Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Catering at Le Méridien Kochi is ₹4,000–₹7,000 per plate and the venue hosts 100–1500 guests. On top of food and beverage, budget for decor (₹2–30 lakhs depending on tier), rooms, photography and entertainment. Panigrahana prepares a free line-item budget for your exact guest count and functions.
Panigrahana's decor packages start around ₹2–5 lakhs for a clean, minimal setup and run to ₹15–30 lakhs for full luxury production — architectural mandap, large floral installations and complete lighting design. The venue's spaces decide what is possible; the budget decides how far we take it.
The usual additions beyond the per-plate rate are venue or space fees, alcohol and bar service, room blocks, vendor meals, power/generator charges for outdoor setups, and taxes. Panigrahana's quotes are line-item so every cost is visible before you sign anything.
Venues in Kerala are generally more negotiable outside the peak window (November to February). Savings of 15–30% on venue and room rates are realistic off-peak, with the trade-off of weather planning. We time-shift dates where it makes sense for the budget.
