A wedding at ITC Gardenia, Bengaluru typically costs Rs 40 lakh to Rs 1.8 crore for 200 to 600 guests across two to three days in 2026, with per-plate F&B around Rs 3,000 to Rs 5,500. The garden-themed LEED Platinum luxury hotel on Residency Road pairs central convenience and grand banquets with ITC’s celebrated cuisine for a polished city wedding.
The short answer: what a ITC Gardenia wedding costs
A wedding at ITC Gardenia generally runs Rs 40 lakh to Rs 1.8 crore in 2026. A 200-guest two-event wedding sits around Rs 40 lakh to Rs 70 lakh, a 350-guest three-event celebration near Rs 70 lakh to Rs 1.2 crore, and a 600-guest wedding with full production toward Rs 1.8 crore. Catering billed per plate dominates, with venue minimums and decor next. A central, green-certified ITC flagship on Residency Road, ITC Gardenia delivers grand banqueting, a sought-after city-centre address and standout food for a polished Bengaluru wedding.
What makes ITC Gardenia special for weddings
ITC Gardenia is a green, garden-inspired luxury hotel on Residency Road in central Bengaluru, one of the first hotels in the world to earn LEED Platinum certification, with a calm botanical aesthetic and a prized central location. For weddings its appeal is convenience and polish: a city-centre address that is easy for local and outstation guests, grand banquet halls and pre-function spaces, and ITC’s renowned kitchens. Bengaluru weddings often blend South Indian and North Indian traditions, and the Gardenia’s banqueting and cuisine handle both with ease. Where the Leela Palace and Taj West End offer heritage and gardens, the Gardenia offers contemporary luxury and a central, well-connected setting. For families wanting a refined city-centre Bengaluru wedding with ITC food and a sustainable, design-led setting, it is a leading choice.
Spaces and capacities at ITC Gardenia Bengaluru
ITC Gardenia’s Mysore Hall is published at 650 and seats 170 at round tables, a gap of nearly four times. That is the single most important number on this page.
| Space | Size (sq ft) | Seated at rounds | Theatre style | Maximum published |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Mysore Hall | 5,963 | 170 | 650 | 650 |
| Botania Terrace | 7,879 | n/a | 200 | 200 |
| Mysore Hall II | 1,981 | n/a | 150 | 150 |
| Mysore Hall I | 1,981 | n/a | 150 | 150 |
| Mysore Hall III | 1,981 | n/a | 150 | 150 |
| The Magnolia | 1,636 | n/a | 120 | 120 |
The property publishes 11 spaces in all. The 6 above are the ones large enough to hold a wedding function; the rest are meeting rooms and boardrooms.
What these numbers mean for your guest count
170 seated against a 650 headline is a 3.8 times gap and the most consequential number on this page. The Mysore Hall is 5,963 square feet, so at 170 the layout is generous, around 35 square feet a guest, and there may be room to negotiate upward. But a family arriving with a 400-guest list because a directory said the hall holds 650 is going to have a difficult conversation late. ITC Gardenia is a strong choice for a 150 to 200 guest seated wedding in central Bengaluru and a poor one above that unless you are willing to run a standing format or split across spaces.
Figures are as published by the property and were checked in September 2026. Venues reconfigure spaces and revise these charts, so confirm the seated figure for your own layout, with a stage and a buffet line included, before you sign. The hotel lists 292 guest rooms, which is the other number that decides how large a multi-night wedding can realistically be.

ITC Gardenia wedding cost breakdown (2026)
Venue and hall hire
Ballroom and hall hire is usually bundled into food-and-beverage minimums rather than flat rental. Where a space charge applies, budget roughly Rs 8 lakh to Rs 30 lakh across the wedding; a luxury room block adds Rs 10 lakh to Rs 42 lakh. The ITC flagship positioning and central location place minimums at Bengaluru’s upper tier, with peak season highest.
Catering and per-plate
In-house catering is the dominant line and a highlight, at roughly Rs 3,000 to Rs 5,500 per plate in 2026. For 350 guests across four functions, food and beverage typically totals Rs 36 lakh to Rs 72 lakh. ITC’s kitchens deliver strong South Indian, North Indian, pan-Asian and continental spreads with live counters, handling the blended menus common at Bengaluru weddings; menu breadth and beverage drive the figure.
