Vivanta Residency Road Wedding Venue, Bangalore

Gardenside, the one wedding-size space, rents at ₹2,25,000 per function, taxes extra, on the WedMeGood listing (checked 27 September 2026). Food is on top: catering is in-house and no plate rate is published, so ask for current menus with per-plate rates alongside the rental.

No per-plate rate is published: the WedMeGood listing prints only the ₹2,25,000 rental per function (checked 27 September 2026). Catering is in-house only, vegetarian and non-vegetarian, so ask the banquet team for each menu tier in writing with taxes.

No package is published: the ₹2,25,000 rental per function on WedMeGood (checked 27 September 2026) is the only wedding price in print. Ask for one written proposal covering Gardenside, the menu tiers, the bar and the room block.

Up to 300: WedMeGood lists Gardenside at 235 seated and 300 floating, and Vivanta's events page gives it a maximum of 300 (checked 27 September 2026). The Corporate Room, Council and Committee Room take 15 to 80, so plan the main functions for 235 seated or fewer.

The hotel's main function space, listed as indoor and outdoor at 235 seated and 300 floating (WedMeGood, checked 27 September 2026). The listing's photographs show a walled garden courtyard with mature trees and a rock-and-water feature; ask how much of that garden Gardenside opens onto.

98 rooms and suites, on Vivanta's own page and WedMeGood (checked 27 September 2026); the hotel's 2026 Hotel Association of India entry splits them into 94 doubles and four suites. Negotiate the room block, group rate and release date together with the food.

Yes: IHCL's factsheet (August 2025, read 27 October 2026) calls it the erstwhile Gateway Hotel, a landmark for over three decades, now renovated as a Vivanta. Many people search it as Taj Vivanta. It is a different hotel from Taj MG Road, once Vivanta by Taj MG Road.

The WedMeGood listing records in-house decor (checked 27 September 2026), so the hotel's team leads the decor. Ask in writing how an outside design studio can work with that team, and at what fee, before you commit to the date.

No: the WedMeGood listing records in-house catering only, vegetarian and non-vegetarian (checked 27 September 2026). Ask for full menus with per-plate rates, and about Karavalli, the hotel's coastal restaurant since 1990 (IHCL factsheet), for a coastal menu at one function.

Yes, from the hotel's bar only: the WedMeGood listing records in-house alcohol and no outside alcohol (checked 27 September 2026). Ask for per-drink and per-hour package rates and the bar's close time for Gardenside.

Outdoor music has a hard stop at 10:30 pm in practice, as at every Bangalore venue we work at (Panigrahana booking records, October 2026), so plan the open part of Gardenside to that time. The DJ is in-house; outside DJs are not permitted on WedMeGood (checked 27 September 2026).

October to March, when the garden is dry; 57% of our Bangalore weddings in 2026 fall between November and February (booking records, 24 October 2026). In the monsoon, the covered part of Gardenside is your capacity, so ask how many of its 235 seats are indoors.

At 66 Residency Road, Bengaluru 560025, about 35 km from Kempegowda International Airport on the hotel's 2026 Hotel Association of India entry (checked 23 October 2026). MG Road metro, Church Street and Brigade Road are a short walk, so city guests can come by metro.

+91 80 6660 4545, on the hotel's 2026 Hotel Association of India entry (checked 23 October 2026), at 66 Residency Road, Bengaluru 560025. Ask for the banqueting team with your date, guest count and the spaces you want held.

No: they are separate IHCL hotels (Vivanta and WedMeGood, checked 27 September 2026). Vivanta Residency Road is central, with 98 rooms and Gardenside for 235 seated; Vivanta Whitefield sits at the International Tech Park, with 199 rooms, the Tango ballroom and Tease Lawns.

Both are central and close to that size in 2026: Vivanta's Gardenside seats 235 with part of it outdoors, with 98 rooms (WedMeGood; Vivanta), while Welcomhotel's pillar-free ballroom seats 170 at round tables, with 115 rooms (Cvent; ITC Hotels). Choose Vivanta for a garden, Welcomhotel for an indoor room.

Yes: Gardenside takes a mandap with up to 235 seated (WedMeGood, checked 27 September 2026), with the garden trees as the backdrop. Agree the havan fire, its base and the covered fallback with the banquet team in writing.

Fly into Kempegowda International Airport, about 35 km away (the hotel's 2026 Hotel Association of India entry); the 98 rooms and suites share the property with Gardenside, so family make one transfer. We walk Gardenside, the smaller rooms and the room categories with you on video and settle the decor arrangement in writing.

Five things, in writing, against the ₹2,25,000 rental on WedMeGood (checked 27 September 2026): how an outside decorator can work here and at what fee; menus and plate rates; how many of Gardenside's 235 seats are under cover; the room-block rate and release date; and the outdoor finish time.

Yes: Panigrahana plans and designs weddings at Vivanta Residency Road; our in-house team has planned 500+ weddings since 2018 (company facts, October 2026). The hotel handles Gardenside, food and rooms, and we agree the decor arrangement with its team before you commit.

Panigrahana Weddings can plan your wedding at Vivanta Bengaluru, Residency Road and build the decor with its own Bangalore team and workshop, and as of 31 October 2026 planning starts at ₹2 lakh a day for two events and decor at ₹5 lakh, both plus GST.
