Designed, not just planned
How we would design a wedding at The Elephant Court
Planning the wedding decor at The Elephant Court
The venue’s current external-decorator policy needs confirmation. Start with that approval before choosing a mandap or commissioning fabrication. Our design brief brings together the ceremony, reception, guest movement and the practical setup schedule.
The function layout
Ask for measured plans of your chosen spaces. Mark the mandap, stage, dining, guest entrance and service access on the same drawing so that every function has a workable flow.
The room’s working limits
For an indoor function at The Elephant Court, establish ceiling height, permitted fixing points, loading access and power before detailing suspended florals, lighting or a stage. Ask which finishes must be protected during installation.
Production and permissions
Confirm the permitted installation and dismantling hours, power supply, vendor entry procedure, storage and waste removal. Ceremonial fire, special effects and sound each need the property’s written approval where relevant.

Planning notes for The Elephant Court
Rooms, arrivals and the guest experience
The Elephant Court lists 65 rooms. For a simple planning exercise, that would mean space for 130 people at two per room if every room were available and double occupancy applied. The actual room block, occupancy and room categories need confirmation.
Build a rooming list alongside flight arrivals and function timings. Keep early check-ins, accessible rooms, children’s arrangements and vendor accommodation visible in the brief so they do not become last-minute additions.
