About The Yellow House Goa
The Yellow House is IHCL's SeleQtions hotel in Anjuna: a restored century-old Portuguese villa with a modern wing, 49 rooms including one suite, and a pillarless indoor-outdoor ballroom, Elegancia, that takes 80 at a reception or 120 in theatre rows, according to the hotel's factsheet. It is a venue for a small wedding where most guests stay on site.
The numbers set the brief. With 49 rooms and a ballroom for 80, a wedding here is intimate by design; a list of 150 needs a larger venue in Anjuna or Vagator for the big evening, with The Yellow House as the family's base. The hotel publishes no wedding rate, so every quote starts from catering per plate and a room block.
Panigrahana is the planning and decor studio, not the hotel. We would design around the heritage wing and the Portuguese villa, use Elegancia's outdoor side for the evening, and plan the night around the 10 pm outdoor sound rule.

Designed, not just planned
How we would design a wedding at The Yellow House Goa
A heritage house, not a resort: the decor should sit inside the architecture rather than cover it. Work with the yellow walls and Portuguese detailing, keep the ballroom stage low and let Elegancia's outdoor side carry the evening light.
Which function goes where
| Haldi | A small morning haldi by the pool, if the hotel agrees. |
|---|---|
| Mehendi | Elegancia opened to its outdoor side, for a family mehendi of 60 to 80. |
| Sangeet | Elegancia for up to 80: music outdoors until 10 pm, indoors after that under the hotel's rules. |
| Wedding ceremony | Elegancia for a ceremony of up to 120 in rows, or a larger venue nearby for a bigger list. |
| Reception | Elegancia for 80, or dinner at Palette (54 covers) for the immediate family. |
Season and weather
November to February is Goa's dry, cooler season and the time for outdoor functions in Anjuna. The monsoon, June to September, keeps everything inside Elegancia. Christmas and New Year in North Goa book early.

Before you book
Planning notes for The Yellow House Goa
Is The Yellow House Goa the right venue for your wedding?
| Right for you if | Couples planning an intimate Goa wedding of 50 to 80 who want the whole family under one heritage roof in Anjuna, close to Mopa airport. |
|---|---|
| Look elsewhere if | A wedding of 150 or more, or one that needs a lawn by the sea: the ballroom takes 80 at a reception and the hotel has 49 rooms. W Goa in Vagator or Hard Rock Hotel Goa in Calangute hold larger numbers. |
| Planner tip | Ask the hotel three things in writing: whether a wedding can take the whole house (all 49 rooms), which outdoor areas Elegancia opens onto and what they seat, and the per-plate rate for a private dinner. Then decide whether the big evening stays here or moves to a larger venue nearby. |

It is an IHCL hotel in the group's SeleQtions collection, not a Taj-branded one; tajhotels.com lists it among IHCL's Goa hotels at House 1241, Gaonwadi, Anjuna (checked 27 September 2026). The nearest Taj resorts are Taj Holiday Village and Taj Fort Aguada, about 10 km away.
Is The Yellow House on the beach?
No. It is in Anjuna village, 1.2 km from Anjuna beach, about five minutes away, per the hotel's factsheet. A beach function needs a separate permitted venue, and on the sand Goa's coastal-zone rules and the 10 pm outdoor sound limit apply.
What time does the music stop at The Yellow House?
Outdoors, at 10 pm: the Noise Pollution Rules bar loudspeakers from 10 pm to 6 am except inside closed premises (CPCB), and North Goa's sound guidance lists timings up to 10 pm. Elegancia opens to the outdoors, so ask the hotel in writing how late it can run with the doors closed.
What is the best time of year for a wedding at The Yellow House?
November to February, Goa's dry and cooler months, when Elegancia's outdoor side and the pool can be used in the evening. From June to September the monsoon keeps everything inside the ballroom, which suits a wedding of 80 or fewer. Christmas and New Year in North Goa book early.
The Yellow House or La Estoria: which suits a small Goa wedding?
Both are IHCL SeleQtions hotels in North Goa. The Yellow House in Anjuna has 49 rooms and a ballroom for 80 at a reception (hotel factsheet). La Estoria in Candolim has 122 rooms, a Girasol 1 hall for 100 seated and a published ₹1,500 veg plate (WedMeGood). Pick The Yellow House for a smaller, heritage-house wedding.
Can we take over all of The Yellow House for our wedding?
The hotel publishes no buyout terms (checked 27 September 2026). With 49 rooms, a wedding party of about 100 fills the house at two to a room, so ask the hotel in writing for all 49 rooms on your dates, the rate per room and the release date for rooms you do not use.
Does Panigrahana plan weddings at The Yellow House?
We plan and design weddings across Goa; The Yellow House keeps the contract for rooms and food. Panigrahana Weddings is an independent planning and decor studio, not the hotel. Send your date and guest count and we check it with the property.
