About The Westin Goa
The Westin Goa is the North Goa hotel wedding with a proper ballroom: Kashti, about 4,850 sq ft with its own entrance, takes 350 at dinner rounds and 400 standing, and the Kashti Lawns outside it take the ceremony for about 150 seated. With 171 rooms in Anjuna, close to the beach and the coast's restaurants, it is the practical five-star for a 200–350 wedding that wants North Goa's energy and an air-conditioned room for the evening.
Outside decorators are permitted, which keeps the design open. Panigrahana designs Kashti for a strong stage wall and lit ceiling, and the lawn low and open, with the move indoors timed to the 10 pm outdoor cut-off.

Designed, not just planned
How we would design a wedding at The Westin Goa
A contemporary hotel: clean lines, a single stage wall in Kashti, lit ceiling, long table runs. The lawn is compact — one low mandap, a lit edge.
Which function goes where
| Haldi | The poolside in the morning. |
|---|---|
| Mehendi | Chapora (64 at rounds) with controlled light, or the lawn under shade. |
| Sangeet | Kashti with a stage and dance floor, 350 at rounds. |
| Wedding ceremony | Kashti Lawns at sunset, Kashti as the written rain plan. |
| Reception | Kashti — 350 at rounds, 400 standing. |
Season and weather
November to February for the lawns, Thyme & Ash and the pool, and 20 of the 24 Goa weddings couples booked with Panigrahana in 2026 fall in those months (booking records, 24 October 2026). October and March work with shade. The southwest monsoon (June to September) moves the wedding into Kashti, 350 at rounds, which is enough for a mid-size wedding. Christmas and New Year in Anjuna go a year ahead.
Arrivals, access and logistics
Anjuna is in North Goa. Cvent lists an airport at 43 km without naming it; Mopa (GOX) is the North Goa airport and Dabolim (GOI) the southern one, so ask the hotel for transfer times from both. Anjuna, Vagator and Assagao hold overflow. North Goa sound applications go to the Deputy Collector and SDO at least 15 days ahead.
The Westin Goa policies

| Music curfew | Outdoor amplified sound stops at 10 pm (CPCB noise rules); North Goa sound applications list timings up to 10 pm. |

Planning notes for The Westin Goa
Is The Westin Goa the right venue for your wedding?

Planning a wedding at The Westin Goa from abroad
At The Westin Goa, the vegetarian plate rate is ₹1,000 (WedMeGood listing, checked 26 September 2026), so food for one 150-guest function is ₹1.5 lakh before taxes: about US$1,560 or £1,180 at the 26 Sep 2026 rate; contracts are in INR.
Anjuna is in North Goa, so Mopa (GOX) is usually the shorter transfer; Cvent lists the hotel 43 km from an airport it does not name, so ask for transfer times from Mopa and from Dabolim (GOI). With 171 rooms on site, a residential wedding can stay together, and Marriott India Weddings' package covers two nights for 150 guests. November to February is the window most of our Goa couples choose. A video walkthrough should show Kashti set for dinner, the Kashti Lawns and the pool.
| Vegetarian plate | ₹1,000 ≈ US$10 · £8 · AED 38 · C$15 · A$15 |
|---|---|
| Food for 150, one function | ₹1,50,000 (₹1.5 lakh) before taxes ≈ US$1,560 · £1,180 · AED 5,740 · C$2,210 · A$2,230 |
| Rooms | 171 rooms ≈ 342 guests at two a room. A 150-guest block at two a room needs 75 rooms, which fits on site if the venue releases that many rooms for your dates. |
| Season | November to February for the lawns, Thyme & Ash and the pool, and 20 of the 24 Goa weddings couples booked with Panigrahana in 2026 fall in those months (booking records, 24 October 2026). |
Converted at the 26 Sep 2026 rate; contracts are in INR (US$1 = ₹95.91, £1 = ₹126.86, AED 1 = ₹26.12, C$1 = ₹67.74, A$1 = ₹67.36; mid-market rates from open.er-api.com). Rates: WedMeGood listing, checked 26 September 2026. Room figures come from the venue facts on this page.

What families usually ask about The Westin Goa
Families usually ask where the mandap and the fire can go: on the Kashti Lawns with Kashti as the rain plan, with the havan and the mandap structure agreed with the hotel in writing. Catering is in-house only, so taste the traditional menu with the hotel's chefs before you sign. The Kashti Lawns sit outside the ballroom, which keeps the walk short for elders. The family can stay together in the hotel's 171 rooms.

Marriott India Weddings lists a 'Say I Do in Style' package from ₹50 lakh plus taxes for 150 guests over two nights, with rooms on double occupancy, daily buffets and a hi-tea (checked 20 September 2026). Decor, the bar and extra functions sit on top, so ask the hotel to price your programme against it.
What is the per plate price at The Westin Goa?
WedMeGood shows a starting price of ₹1,000 vegetarian and ₹1,250 non-vegetarian per plate (checked 26 September 2026), which matches the continental-breakfast rate on Marriott's events page rather than a wedding dinner. Ask the hotel for the banquet menu and per-plate figure for your date in writing.
Does The Westin Goa have a wedding package?
Yes: Marriott India Weddings lists 'Say I Do in Style' from ₹50 lakh plus taxes for 150 guests over two nights, covering rooms on double occupancy, buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner with starters, a hi-tea and indoor and outdoor spaces (checked 20 September 2026). Ask what extra functions and decor cost on top.
What is the capacity of The Westin Goa for a wedding?
Marriott's chart (checked 25 October 2026) lists Kashti at 4,855 sq ft for 350 at banquet rounds or 400 at a reception, dividing into two rooms, and Chapora at 64 / 120. WedMeGood adds the Kashti Lawn at 150 / 300, Thyme & Ash at 200 / 400 and Drift poolside at 100 / 200.

