Best Luxury Wedding Halls in Kolkata for Grand Ceremonies
Best Luxury Wedding Halls in Kolkata for Grand Ceremonies
I've spent the past few months exploring different wedding halls in Kolkata to host weddings of friends and cousins' weddings, and other invitations I really didn't anticipate. In the midst of the flurry of activity, I realised something that Kolkata is home to some stunning luxurious halls that aren't always given the attention they merit. If you're trying to figure out the best place to hold a grand wedding ceremony (and stay clear of the anxiety that happens a month before the wedding), this is what I discovered by accident.
The Oberoi Grand - The location everybody secretly checks first
Every person I spoke with was a fan of The Oberoi Grand on their list of places to visit. It's one Wedding Halls in Kolkata that seems magnificent the second you step inside. The ballroom is full of old-fashioned elegance with chandeliers that appear like something straight from a film. One of my friends held her reception here, and the photos looked as if they were from classic films. Everything was neat, well-organised and... like... "Oberoi."
ITC Royal Bengal - Big, glittering, dazzling, and simply amazing
The place is huge. If you're planning an extravagant Bengali wedding that will have more than 800 guests (which is basically the equivalent of Kolkata), ITC Royal Bengal has room, style, and staff who keep track of all the things you say. I went to a Haldi ceremony here, and it was a luxurious experience. The halls are gorgeous, particularly when they have warm lighting and floral decorations.
JW Marriott - Contemporary, sophisticated, elegant, and attractive
Of the many Wedding Halls in Kolkata that I have visited, JW Marriott felt the most "today-ish." Sleek interiors and a huge lobby, and that poolside vibe that everyone takes pictures of. If you're looking for modern décor and clean lines, instead of traditional, heavy styling, JW is a solid choice. The food was surprisingly delicious, too. Not boring hotel food, however, it was a true taste.
Hyatt Regency Peaceful, luxurious without all the drama
I wasn't expecting to love this place as I enjoyed it. It's quiet, minimalist, and the venue does not scream for attention. The layout is ideal for those who need the space, but without too much hassle. The wedding I was a part of in this location had a theme of gold and white and looked gorgeous in person.
Taj Bengal - Old-world charm done right
Taj Bengal is basically the standard selection. The room, the entrance, and the floral arrangement... Everything is elegant. If you're looking for a place that blends elegance and warmth (and excellent food), this venue is well. The photos are naturally great because of the lighting. In fact, the entire place is lit with a soft glow. It.
The Westin Kolkata - Big windows, sun, bright, and city views
The halls at Westin are a bit different due to the contemporary style and high glass windows, which let in light. For weddings in the day or a cocktail night, this restaurant is a hit. It's located in Rajarhat, which means there's no big parking issue, which is a rare thing.
Raajkutir A bit classic, a bit royal
This is a unique property. The whole property has an old-fashioned feel, but in a chic way. I went to a mehendi wedding at this venue, and it was like being in the past. From the many Wedding Halls in Kolkata, I went to the one that stood out visually. Perfect for those looking for something unique and not your typical ballroom.
Summary
If you're looking for Wedding Halls in Kolkata with ideas for a dreamy interior you've got in your head (totally normal, in fact), these wedding venues are an excellent starting point. Each has its own distinct style and some traditional and modern, while others are beautiful in a peaceful manner. If you're looking for an easier method of comparing these without worrying about the phone or brochures, look them up on Webanquets, which allows you to get everything on one site.
