Designed, not just planned

How we would design a wedding at Vivanta Trivandrum

City banquet hall: one stage wall, warm light; the panel executes the studio's drawings.

Which function goes where

Haldi	The poolside in the morning.
Mehendi	A small hall with controlled light.
Sangeet	The ballroom with a stage and dance floor.
Wedding ceremony	The ballroom in rows or at rounds — confirm the chart.
Reception	The ballroom — up to 1,000 (listing).

Season and weather

November to February is the dry window for the lawn; the ballroom runs year-round. The south-west monsoon (June to September) moves functions indoors, where the ballroom seats 150, so a monsoon wedding here should stay compact.

Arrivals, access and logistics

The hotel is in Thycaud, central Thiruvananthapuram, with the airport a short drive away. 137 rooms hold the block. Outdoor amplified sound stops at 10 pm, so a lawn reception is timed to that.
