We have a team of in-house décor specialists who create bespoke floral arrangements, mandap design, stage setups, lighting, and thematic concepts.

Every wedding package at Antara Grand includes a personal events coordinator who is your single point of contact from booking through to the final send-off. They manage vendor coordination, timeline planning, day-of logistics, and are present throughout every function to ensure flawless execution.

Certain external vendors are permitted subject to prior approval from our management team. External caterers are generally not allowed as we operate an exclusive in-house kitchen. Decorators and entertainers (live bands, DJs, anchors, artists) can be brought in once verified. Our team will guide you through the vendor approval process.

We recommend booking at least 6–12 months in advance for weddings, especially during peak wedding season (October–February). For corporate events and smaller gatherings, 2–4 months is generally sufficient. Popular dates fill quickly, so early enquiry is always advisable. A provisional hold can be placed on a date while you finalise your decision.

Securing a date requires a non-refundable booking advance of 25% of the estimated event cost. A second instalment of 50% is due 60 days before the event, and the remaining balance is settled within 7 days after the event. Payment can be made via bank transfer, cheque, or UPI. Detailed terms are outlined in your event contract.

Cancellations made more than 90 days before the event forfeit the initial booking advance only. Cancellations between 30–90 days will incur a charge of 50% of the total contracted amount. Cancellations within 30 days are charged at 100%. Rescheduling requests are considered on a case-by-case basis subject to availability and may attract an administrative fee.

We offer both. Curated all-inclusive wedding and corporate packages are available that bundle venue, catering, décor, AV, and coordination at a preferred rate. We also offer a fully customisable à la carte structure where you select only the services you need. Our events team will present both options during your initial consultation so you can choose what best suits your budget and vision.
