About Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa
Sheraton Hua Hin is the convention-scale beach resort of the Hua Hin coast: The Chandelier ballroom seats 480 at rounds and takes 800 standing, the Grand Ballroom another 280, and an oceanfront lawn takes the ceremony — 17,600 sq ft of event space three hours from Bangkok. For an Indian wedding of 300 to 700 that wants a Thai beach without the Phuket flight, and a ballroom for everyone, it is the coast's answer.
Panigrahana designs the oceanfront lawn for sunset and The Chandelier for a wide stage, and plans the Bangkok–Hua Hin transfer as a function in its own right.
- The Chandelier — 9,558 sq ft, 480 at rounds / 800 reception, the largest ballroom on the Hua Hin coast (Marriott)
- Grand Ballroom — 280 at rounds / 500 reception (Marriott)
- Oceanfront lawn, gardens and poolside for the ceremony
- Three hours from Bangkok by road

Where Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa is
Asked and answered
Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa wedding questions
How many guests can Sheraton Hua Hin hold for a wedding?
Marriott's chart lists The Chandelier at 9,558 sq ft for 480 at banquet rounds and 800 at a reception, the Grand Ballroom at 280 / 500 and the State Rooms at 40–80, with 17,600 sq ft of event space and an oceanfront lawn for the ceremony.
Does Panigrahana plan Indian weddings at Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa?
Yes. Panigrahana Weddings is an independent Indian wedding planning and design studio based in Bangalore that produces destination weddings in Thailand, Bali and Europe as well as Bangalore, Goa and Kerala; we design and produce the wedding, and the resort takes the booking. Send your dates and guest count and we check availability with Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa.
Can we bring our own decorator to Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa?
Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa, Cha-Am, Thailand: decorator rules differ from venue to venue (in-house only, a panel, or outside decorators against an access fee), so ask the resort for its policy in writing. Panigrahana handles the approval, load-in timing and setup coordination, with decor load-in typically 24–48 hours before the first function. The result is a mandap and set designed for Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa's actual dimensions rather than a catalogue package.
What are the best months for a wedding at Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa?
Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa, Cha-Am, Thailand: the best wedding months are November to April. Thailand's cool-dry months are the most reliable for beach ceremonies in Phuket and Koh Samui; May–October brings the green season with afternoon showers. Peak dates in that window are booked 9–12 months out, so families fixing a muhurtham should hold the date early. Panigrahana checks Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa availability for your shortlisted dates and advises on shoulder-month pricing.
How far in advance should we book Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa?
Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa, Cha-Am, Thailand: only the venue can say which dates are already held, so ask before anything else; muhurtham weekends are the ones several families chase at once. Panigrahana's guidance is to fix the guest count and function list first, then hold Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa with a written date-block while the estimate is finalised. Send us your dates and we check them with the venue and reply within 24 hours.
Can we plan a wedding at Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa from the US, UK, UAE or Australia?
Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa, Cha-Am, Thailand, is bookable and plannable entirely from abroad: Panigrahana has planned 300 weddings for families living overseas across 12 countries. The process is a live video walkthrough of Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa, pricing in INR with a live USD/GBP/AED equivalent, a contract in INR so the agreed amount carries no exchange-rate risk, milestone payments, and approvals inside Panigrahana's couple portal. About half these couples arrive only for the wedding week; the rest make one focused India trip of about seven days.
Can we hold a Hindu ceremony and mandap at Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa?
Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa, Cha-Am, Thailand: Panigrahana designs and builds the mandap in-house and coordinates pandits, Indian caterers and specialist vendors for weddings abroad. Venue approvals and property-specific requirements, including open flame for the havan, are settled during booking so the ceremony runs exactly as it would at home. One planning team handles both the ritual sequence and the destination logistics for Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa.
What does a wedding package at Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa include and exclude?
Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa, Cha-Am, Thailand: a venue package typically includes the space and, where the venue caters, the food, and a negotiated room block from its 240 rooms. It usually excludes decor and mandap, entertainment, photography, pandit, outside catering fees, generator top-ups, service charge and GST. Panigrahana's flat planning fee quoted for the agreed scope covers planning and in-house design, with no vendor commissions, so the estimate for Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa shows every line.
