seated banquet and 700 in theatre rows, per the hotel's capacity chart (checked 11 September 2026). It divides into Ballroom 1 (1,961 sq ft), Ballroom 2 (1,827) and Ballroom 3 (1,959), so the same room can host a 150-guest mehendi and a 600-guest reception on different days.

The hotel publishes 1,102 sq m, about 11,860 sq ft, across nine event rooms and five breakout rooms. Beyond the ballroom and its three sections, that covers the Junior Ballroom (1,724 sq ft, 120 at a reception), Tasar and Eri (1,496 sq ft, 100) and Mulberry (523 sq ft). BANG and the pool deck sit above them.

277 rooms and suites, per the hotel's own overview page, which says they are the largest guest rooms in the city; its WedMeGood listing says 273. Every function sits in the same building, so elders and overseas guests go from room to muhurtham to reception by lift. Negotiate a later-than-standard block release, because overseas guests book late.

Two spaces, and neither is a lawn. BANG is the hotel's rooftop bar with an open terrace over the skyline, which the WedMeGood listing names for cocktail receptions, sangeets and mehendis. The wellness floor has an outdoor pool screened by jaali walls, shown in listing photographs with a ceremony platform beside it. Neither publishes a capacity.

Yes, with hotel approval alongside its empanelled list; the hotel also offers its own florals, decor and lighting. Settle three things in writing before anything is fabricated: any access fee, the load-in and load-out windows, and the ballroom's rigging and ceiling-load rules. Measure the service lift too, because it caps the size of any single built piece.

No. Catering is in-house, which is why the space itself carries no rental. Menus are built with the hotel's chefs at a tasting, including regional, Jain (no onion, garlic or root vegetables) and sattvic. The hotel runs nine restaurants and bars, including Zarqash by Michelin-starred chef Rohit Ghai. Put any Jain or allergy needs into the contract.

Yes, served by the hotel. The bar is licensed and billed separately from the plate, either per bottle or as a package, per the hotel's events page and WedMeGood listing (checked 11 September 2026). Ask for both prices side by side for your guest count, and for any corkage terms in writing, before you fix the menu tier.

There isn't one to budget, because the wedding spaces are indoors and air-conditioned. A June-to-September date needs no tent and no weather call. Only the rooftop terrace and the pool deck are exposed, so if your programme uses either, agree the indoor fallback room and the time of the weather call in writing.

Indoors, later than at any lawn venue. Bengaluru's 10 pm rule on outdoor amplified sound ends lawn sangeets, but the ballroom runs under the hotel's own licence, so the dance floor can carry on; confirm the indoor cut-off for your date in writing. The rooftop terrace and pool deck are outdoors and do fall under the 10 pm rule.

Kempegowda International Airport is about 35 km, 60 to 90 minutes by road depending on the hour. Cubbon Park and MG Road metro stations are about ten minutes away, and Indiranagar, Koramangala and Jayanagar are 15 to 25 minutes off-peak. For a Friday evening function, put the metro station on the invitation.

Yes. All 277 rooms and every function space sit in one air-conditioned building served by lifts, so elders move from room to muhurtham to reception without crossing a lawn or facing sun or rain. Ask for rooms near the ballroom lifts for the eldest family members, and keep a quiet family lounge near each function.

Yes. Mandap, havan and an early muhurtham all run here, with open-flame placement agreed in advance under the hotel's ventilation and fire-safety rules, so check those before the mandap is drawn. Early muhurthams are practical because the family already sleeps upstairs, and the kitchen runs breakfast and the lunch banquet in the same building.

Included: the function space against its minimum guarantee, the banquet menu, service staff and the standard banquet set-up. Not included: 18% GST, the bar, rooms, decor and mandap, lighting, entertainment, photography, extra power for a large build, and planning. Ask for the current package sheet for your date instead of relying on any figure online, ours included.

Choose the Ritz-Carlton for an indoor, weather-proof programme in one lift-served building on Residency Road; The Leela Palace Bengaluru on HAL Old Airport Road for 357 rooms behind a palace facade; Taj West End on Race Course Road for its garden. The Ritz's ballroom seats 300 at a banquet, so an 800-seat dinner needs another hotel.

4.8 out of 5 from 9 reviews on its WedMeGood listing (checked 11 September 2026). Nine reviews is a small sample, so read them for what matters at a wedding: how the banquet team followed through, how the tasting went, and how fast the ballroom was turned round between functions.

Families set on an open-lawn ceremony, since this is a tower with a rooftop. Guest lists above 1,000 for a reception, or above 300 at a single seated banquet. Families who need their own caterer, since catering is in-house only. And anyone budgeting from the plate rate alone, because the minimum guarantee, the bar and GST decide the real total.

Yes. Panigrahana plans and designs weddings at The Ritz-Carlton Bangalore, working with the hotel's approval process for outside design teams. Bangalore is one of our home markets, and our in-house team has planned weddings since 2018. We take no vendor commission, and you pay the hotel directly for the venue, catering and 277-room block.
