What a wedding in Bangalore costs in 2026
Bangalore’s mild climate and deep bench of luxury hotels make it one of South India’s most flexible wedding cities, and costs scale with how grand you go. A premium full-wedding (mehndi, sangeet, ceremony and reception) generally runs Rs 50 lakh to Rs 3 crore, with palace-grade hotels like The Leela Palace Bengaluru at the upper end and garden estates more contained. The single biggest lever is catering, charged per plate across each function.