How does Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa compare with similar Thailand venues?
Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa, Cha-Am, Thailand, hosting up to 400 guests, is most often shortlisted against Hyatt Regency Phuket (up to 400 guests) and JW Marriott Khao Lak Resort & Spa (up to 400 guests). All are Thailand hotel venues of similar scale, so the decision usually turns on room count, the catering policy and which space fits the mandap design. Panigrahana walks all three on one visit and sends a side-by-side estimate.
Is Sheraton Hua Hin a good venue for a large Indian wedding in Hua Hin?
Yes, it has the space. Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa lists The Chandelier, 888 sq m, at 480 for a banquet or 800 for a reception, a Grand Ballroom seating 280 more, and lawns by the sea for ceremonies. It markets Indian weddings with Indian-style menus and has 240 rooms on Cha-am beach, about 200 km or a 2.5-hour drive south of Bangkok. Hua Hin Airport is about 5.5 km away.
What are the best wedding venues in Hua Hin for an Indian wedding?
Two Hua Hin coast resorts to start with for a large Indian wedding. Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa in Cha-am has The Chandelier ballroom, seating 480 at a banquet or 800 at a reception, and markets Indian weddings with Indian-style menus. Dusit Thani Hua Hin lists a Lagoon Lawn for up to 1,000 guests and a beach that seats 100. For a smaller wedding, compare InterContinental Hua Hin, which we cover on its own page.
Can you have an Indian wedding at Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa?
Yes. Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa sells Indian weddings alongside Thai and Western packages, with food and beverage packages built on Indian-style or modern menus, and dinner receptions by the lagoon, in the garden or by the sea. Its indoor rooms run from State Rooms for 40 to The Chandelier for 800, and its gallery shows ceremonies on the Island Lawn and the Chill Out Lawn by the sea. The packages carry no published price.
Is Sheraton Hua Hin in Hua Hin or Cha-am?
Both names apply. Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa's address is 1573 Petchkasem Road, Tambon Cha-Am, Hua Hin 76120, on Cha-am beach on the Gulf of Thailand. Marriott puts Hua Hin town 15 to 20 minutes away by road and Bangkok about 200 km to the north. People also search for it as Sheraton Hua Hin or Sheraton Cha-am, and it is booked through Marriott as a Sheraton hotel.
What are the wedding venues at Sheraton Hua Hin and how many guests do they hold?
Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa has 1,568 sq m of event space. The Chandelier, 888 sq m, seats 480 at a banquet or 800 at a reception and splits into two halves seating 240 each. The Grand Ballroom, 525 sq m, seats 280 or takes 500 standing, and splits into two rooms of 120 seated. State Rooms seat 40 to 80. Outdoors, the Oceanfront Lawn, Island Lawn and Chill Out Lawn host ceremonies; Marriott gives no capacity for them.
Can Sheraton Hua Hin host an Indian wedding for 500 guests?
Yes. The Chandelier takes 800 at a reception and seats 480 at banquet tables, so a 500-guest sangeet works with a mix of round tables and standing room, and the Grand Ballroom, seating 280, can hold a second function the same day. Ask for floor plans with the stage and dance floor drawn in, the lawn capacities in writing, and the room block from the resort's 240 rooms on the same contract.
How much does an Indian wedding at Sheraton Hua Hin cost?
Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa does not publish wedding prices. It offers Indian weddings, Thai and Western wedding packages, and food and beverage packages with Indian-style menus, so expect a per-person price for each function set against a minimum spend, with any shortfall negotiable, plus rooms and transfers from Bangkok. Our decor starts from ₹5 lakh plus GST; send us your dates and guest count and we ask the resort for a written quote.
What should a quote for a 200-guest Indian wedding at Sheraton Hua Hin include?
Ask Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa to quote each function separately: the pheras on a sea-facing lawn, the sangeet in the Grand Ballroom, which seats 280, and the reception in The Chandelier, which seats 480, each with an Indian-style menu at a per-person rate. Add a rain-plan ballroom, sound and staging, the room block from 240 rooms, and coaches for the 200 km from Bangkok. Then compare the total line by line with a second resort.
