The Grand Hall — Mid-Size Wedding & Reception Hall in Bangalore

A mid-size AC banquet hall at Veloria Grand designed for 100–180 guests — standard weddings, mid-size receptions, corporate offsites, milestone birthdays and anniversaries. Per-plate from ₹500 veg, outside decor allowed, 52 on-site rooms for the family.

What The Grand Hall is

The Grand Hall is the most-booked room at Veloria Grand. It is a fully air-conditioned banquet hall sized for the wedding most Bangalore families actually have — somewhere between 120 and 180 guests, with both sides of the family present, a mandap or stage that needs real depth, a buffet that can hold a queue, and a small dance floor for the cocktail or sangeet portion.

The room is roughly 3,200 sq ft of clear floor with a 26-foot ceiling, which lets a full floral mandap or a tall reception backdrop sit naturally. Acoustics are designed for live music and a DJ at full volume, then dial down cleanly for speeches and the family video. The serving line is set off to one side so a 150-plate buffet does not cut into guest seating.

If your guest count stays under 100, look at The Pearl Hall for a more intimate fit. If you are heading toward 200 or want a combined engagement-and-reception in a single room, see The Royal Hall. For weddings specifically, the wedding hall guide shows where Grand sits versus 14 other Bangalore venues.

Outside decorators

Allowed at no entry fee. The decorator is welcome from 6 hours before the event start, with night-before access on request for full mandap or large reception setups. Helium balloons, glitter and confetti need a quick approval call so AC duct cleaning is included in the package.

Grand Hall runs on in-house catering: ₹500/plate vegetarian, ₹650/plate non-vegetarian, plus 5% GST. Jain, Jain-no-onion-garlic, halal and pure-veg menus on request at booking. Live counters (chaat, pasta, dessert, grill, kebab) are priced per counter. Outside catering is not standard but can be discussed for community-specific cuisines.
