ITC Maratha Wedding Cost 2026: Mumbai Luxury Venue

The short answer: what a ITC Maratha wedding costs

A wedding at ITC Maratha generally runs Rs 45 lakh to Rs 2 crore in 2026. A 200-guest two-event wedding sits around Rs 45 lakh to Rs 78 lakh, a 350-guest three-event celebration near Rs 78 lakh to Rs 1.3 crore, and a 600-guest wedding with full production toward Rs 2 crore. Catering billed per plate dominates, with venue minimums and the room block next. A Maratha-themed ITC flagship beside the international airport at Andheri, the Maratha delivers grand banqueting, airport-side convenience and standout food for a polished Mumbai wedding.

What makes ITC Maratha special for weddings

ITC Maratha is a luxury hotel celebrating Maratha heritage, set near Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport at Andheri East in Mumbai, with grand interiors, a striking atrium and ITC’s renowned kitchens. For weddings its appeal is convenience and polish in a city where space is at a premium: an airport-side location that is easy for the heavily outstation and NRI guest lists common at Mumbai weddings, grand banquet halls, and ITC’s celebrated cuisine. Mumbai weddings prize venues that minimise the city’s notorious travel times, and the Maratha’s proximity to the airport is a genuine advantage. Where the Taj and Oberoi command the seafront, the Maratha offers grand banqueting and easy access. For families wanting a polished, well-connected Mumbai hotel wedding with ITC food, it is a leading choice.

Spaces and capacities at ITC Maratha

The hotel offers grand indoor banquets and pre-function areas, so weddings use several spaces across the celebration:

• Grand ballroom: A large pillarless ballroom for receptions and big functions
• Additional banquet halls: Halls for parallel sangeet, mehndi and ceremony functions
• Pre-function foyers and atrium: Grand spaces for welcome drinks and cocktails
• Poolside and terrace: Settings for daytime and sundowner functions
• Rooms and suites: A luxury on-site inventory for the guest block

Indoor and outdoor capacities

The grand ballroom hosts the largest functions at 400 to 650-plus guests, while additional banquet halls seat 150 to 400 each for parallel functions. For a 350-guest wedding you would take the ballroom for the reception, a second hall for the sangeet and a foyer or poolside for daytime events. The largely indoor, air-conditioned banqueting suits Mumbai weddings across seasons and avoids the city’s monsoon and humidity risks; the team partitions and sizes each hall to your seating plan during the visit.

Events you can host at ITC Maratha

• Reception: The headline event in the grand ballroom, with full production
• Sangeet: A high-energy Mumbai evening in a banquet hall with performances
• Mehndi and haldi: Daytime functions in a hall, foyer or by the pool
• Wedding ceremony: A pheras mandap in a hall
• Cocktail and welcome dinner: Arrival functions for outstation and NRI guests
• Family brunch: A relaxed post-wedding meal

ITC Maratha 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 32 lakh across the wedding; a luxury room block adds Rs 12 lakh to Rs 48 lakh. The ITC flagship positioning and airport-side Mumbai location place minimums at the city’s upper tier, with peak season highest.

Catering and per-plate

In-house catering is the dominant line and a highlight, at roughly Rs 3,500 to Rs 6,000 per plate in 2026. For 350 guests across four functions, food and beverage typically totals Rs 40 lakh to Rs 80 lakh. ITC’s kitchens deliver strong Maharashtrian, North Indian, Gujarati, pan-Asian and continental spreads with live counters; menu breadth and beverage drive the figure.

Decor and production

Ballroom, stage and foyer decor usually runs Rs 16 lakh to Rs 48 lakh across functions. The grand interiors and atrium reward an elegant, rich 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 6 lakh to Rs 15 lakh. Entertainment, often a band, DJ or sangeet act, adds Rs 5 lakh to Rs 26 lakh. Combined, photography, film and entertainment commonly land around Rs 16 lakh to Rs 45 lakh.

Hospitality, room block and taxes

Hospitality covers the room block, planner fee, hair-and-makeup, transport and GST, together adding roughly Rs 20 lakh to Rs 58 lakh. With heavily outstation and NRI guest lists at Mumbai weddings, the airport-side room block is a significant and negotiable line.

Sample budget: 350-guest wedding at ITC Maratha (2026)

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 Maratha quote covers and what costs extra

The ITC Maratha 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 airport-side room block and GST are all separate. Because the banqueting is indoors and air-conditioned, the monsoon and humidity risks do not apply; guest count, decor and the room block, important given Mumbai’s travel times, are the main swings that decide where a city wedding here lands, while the airport-side location is the venue’s key practical advantage.

What pushes a ITC Maratha 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 Mumbai winter 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 airport-side room block, negotiable on volume, is the other major variable, and important given Mumbai’s travel times. Because the banqueting is indoors and air-conditioned, the monsoon and humidity risks that affect outdoor venues do not apply.

Best season and dates to book ITC Maratha

Mumbai’s wedding season runs roughly November to February, the cooler, drier months when ITC Maratha’s ballroom books 5 to 8 months ahead for peak dates at the highest minimums. The monsoon from June to September and the humid pre-monsoon months see softer rates, and because the banqueting is fully indoors, off-peak and even monsoon dates are workable. For a fixed auspicious winter date, book early as the grand ballroom is in demand.

Guest experience, stay and getting there

ITC Maratha sits beside Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport at Andheri East in Mumbai, just minutes from the international terminal and well connected to the Western and Eastern Express Highways and the metro. The luxury rooms house a core guest block, with the wide Andheri and airport hotel market for overflow, exceptionally convenient for outstation and NRI families flying in. The airport-side location minimises Mumbai’s travel times between functions. The events team coordinates the block, transfers and guest flow.

How to book ITC Maratha 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 Mumbai’s leading decor and entertainment teams for a polished, well-connected celebration.

Planning timeline for a ITC Maratha wedding

As an airport-side Mumbai flagship in constant demand, ITC Maratha books 5 to 8 months ahead for peak dates, so a focused timeline runs:

• 5 to 8 months ahead: Lock the date and hold your main space at ITC Maratha, and agree the per-function minimum guarantee or buyout terms so the booking is secure.
• 6 to 8 months ahead: Finalise the guest list and the room block, shortlist decor, production and entertainment teams, and confirm the function plan across your events.
• 4 to 5 months ahead: Run the menu tasting, lock catering covers and the beverage package, and confirm photography, film and any artists.
• 2 to 3 months ahead: Sign off decor and production designs, the event flow, guest hospitality and transport, and the hair-and-makeup schedule.
• 1 month ahead: Confirm final guaranteed covers, the detailed run sheet, vendor call times and the rooming list with the ITC Maratha team.
• Week of the wedding: On-site setup, sound and light checks, a rehearsal where needed and a final walkthrough with the venue and all vendors.

Who a ITC Maratha wedding suits best

ITC Maratha suits families who want a polished, well-connected Mumbai hotel wedding where airport-side convenience and grand banqueting matter most. It is the right choice for a celebration of 200 to 600 guests, for the heavily outstation and NRI guest lists common at Mumbai weddings, who value minimal travel time, a large air-conditioned ballroom and ITC’s cuisine, and for weddings that prize practicality in a city where travel is a real constraint. It is well suited to families flying guests in. It is less suited to couples set on a seafront or heritage setting, where the Taj Mahal Palace or The Oberoi command South Mumbai, or on a resort getaway.
