About The St. Regis Goa
The St. Regis Goa Resort is the luxury resort on the Cavelossim peninsula that was The Leela Goa: between the Sal river and Mobor beach, with 206 rooms including 46 suites, and a set of outdoor rooms that Marriott's chart sizes precisely: the Great Lawns for 400 at dinner rounds, the beach itself for a seasonal ceremony of 350, Coconut Grove for a reception of 150, the Riverside Lawns for a river-side dinner of 88. For a family that wants the St. Regis butler service and the South Goa beach in one property, it is the address.
Indoors, the Glasshouse (about 11,800 sq ft) takes 350 at rounds and 600 standing, and the Astor Ballroom (about 6,640 sq ft) 180 at rounds and 350 standing. Between them the resort has a real rain plan and a sangeet room, though the wedding itself is designed for the lawns and the beach in the dry months.
Panigrahana designs it as a sequence of outdoor rooms — river, grove, lawn, beach — each with its own light, with engineered structures for the sea wind and the 10 pm outdoor cut-off as the cue to move indoors.

Designed, not just planned
How we would design a wedding at The St. Regis Goa
River, grove, lawn, beach: each outdoor room has a different light and wind. Keep structures low and engineered, the palette pale against the sea, and light the long walks between venues. The Astor Ballroom is a compact luxury room — one stage wall, lit ceiling.
Which function goes where
| Haldi | The Riverside Lawns in the morning (88 at rounds). |
|---|---|
| Mehendi | Coconut Grove under the palms (150 standing), Caroline Astor as the wet-weather room. |
| Sangeet | The Glasshouse (350 at rounds / 600 standing) or the Astor Ballroom (180 / 350) with a stage and dance floor. |
| Wedding ceremony | The Beach at sunset in season (350 at rounds) or the Great Lawns, with the Glasshouse as the written rain plan. |
| Reception | The Great Lawns — 400 at rounds, 600 standing. |
Season and weather
November to February for the Great Lawns and the seasonal beach venue, and 20 of the 24 Goa weddings couples booked with Panigrahana in 2026 fall in those months (booking records, 24 October 2026). October and March work with shade. The southwest monsoon runs June to September; the Glasshouse (350 at rounds) and the Astor Ballroom carry the programme then. Christmas and New Year go a year ahead.
Arrivals, access and logistics
Dabolim (GOI) is about 60 minutes' drive away by the resort's opening announcement, and Cvent lists the nearest airport at 37 km; Mopa (GOX) is at the far northern end of the state. Overflow rooms sit along the Cavelossim strip. Confirm the 10 pm outdoor sound rule and the beach venue's seasonal dates.
The St. Regis Goa policies
| Outside decorators | Outside decorators permitted, per the WedMeGood listing. Confirm the rules for structures on the lawns and the seasonal beach venue in writing. No outside-vendor fee: Panigrahana's booking records show none at five-star hotels other than Royal Orchid (October 2026). |
|---|---|
| Catering | In-house catering only, per the WedMeGood listing |
| Alcohol | The bar is in-house; outside alcohol is not permitted (WedMeGood listing). |
| Music and DJ | In-house DJ available and outside DJs permitted (WedMeGood listing). Outdoor amplified sound stops at 10 pm: the Noise Pollution Rules bar loudspeakers from 10 pm to 6 am except inside closed premises such as banquet halls (CPCB). The late party moves to the Astor Ballroom or the Glasshouse; the hotel sets its own closing time, so get it in writing. |
| Music curfew | Outdoor amplified sound stops at 10 pm (CPCB noise rules); indoor rooms run later under the hotel's rules. |
| Fireworks and effects | Marriott's events page describes parties "complete with fireworks on the beach", so the resort has hosted them. Your date still needs the resort's written consent and the licensed operator's permissions before fireworks go into the design. |

Official venue information · Checked 16 September 2026
What should we confirm before designing a St. Regis Goa beach wedding?
Name the precise ceremony location in the proposal. A beachfront resort setting does not by itself confirm permission to build on the beach. Ask the resort to approve the footprint, access, structures, power, setup window and weather alternative before the design becomes a production order.
Confirm the room block by category and night, and keep airport transfers and vendor accommodation separate from the banquet estimate.

