ITC Maurya Wedding Cost 2026: New Delhi Luxury Venue

The short answer: what a ITC Maurya wedding costs

A wedding at ITC Maurya generally runs Rs 50 lakh to Rs 2.5 crore in 2026. A 250-guest two-event wedding sits around Rs 50 lakh to Rs 90 lakh, a 400-guest three-event celebration near Rs 90 lakh to Rs 1.6 crore, and a 700-guest wedding with full production toward Rs 2.5 crore. Catering billed per plate dominates, with venue minimums and the room block next. A capital landmark in Chanakyapuri that hosts world leaders, ITC Maurya delivers prestige, grand banqueting and ITC’s renowned food for a high-status Delhi wedding.

What makes ITC Maurya special for weddings

ITC Maurya is one of New Delhi’s most prestigious hotels, set in the Diplomatic Enclave at Sardar Patel Marg in Chanakyapuri, long the chosen address for visiting heads of state, dignitaries and the legendary Bukhara and Dum Pukht restaurants. For weddings its appeal is prestige and pedigree: a landmark capital address, grand pillared banquet halls and lawns, exceptional security and discretion, and ITC’s celebrated kitchens. Delhi families place real value on the social standing of the venue, and few names carry the Maurya’s gravitas. It handles large, lavish North Indian weddings with the polish of an ITC flagship and the cuisine to match. For a high-status capital wedding where prestige, scale and food all matter, ITC Maurya is a leading choice.

Spaces and capacities at ITC Maurya

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

• Grand banquet halls: Pillared halls for receptions and gala dinners
• Lawns and gardens: Outdoor lawns for sangeet, mehndi and large functions
• Pre-function foyers: Grand foyers for welcome drinks and cocktails
• Poolside and terraces: Settings for daytime and sundowner functions
• Rooms and suites: A luxury on-site inventory for the guest block

What we can confirm about capacity

ITC Maurya does not publish a capacity chart complete enough for us to check, so we do not quote a guest count for these spaces. A range that cannot be traced to the property’s own figures is not something to build a guest list on.

Ask the events team for the seated-at-rounds figure for each space you plan to use, with a stage and buffet line included, and get it in writing. A headline capacity is usually a standing or theatre figure: across the 62 properties in our venue capacity study, the headline was a median 1.7 times what the room seats for dinner.

Events you can host at ITC Maurya

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

ITC Maurya wedding cost breakdown (2026)

Venue and hall hire

Hall and lawn hire is usually bundled into food-and-beverage minimums rather than flat rental. Where a space charge applies, budget roughly Rs 10 lakh to Rs 38 lakh across the wedding; a luxury room block adds Rs 14 lakh to Rs 55 lakh. The Maurya’s flagship prestige and Diplomatic Enclave positioning place minimums among the very highest in Delhi, with peak winter dates highest.

Catering and per-plate

In-house catering is the dominant line and a celebrated highlight, at roughly Rs 3,500 to Rs 6,500 per plate in 2026. For 400 guests across four functions, food and beverage typically totals Rs 46 lakh to Rs 95 lakh. The Maurya’s kitchens, home to Bukhara and Dum Pukht, deliver outstanding North Indian, Awadhi, frontier and continental spreads with live counters; the venue’s culinary reputation is part of its draw, and premium menus drive the figure.

Decor and production

Lawn, hall and stage decor usually runs Rs 18 lakh to Rs 60 lakh across functions. Lavish Delhi weddings here often invest heavily in decor, with the sangeet lawn and reception stage the focal points; the grand halls and lawns support elaborate floral, drape and lighting production.

Photography, film and entertainment

Photography and cinematography for a top team typically run Rs 6 lakh to Rs 16 lakh. Entertainment, often a celebrity act, band or large sangeet production, adds Rs 6 lakh to Rs 30 lakh. Combined, photography, film and entertainment commonly land around Rs 18 lakh to Rs 50 lakh.

Hospitality, room block and taxes

Hospitality covers the room block, planner fee, hair-and-makeup, transport, security and GST, together adding roughly Rs 24 lakh to Rs 65 lakh. For high-status weddings the luxury room block and security and discretion arrangements are significant, negotiable lines.

Sample budget: 400-guest wedding at ITC Maurya (2026)

This budget assumes a 400-guest wedding across four functions. A 250-guest, two-event celebration compresses toward the lower bound, while a 700-guest wedding with lavish decor and a celebrity act approaches the upper figure. Per-plate multiplied by total covers is the anchor.

What the ITC Maurya quote covers and what costs extra

The ITC Maurya quote centres on per-plate catering, celebrated given Bukhara and Dum Pukht, covering the lawn or hall setup, service and the service charge. Decor and production, photography and film, the sangeet and entertainment, the planning fee, the luxury room block, security and discretion, and GST are all separate. Lavish Delhi weddings here often invest heavily in decor and entertainment, so those discretionary lines, along with guest count and the block, are where the budget is really decided, while the Maurya’s prestige and cuisine are part of what families are buying.

What pushes a ITC Maurya 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 Delhi winter dates carrying the highest minimums. Decor and entertainment are the biggest discretionary swings, and lavish Delhi weddings here can spend heavily on both, so a disciplined brief keeps them controlled. The luxury room block and security and discretion arrangements, expected at a prestige venue, are the other major variables. The Maurya’s standing means the floor sits high, but the social value of the address is part of what families are buying.

Best season and dates to book ITC Maurya

Delhi’s wedding season runs roughly October to March, the cool, pleasant months when ITC Maurya’s lawns and halls book 6 to 9 months ahead for peak dates at the highest minimums. The hot summer from April brings softer rates but challenges outdoor functions, while indoor halls remain comfortable year-round. For a fixed auspicious winter date, book early, as the lawns and the grand ballroom are the binding constraints for a large, lavish wedding.

Guest experience, stay and getting there

ITC Maurya sits in the Diplomatic Enclave on Sardar Patel Marg in Chanakyapuri, central New Delhi, roughly 20 to 30 minutes from Indira Gandhi International Airport and close to the city’s institutions and embassies. The luxury rooms and suites house a core guest block, with the wider Delhi hotel market for overflow, and the central location keeps guests near the airport and the capital’s landmarks between functions. The events team coordinates the block, transfers, security and guest flow.

How to book ITC Maurya and planning lead times

Booking is through the ITC weddings desk. For a peak-season date, start 6 to 9 months ahead. The sequence runs site visit and space hold, a per-function minimum contract, menu tasting (a real highlight given the Maurya’s kitchens), then decor and production sign-off. Velvet Knot manages the negotiation, the tasting, the room block and the security and discretion arrangements, and coordinates Delhi’s top decor and entertainment teams for a prestigious capital celebration.

Who a ITC Maurya wedding suits best

ITC Maurya suits families who want a prestigious, high-status capital wedding where the standing of the address, grand banqueting and exceptional food all matter. It is the right choice for a large, lavish Delhi celebration, for those who value a landmark venue that hosts world leaders, lawns and grand halls, and the Maurya’s celebrated cuisine. It is well suited to high-profile families who want prestige and discretion in the Diplomatic Enclave. It is less suited to budget-conscious weddings or to couples wanting a relaxed resort or destination feel, where a getaway venue or a smaller hotel is a better match.