Can we bring our own decorator to The Westin Goa?
Yes: WedMeGood lists outside decorators as permitted (checked 26 September 2026), and Panigrahana's booking records show no outside-vendor fee at five-star hotels of its kind (October 2026). Catering and alcohol stay in-house; get the lawn-structure and load-in rules in writing before you commission the mandap.
Can we use an outside caterer or bring alcohol to The Westin Goa?
No on both: WedMeGood lists catering and alcohol as in-house only (checked 26 September 2026). Marriott India Weddings' package already includes buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner for two nights, so compare the bar packages and any extra-function menus against it in writing.
What is the music curfew at The Westin Goa?
Outdoors, amplified sound stops at 10 pm: the Noise Pollution Rules allow loudspeakers after 10 pm only inside closed premises (CPCB, checked 26 September 2026), and North Goa's permission lists timings up to 10 pm with the application due 15 days ahead. The lawn party moves into Kashti at 10.
What is the best month for a wedding at The Westin Goa?
November to February: 20 of the 24 Goa weddings couples booked with Panigrahana in 2026 fall in those months (booking records, 24 October 2026), and it is the dry season for the lawns and the pool. From June to September the monsoon moves the wedding into Kashti, which seats 350 at rounds.
Is The Westin Goa on the beach?
No: the hotel is in Anjuna, in D'Mello Vaddo per its WedMeGood listing (checked 26 September 2026), and its wedding settings are Kashti, the Kashti Lawn, Thyme & Ash and the pool. A beach ceremony nearby needs its own permissions, including NOCs from GCZMA and the Tourism Department for sound.
How far is The Westin Goa from the airport?
Cvent lists The Westin Goa 43 km from an airport it does not name (checked 26 September 2026). Anjuna is in North Goa, closer to Mopa (GOX) than to Dabolim (GOI), so ask the hotel for transfer times from both before you book guest flights.
Who plans weddings at The Westin Goa?
The hotel's events specialists handle its side, and its events page confirms it provides wedding services (checked 25 October 2026). Panigrahana is an independent planning and design studio with its own Goa team and warehouse: we design the functions, build the decor and run the programme with the Westin team, while the hotel keeps the rooms and food contract.
What does wedding decor cost at The Westin Goa?
Panigrahana's decor starts at ₹5 lakh plus GST, and the mandaps we built over the past year ran ₹90,000 to ₹1.5 lakh for a simple design and ₹3 to 4 lakh for a signature one (founder figures, October 2026). Kashti's 26 ft ceiling takes a tall stage or a hanging installation, which suits a reception design.
The Westin Goa vs W Goa: which is better for our wedding?
The Westin has 171 rooms and Kashti for 350 at rounds indoors (Marriott chart, checked 25 October 2026), with a published package. W Goa, also a Marriott hotel in North Goa, has 121 rooms, lawns up to 1,000 standing and a small indoor Great Room. Choose the Westin for a rain-safe mid-size wedding, W for a dry-season party.
Does The Westin Goa give a group rate and Marriott Bonvoy points for a wedding?
Yes, The Westin Goa's events page offers a discounted group rate when you book 10 or more rooms, and Marriott Bonvoy Events lets you earn up to 60,000 points per qualified event (Marriott, checked 16 October 2026). WedMeGood and Cvent list 171 rooms, so the 75-room block in the hotel's 150-guest package fits on site if those rooms are free for your dates.
Where is The Westin Goa and how far is it from the airport?
The Westin Goa is in Dmello Vaddo, Anjuna, in Bardez, North Goa, per Marriott's events page, which gives no airport distance. Cvent lists an airport 43 km away without naming it, so ask the hotel for timed transfers from both Mopa (GOX), the North Goa airport, and Dabolim (GOI) before you fix arrival days. Hotels in Anjuna, Vagator and Assagao can take overflow guests.

The Westin Goa's events page on Marriott lists the hotel at +91 832 663 6600, and Marriott India Weddings gives a wedding specialist line for the hotel, +91 80870 96921 (both checked 16 October 2026). The address is Survey No 204/1, Dmello Vaddo, Anjuna, Bardez, Goa 403509. Panigrahana is a planning and design studio, not the hotel; send us your date and guest count and a planner replies within 24 hours.

Yes, The Westin Goa has rooms for both: for an engagement, Chapora takes 64 at banquet rounds or 120 at a reception, and Kashti 1 takes 136 at rounds or 280 at a reception, per Marriott's capacity chart. For a larger cocktail, the full Kashti takes 400 at a reception. Outdoors, Thyme & Ash is listed on WedMeGood at 200 seated or 400 standing; amplified music outside stops at 10 pm.
Is The Westin Goa good for a wedding?
The Westin Goa suits a wedding of up to 400 guests that wants North Goa and an indoor ballroom. Marriott's chart puts Kashti, its largest room, at about 4,850 sq ft for 350 at banquet rounds or 400 at a reception, and the Kashti Lawns add outdoor space. Marriott India Weddings lists a package for 150 guests from ₹50 lakh plus taxes, and the hotel's WedMeGood listing allows outside decorators.
The Westin Goa vs Goa Marriott: which wedding package is better?
The Westin Goa and Goa Marriott Resort & Spa publish the same starting package: ₹50 lakh plus taxes for 150 guests over two nights in 75 rooms, with buffet meals and hi-tea (Marriott India Weddings, checked 16 October 2026). The difference is the setting. The Westin is in Anjuna, North Goa, with Kashti, its largest room, for 350 at banquet rounds; Goa Marriott is on Miramar Beach in Panaji.