Is The St. Regis Goa the right venue for your wedding?
| Right for you if | Families of 150 to 450 who want a luxury South Goa beach wedding with river, grove and beach settings, St. Regis butler service for their guests, and a covered Glasshouse that seats 350 at rounds if the weather turns. |
|---|---|
| Look elsewhere if | A 600-plus seated wedding; the largest spaces take 400 at rounds outdoors and 350 under cover. |
| Planner tip | Book the outdoor rooms by function from Marriott's chart with the Glasshouse or the Astor Ballroom named as the rain plan in every case, and confirm the beach venue's season and permissions for your date before you plan a sand ceremony. |
Where The St. Regis Goa is
The St. Regis Goa Resort, Mobor, Cavelossim, Salcete, Goa 403731, India
Planning a wedding at The St. Regis Goa from abroad
The St. Regis Goa is about 37 km from Goa International Airport, Dabolim (GOI), around 60 minutes by road. 206 rooms ≈ 412 guests at two a room. A 150-guest block at two a room needs 75 rooms, which fits on site if the venue releases that many rooms for your dates. Lindsay and Dharmin, an American bride and an Indian groom, married here with two full ceremonies: read their story.
Route guests into Dabolim (GOI); Mopa (GOX) in the far north is a much longer transfer. The 206 rooms and suites come with St. Regis butler service, so a residential wedding can stay on the peninsula. November to February is the window most of our Goa couples choose, and the beach venue is seasonal. A video walkthrough should cover the Great Lawns, the Glasshouse as the rain plan, the beach set-up point and the walk from the rooms.
| Season | November to February for the Great Lawns and the seasonal beach venue, and 20 of the 24 Goa weddings couples booked with Panigrahana in 2026 fall in those months (booking records, 24 October 2026). |

What families usually ask about The St. Regis Goa
Families usually ask where the mandap and the fire can go: on the Great Lawns, by the Sal river or on the seasonal beach, with the havan and every structure agreed with the resort in writing. Catering is in-house only, so taste the traditional menu with the resort's chefs before you sign. The settings are spread across the estate, so ask for buggies and step-free routes for elders. The family can stay together in the 206 rooms, with butler service.

No package price is published: Marriott's events page mentions wedding packages without prices and lists catering at ₹14,999 a person for a dinner (checked 25 October 2026). Ask for a written proposal that sets out the room block, each function's menu and any buyout terms for your dates.

