Vivanta Residency Road Wedding Venue, Bangalore

The rental is listed at ₹2,25,000 per function, taxes extra, checked 11 September 2026. No plate rate is currently published; Panigrahana's existing record carries a historic ₹3,000–₹5,500 band. Catering is in-house only, so ask for the current menu tiers with per-plate rates in writing along with the rental.

Gardenside, at 235 seated and 300 floating, is the only wedding-scale space. The other three listed rooms are meeting rooms at 40, 15 and 15 seated. So the real ceiling is 235 seated, and Panigrahana's existing record of 100–1,200 does not reflect the current listing.

It is the hotel's indoor-and-outdoor function space, listed at 235 seated and 300 floating, built around a walled garden courtyard with mature trees and a rock-and-water feature. A real planted garden inside a Central Bangalore hotel is rare, and it is the reason to consider this venue over a ballroom.

The listing records in-house decor, which means the hotel's own team unless they agree otherwise. Ask whether an outside studio is permitted and at what fee before you commit — on a property whose main asset is a garden, the design decision is whether that garden is used well or generically.

No. The listing records in-house catering only, covering vegetarian and non-vegetarian, prepared by the hotel's own culinary team. Ask for the full menus and tier pricing rather than a headline rate, since on an in-house-only property the menu tier is the entire food negotiation.

No. The listing records an in-house DJ as available and outside DJs as not permitted. Ask what the in-house package covers in sound and lighting, and whether a live band is treated differently from a DJ — some hotels distinguish the two even where the written policy does not.

Ninety-eight rooms are listed. For a wedding of around 200 guests with a travelling contingent, that covers a substantial part of the block in the same building as the function, minutes from MG Road. Negotiate the room block and the catering together rather than separately.

The listing records in-house alcohol as available and outside alcohol as not permitted, which is standard for a five-star. The bar runs on the hotel's list and pricing. Ask for per-drink or per-hour package rates and the close time — this is a dense central location and the outdoor cut-off will be early.

Gardenside is described as an indoor-and-outdoor space, so part of the 235 seats are already under cover. Ask exactly how many, because that number, not the headline figure, is your wet-weather capacity. There is no second space of any size to fall back on.

On Residency Road at Srinivas Nagar, Shanthala Nagar, Ashok Nagar — Central Bangalore, minutes from MG Road and Brigade Road. It is one of the few venues in this comparison set that a guest list spread across the city can reach without planning a journey. Plan drop-off around the evening peak.

No. They are separate Taj-group hotels. Vivanta Bengaluru, Residency Road is in Central Bangalore with 98 rooms and a 235-seated Gardenside space; Vivanta Bengaluru, Whitefield is inside the ITPB campus on the east side with 199 rooms and different function spaces. Both appear in this roster and are treated separately.

Five things in writing: whether an outside decorator is permitted and at what fee; the current menu tiers and plate rates; how many of Gardenside's 235 seats are under cover; the room block rate and release date against 98 rooms; and the outdoor sound cut-off time for a central-city garden.