Where would the mandap, haldi, mehendi and sangeet go at Sheraton Hua Hin?
At Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa we would set the mandap on the Oceanfront Lawn or the Island Lawn for a sea-facing ceremony, the haldi by the 560-metre lagoon pool in the morning, and the mehendi in Ballroom 1, which seats 120. The sangeet suits the Grand Ballroom, seating 280, and the reception The Chandelier, seating 480. Hold a ballroom as the rain plan, and get the havan fire approved in writing.
Can we have a baraat at Sheraton Hua Hin?
Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa does not publish rules for a baraat. Its grounds have three paved outdoor function venues and a winding walkway from the open-air lobby to the lagoon pool and lawns, so plan the procession route with the events team. Ask whether a dhol, a horse or a decorated car is allowed, the time window and the sound limit, and put the answers in writing before you print the itinerary.
Does Sheraton Hua Hin serve Indian food for weddings?
Yes. Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa's events page offers food and beverage packages with Indian-style or modern menus for weddings, and lists Indian weddings among its wedding offers. The resort's restaurants are Salas Pool Restaurant for Italian food, Luna Lanai for Thai on the beach, The Deck for breakfast and Sundara Sports Lounge. Ask for an Indian vegetarian and non-vegetarian menu for each function, and a tasting before you sign.
Can we have a DJ for the sangeet at Sheraton Hua Hin, and when does music stop?
Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa lists a portable stage, spotlights and a PA system among its event services, and its overview mentions a nightclub alongside the ballrooms, so a DJ sangeet is workable. Marriott does not publish a music end time for events. Ask for the latest time for amplified music on the lawns and in the ballrooms, and write both answers into the contract.
How many rooms does Sheraton Hua Hin have for wedding guests?
Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa has 240 rooms, each with a private balcony or terrace, including pool-access rooms whose terraces open onto the lagoon pool, and oceanfront suites. Check-in is at 3 pm and check-out at 12 pm, and on-site and valet parking are free. Ask for the wedding room block early, and keep the pool-access rooms for families who want the pool between functions.
How far is Sheraton Hua Hin from Bangkok and the airport?
Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa is about 200 km south of Bangkok, a 2.5-hour drive according to Marriott, and Hua Hin Airport (HHQ) is about 5.5 km away. Guests flying into Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) then travel down by road, so book coaches by arrival flight and keep the arrival day light. The resort lists no shuttle to Hua Hin Airport, so arrange that pickup in advance.
Do Indian guests need a visa for a wedding at Sheraton Hua Hin?
Indian passport holders can visit Thailand visa-free for tourism for up to 30 days under rules in force since 15 September 2026, the Tourism Authority of Thailand says, replacing the earlier 60-day exemption. That covers a wedding week in Hua Hin. Guests flying into Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) then drive about 200 km to the resort. Ask every guest to check the official Thai e-visa site before booking.
Sheraton Hua Hin or Dusit Thani Hua Hin for an Indian wedding?
Choose Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa if most functions will be indoors: The Chandelier seats 480 at a banquet and takes 800 at a reception, and the Grand Ballroom adds 280 seats. Choose Dusit Thani Hua Hin for a big outdoor reception: its Lagoon Lawn takes up to 1,000 guests and its beach seats 100. Both are on the Hua Hin coast, so ask each for a quote on the same dates.
What is the phone number of Sheraton Hua Hin for weddings?
Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa's phone is +66 32 708000, and the address is 1573 Petchkasem Road, Tambon Cha-Am, Hua Hin 76120, Thailand. Ask for the events team. If you want a planner to check your dates and spaces with the resort, send us your dates and guest count; we reply within 24 hours.
Where can I see photos of weddings at Sheraton Hua Hin?
Marriott's photo gallery for Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa has a Weddings section with a Thai wedding ceremony in The Chandelier, a ceremony on the Island Lawn, a wedding by the sea on the Chill Out Lawn and a beach wedding. Panigrahana has not published photographs from a wedding at this resort. Ask the events team for photos of an Indian setup in The Chandelier at your guest count.