The Astor Ballroom is 6,641 sq ft with a 1,649 sq ft foyer, and takes 180 at banquet rounds or 350 at a reception (Marriott's chart, checked 25 October 2026). It is the sangeet and late-party room; for more covered space, the 11,845 sq ft Glasshouse seats 350 at rounds.
How many rooms does The St. Regis Goa have?
The St. Regis Goa has 206 rooms including 46 suites, per the resort's opening announcement (November 2022) and WedMeGood (checked 27 September 2026), which shows ₹50,000 as its room-price figure. Ask for the exact block the resort can hold for your dates.
Can we bring our own decorator to The St. Regis Goa?
Yes: the resort's WedMeGood listing permits outside decorators (checked 27 September 2026), and Panigrahana's booking records show no outside-vendor fee at five-star hotels of its kind (October 2026). Get the structure, rigging and load-in rules for the lawns and the seasonal beach in writing before anything is fabricated.
Can we use an outside caterer at The St. Regis Goa?
No: catering is in-house only, per the WedMeGood listing (checked 27 September 2026), at the ₹14,999 a person dinner rate Marriott's events page lists. Outside decorators are allowed, so the design can come from your own studio while the food stays with the resort's kitchens.
Can we bring outside alcohol to The St. Regis Goa?
No: the bar is in-house and outside alcohol is not permitted, per the WedMeGood listing (checked 27 September 2026). Ask for the bar packages per head in writing, function by function, before you sign, and add them to the dinner rate when you compare resorts.
What is the music curfew at The St. Regis Goa?
Outdoors, amplified sound stops at 10 pm: the Noise Pollution Rules bar loudspeakers from 10 pm to 6 am outside closed premises (CPCB, checked 26 September 2026). The lawn or beach dinner ends its music at 10, and the party moves to the Astor Ballroom or the Glasshouse; agree the indoor closing time in writing.
What is the best month for a wedding at The St. Regis Goa?
November to February: 20 of the 24 Goa weddings couples booked with Panigrahana in 2026 fall in those months (booking records, 24 October 2026), when the seasonal beach venue and the Great Lawns are at their best. October and March work with shade; in the monsoon the Glasshouse seats 350 at rounds under cover.
Can we have a beach wedding at The St. Regis Goa?
Yes, in season: Marriott's chart lists The Beach (Seasonal) at 32,809 sq ft for 350 at rounds or 500 at a reception (checked 25 October 2026), on Mobor beach between the Sal river and the sea. Confirm its dates, the rules for structures on the sand and the Glasshouse as the rain plan.
Does The St. Regis Goa on Mobor beach have butler service for wedding guests?
Yes: the resort's opening announcement (November 2022) lists the St. Regis Butler service for guests across its 206 rooms on Mobor beach, sometimes spelt Morbor, at Cavelossim. For a wedding, agree in writing what the butlers handle for the family, such as arrivals, outfits and the welcome, so it fits the run-sheet.
Is The St. Regis Goa the old Leela Goa?
Yes: Marriott converted The Leela Goa at Mobor, Cavelossim into The St. Regis Goa Resort, announced in April 2022 and opened as the brand's second hotel in India in late 2022. Older WedMeGood reviews on the listing still name The Leela Goa, and The Leela's own site lists no Goa hotel (checked 26 September 2026).
Is there still a Leela resort in Goa for a wedding?
No: The Leela's website lists no Goa hotel (checked 26 September 2026), and its old resort at Mobor is now The St. Regis Goa. In our service area The Leela runs The Leela Kovalam and The Leela Ashtamudi in Kerala, and The Leela Palace Bengaluru and The Leela Bhartiya City in Bangalore.
How far is The St. Regis Goa from the airport?
About 60 minutes' drive from Goa International Airport at Dabolim, per the resort's opening announcement (November 2022); Cvent lists it at 37 km. Mopa (GOX) in the far north is a much longer transfer, so route guest flights into Dabolim where you can.
Who plans weddings at The St. Regis Goa?
The resort's Marriott Certified Wedding Planners handle its side (Marriott events page, checked 25 October 2026), and Panigrahana is an independent planning and design studio that designs and runs the wedding with them. We planned Lindsay and Dharmin's 250-guest wedding here, with a South Indian mandap built on the sand.
What does wedding decor cost at The St. Regis Goa?
Panigrahana's decor starts at ₹5 lakh plus GST, and the mandaps we built over the past year ran ₹3 to 4 lakh for a signature design and ₹9 to 15 lakh for a statement one (founder figures, October 2026). A mandap on the sand needs an engineered base and a wind rating, which the build budget carries.
The St. Regis Goa vs Taj Exotica: which is better for a wedding?
The St. Regis Goa has 206 rooms, the Great Lawns for 600 at a reception and the covered Glasshouse for 600 (Marriott chart, checked 25 October 2026), while Taj Exotica at Benaulim has the larger beach lawn and fewer rooms. Both are South Goa beach resorts: the St. Regis is stronger under cover, and Taj holds more on the lawn.
Does the St. Regis Goa quote include food?
St. Regis room quotes are usually on the AP plan. On the AP plan (stay plus breakfast, lunch and dinner), rooms at The St. Regis Goa run about ₹65,000 to ₹85,000 per room per night (founder-confirmed, November 2026). Hi-tea and starters are not included; adding them can raise the price by about ₹8,000 to ₹10,000 for two people on a double-occupancy room (quoted Oct 2026).
Which wedding planner and decorator works at St Regis Goa?
Panigrahana Weddings plans and decorates weddings at St Regis Goa, with published weddings of 180 guests in January 2024 for a family from Mumbai, and 250 guests for a family from the USA and India, and as of 31 October 2026 planning starts at ₹2 lakh a day for two events and decor at ₹5 lakh, both plus GST.
What do guest rooms cost at The St. Regis Goa?
The St Regis Goa shows ₹50,000 as its room-price figure on WedMeGood (checked 25 October 2026), so at 18% GST a block of 40 rooms for two nights is about ₹40 lakh before tax and ₹47.2 lakh with it, as of 8 November 2026.
