Wiwaha by Praman

A Balinese-themed property at Bettahalsoor in north Bangalore, twenty-five minutes from the airport and about half an hour from the city centre. Granite walkways, stone detail, an infinity pool, tropical planting the theme is carried through properly rather than applied as decor, which is rare enough to be the reason most couples book it.

Three spaces, and the sizes are genuinely distinct. The open lawn takes 650 to 800 and has a built-in stage, so the ceremony does not depend on a temporary structure. A semi-covered indoor space handles 400 to 500. The amphitheatre is the smallest at 150 to 200, open-air and tiered, which suits rituals and music better than a flat floor does.

Sixty-five rooms on site, managed by a hotel group, make this one of the few venues around Bangalore where a genuinely out-of-town wedding works, guests fly in, stay on the property, and nobody is driving back into the city at midnight. There are private villas for both families to get ready in.
