The short answer: a 300-guest, two-function wedding in Bangalore costs ₹18–48 lakh in catering alone at a five-star hotel (₹3,000–₹8,000 per plate, venue included above the plate floor), ₹25 lakh all-in for a day at The Tamarind Tree, and ₹45–79 lakh all-in at JW Marriott Golfshire. Rooms and decor — ₹12–20 lakh at the Luxury tier for two to three functions — sit on top. Twelve venues below, with the arithmetic shown.
At 300 guests you are past the point where any garden estate fits by default and well short of where only a convention ballroom will do. Every central five-star handles it; so do the best estates on a single day. The table gives capacity, the per-plate band or day rental from our venue database, and an indicative total for 300 guests over two functions — per plate × 300 × 2, or rental plus catering — before rooms, decor and taxes.

Indicative: per-plate band × guests × functions from our own venue database and the 2026 rate cards — not a quote. Hotels price on a minimum guarantee of plates and a shortfall on a light count is negotiable. Last updated: August 2026 · Reviewed by Panigrahana’s founding team.
What moves the number at 300 guests
- Hotel or estate. Hotels charge a minimum guarantee of plates and the venue rides free above it; a shortfall on a light count is negotiable. Estates charge a day rental and let you bring the caterer — which is why The Tamarind Tree keeps winning weddings where the community’s cook is non-negotiable.
- Rooms. If a third of 300 guests stay over, you need roughly 50 rooms. Shangri-La, ITC Gardenia, the Leela and Golfshire absorb that on site; at Amita Rasa we pre-block partner hotels and run shuttles.
- Decor. ₹12–20 lakh is the Luxury tier for 200–300 guests across two or three functions; a restrained garden scheme at Taj West End starts at ₹5–8 lakh. Full bands on our Bangalore decor cost guide.
- Functions. Every extra function is another plate count. Three go over budget in every hundred weddings we produce, by 12% on average, and extra plates cause it every time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Bangalore hotels handle 300 guests best?
Taj West End (garden, 117 rooms), ITC Gardenia (Grand Ballroom, 291 rooms), The Leela Palace (357 rooms), Shangri-La (397 rooms), JW Marriott on Vittal Mallya Road and Conrad. All work on a food-and-beverage minimum with no separate hall charge.
Is an estate cheaper than a hotel for 300 guests?
Usually, when the caterer is yours. The Tamarind Tree is ₹16 lakh a day plus outside catering from ₹1,600 a plate — about ₹25 lakh all-in for 300 guests on one day. Moongate is ₹12 lakh a day plus ₹650–₹850 a plate in-house, roughly ₹16–17 lakh for two functions. The trade is rooms: estates hold 7–47, hotels 117–397.
How many rooms do 300 guests need?
If about a third stay over, roughly 50 rooms for two nights; if half do, 75–90. Shangri-La, ITC Gardenia, The Leela Palace and Golfshire hold that on site. At garden estates Panigrahana pre-blocks nearby hotels and runs shuttles.
Does Panigrahana plan the whole wedding or only the venue?
The whole wedding — venue negotiation, design and decor built in-house by a six-person team, catering contracts, rooms and guest logistics — on a flat fee of ₹5–25 lakh+ with no vendor commissions. Around 300 of our 500+ weddings were planned with couples living abroad.
