Sam Palace is a large convention hall at Kothanur on K Narayanapura Main Road, opposite Legacy International School, in the Hennur–Bagalur belt that has grown fastest in north Bangalore over the last decade. It serves the neighbourhoods around it: Kothanur, Thanisandra, Hennur, Horamavu and Kalyan Nagar.
The hall is one room and it is big — 550 seated, 850 floating — with a mezzanine gallery running down both sides above the main floor. The ceiling is a grid of recessed lights with three chandeliers on the centre line, and the stage sits at the far end with a wide aisle running down to it. It is a room built for the standard shape of a South Indian wedding: everyone facing one way, dining lines at the back or in the adjoining space.
Almost everything is open here — caterers in or out, decorators outside, alcohol either way. At ₹750 a plate vegetarian with decor from ₹50,000, the listing puts it in the middle of the north Bangalore market, and the flexibility is what earns it a look against the mantapas nearby that fix both.
- Single hall rated 550 seated and 850 floating
- Mezzanine galleries on both sides of the main floor
- ₹750 veg / ₹850 non-veg per plate, decor from ₹50,000 (listing reference)
- Outside caterers and outside decorators both allowed
- Bar possible — in-house alcohol available, outside alcohol permitted
- Kothanur, in the Hennur–Bagalur belt of north Bangalore

Designed, not just planned
Wedding planning & decor at Sam Palace: how we would design it
The two galleries are the design opportunity and the constraint. They give you a second level to decorate and a set of elevated sightlines that most halls this size lack — a floral or light run along the balcony edge reads from every seat on the floor and gives the photographer a clean top-down aisle. They also mean the ceiling above the centre is high while the space under the galleries is low, so a single ceiling drape scheme will not sit correctly across the whole room; treat the centre nave and the side aisles as different spaces. The recessed ceiling grid throws flat cold light over everything, so a wedding here needs its own warm lighting plan or the photographs will be grey. The stage is fixed at the far end and the aisle is long, which suits a floral carpet or a rangoli run rather than a scattered petal path.
Which function goes where
| Haldi | Morning session in the hall if the venue sells sessions separately; there is no outdoor space. |
|---|---|
| Mehendi | Works in the hall, with the mezzanine giving the family somewhere to sit above the seated floor. |
| Sangeet | Good — the room is wide enough for a stage and a dance floor, and the galleries hold the audience that is not dancing. |
| Wedding ceremony | The main use. Mandap on the stage, guests on the floor, elders and photographers on the mezzanine. |
| Reception | A seated dinner on the floor with long tables, which is how the venue's own photographs show it laid out. |
Season and weather
Indoors and year-round. Confirm the cooling arrangement before an April or May date, since the listing does not record air conditioning.
Arrivals, access and logistics
K Narayanapura Main Road through Kothanur is congested at peak; a morning muhurtham avoids the worst. The forecourt is used for parking and appears in the venue's own photographs. No rooms on site — block a hotel on Hennur Road or Thanisandra for outstation guests.
An honest read
Is Sam Palace the right venue for your wedding?
| Right for you if | Kothanur, Hennur, Thanisandra and Kalyan Nagar families with 400–800 guests who want one large hall with open catering, decor and bar policies. |
|---|---|
| Look elsewhere if | Anyone wanting outdoor space, guest rooms, or an intimate room. |
| Planner tip | Confirm whether the plate rate applies when you bring an outside caterer. Venues that allow both usually charge a per-plate levy on outside catering, and it changes which option is actually cheaper. |

Asked and answered
Sam Palace wedding questions
How many guests can Sam Palace hold?
The WedMeGood listing rates the hall at 550 seated and 850 floating. It is a single room with mezzanine galleries on both sides, so the galleries add standing and viewing space rather than a second function area.
What does Sam Palace cost?
The listing reference is ₹750 per plate vegetarian and ₹850 non-vegetarian, taxes extra, with starting decor at ₹50,000, checked 11 September 2026. No hall rental figure is published on WedMeGood, so ask whether a rental applies on top of the plate rate.
Can I bring my own caterer to Sam Palace?
Yes. The listing records in-house and outside catering as both allowed. Ask what per-plate charge applies if you bring your own caterer — at venues that permit both, that levy usually decides which route is actually cheaper.
Can I use my own decorator at Sam Palace?
Yes, the listing records outside decorators as permitted, with in-house decor starting at ₹50,000 if you prefer to use theirs. Brief your decorator on the mezzanine galleries, because the centre of the hall is tall and the space under the galleries is not.
Is alcohol allowed at Sam Palace?
Yes, both ways. The listing records in-house alcohol as available and outside alcohol as permitted. Confirm corkage, the permitted service area and the cut-off time, particularly if you are planning a sangeet in a hall that sits close to schools and housing.
Where is Sam Palace?
On K Narayanapura Main Road at Kothanur, Bengaluru 560077, opposite Legacy International School, in the Hennur–Bagalur belt of north Bangalore. It is convenient for Kothanur, Thanisandra, Hennur, Horamavu and Kalyan Nagar.
Does Sam Palace have rooms?
No rooms are recorded on the WedMeGood listing. Some directory listings mention AC rooms on site; confirm directly with the venue. Either way, plan a hotel block on Hennur Road or Thanisandra for an outstation guest list.
Is there parking at Sam Palace?
The listing records parking as sufficient, and the hall's own photographs show a large forecourt used for parking, lit at night. For an 800-guest function, ask for the car count and whether valet is provided, because the approach road is narrow.
Is Sam Palace air-conditioned?
The listing does not say. The hall is a large enclosed room with a recessed-light ceiling. Get the cooling arrangement in writing before booking an April or May date — with 550 people seated, it is the single biggest comfort variable.
What is the hall at Sam Palace like?
One very large room with a stage at the far end, a wide central aisle, and mezzanine galleries running along both sides above the main floor. The ceiling carries a grid of recessed lights with three chandeliers down the centre. It is a straightforward, functional wedding hall at scale.
Is Sam Palace a vegetarian-only venue?
No. The listing publishes both vegetarian and non-vegetarian plate rates and permits outside catering, so both menus are possible. That is worth noting, because several large halls in this part of north Bangalore are vegetarian-only.
How is Sam Palace rated?
WedMeGood shows a single 5.0 review as of 11 September 2026, which is not a usable sample. Other local directories carry larger review counts at lower averages. Visit during a function and ask how the kitchen and the parking handle a full hall.