Decor and production
Ballroom, stage and foyer decor usually runs Rs 14 lakh to Rs 45 lakh across functions. The contemporary, garden-themed interiors reward an elegant floral scheme, with the ballroom reception stage and entrance the focal points; the pillarless halls support flexible floral, drape and lighting production.
Photography, film and entertainment
Photography and cinematography for a strong team typically run Rs 5 lakh to Rs 14 lakh. Entertainment, often a band, DJ or sangeet act, adds Rs 5 lakh to Rs 24 lakh. Combined, photography, film and entertainment commonly land around Rs 14 lakh to Rs 42 lakh.
Hospitality, room block and taxes
Hospitality covers the room block, planner fee, hair-and-makeup, transport and GST, together adding roughly Rs 18 lakh to Rs 52 lakh. With outstation and NRI guests common at Bengaluru weddings, the room block is a significant and negotiable line.
Sample budget: 350-guest wedding at ITC Gardenia (2026)
| Line item | Range |
|---|---|
| Venue / hall hire + room block | Rs 14-45 lakh |
| Catering (per-plate Rs 3,000-5,500, 4 events) | Rs 36-72 lakh |
| Decor + production | Rs 14-45 lakh |
| Photography + film + entertainment | Rs 14-42 lakh |
| Hospitality, planner + GST | Rs 18-52 lakh |
| Total | Rs 40 lakh-1.8 crore |
This budget assumes a 350-guest wedding across four functions. A 200-guest, two-event celebration compresses toward the lower bound, while a 600-guest wedding with lavish production approaches the upper figure. Per-plate multiplied by total covers is the anchor.
What the ITC Gardenia quote covers and what costs extra
The ITC Gardenia quote centres on per-plate catering, covering the ballroom or hall setup, service and the service charge. Decor and production, photography and film, the sangeet and entertainment, the planning fee, the room block and GST are all separate. Because the banqueting is largely indoors and air-conditioned, there are no tenting or weather costs; guest count, decor and the block are the main swings that decide where a central-Bengaluru wedding here lands, while the contemporary garden-themed interiors keep the setting elegant without heavy staging.
What pushes a ITC Gardenia wedding cost up or down
Guest count and the number of functions are the primary levers, as catering scales with both. Date and season matter, with peak Bengaluru wedding dates carrying the highest minimums. Decor is the biggest discretionary swing in the ballroom, so a clear brief focused on the reception stage keeps it controlled. The room block, negotiable on volume, is the other major variable. Because the banqueting is largely indoors and air-conditioned, weather and tenting costs do not apply, and Bengaluru’s mild climate keeps the wedding comfortable across seasons.
Best season and dates to book ITC Gardenia
Bengaluru enjoys a pleasant climate year-round, so weddings run across most of the calendar, with the busiest auspicious dates from October to February and again April to June. ITC Gardenia’s ballroom books 5 to 8 months ahead for peak dates at the highest minimums. The city’s mild weather means there is no harsh off-season, giving useful flexibility; for a fixed auspicious date, book early as the grand ballroom is in demand.
Guest experience, stay and getting there
ITC Gardenia sits on Residency Road in central Bengaluru, close to MG Road, Brigade Road and the central business district, and roughly 45 minutes to an hour from Kempegowda International Airport. The luxury rooms house a core guest block, with the wider central Bengaluru hotel market for overflow, and the central location is convenient for local guests and easy for outstation families. The events team coordinates the block, airport transfers and guest flow.
How to book ITC Gardenia and planning lead times
Booking is through the ITC weddings desk. For a peak-season date, start 5 to 8 months ahead. The sequence runs site visit and hall hold, a per-function minimum contract, menu tasting, then decor and production sign-off. Velvet Knot manages the negotiation, the tasting and the room block, and coordinates Bengaluru’s leading decor and entertainment teams for a polished city celebration.
Who a ITC Gardenia wedding suits best
ITC Gardenia suits families who want a refined, central Bengaluru city wedding with grand banqueting, easy access and ITC food. It is the right choice for a celebration of 200 to 600 guests, for those who value a sought-after Residency Road address, a large air-conditioned ballroom and a contemporary, green-certified setting, and for weddings blending South Indian and North Indian traditions. It is well suited to local and outstation families who want central convenience. It is less suited to couples wanting heritage character and garden lawns, where ITC Windsor or Taj West End fit better, or to those after a destination-resort experience.
