Planning a garden wedding in Delhi begins with choosing the venue, and a venue visit goes much further when you arrive with the right questions. This is the checklist our wedding team shares with couples and families before they walk the lawns at The Umrao.
Start with dates and guest count
Every other answer depends on these two numbers, so bring them, even as a range.
- Your preferred dates and one or two alternates — winter weekends book early in Delhi
- An approximate guest count for each function, not just the wedding day
- A working budget range, so the team can suggest the right spaces and menus
Venue questions for a garden wedding in Delhi
Outdoor celebrations are beautiful, and they need a plan for the weather and for the evening.
- Which lawn or terrace suits each function — mehendi, haldi, sangeet, pheras and reception?
- What is the indoor back-up if it rains or the evening turns cold? At The Umrao, the Belva Ballroom opens onto the gardens and the Flip Ballroom hosts larger receptions.
- Where do guests arrive, park and gather before the ceremony?
- What are the sound and timing rules for music late in the evening?
Ask about rooms for family and guests
A wedding is easier when the family stays where the celebrations happen.
- How many rooms and suites can be held for the wedding party, and until when?
- Is there a getting-ready suite for the bride and for the groom?
- Can out-of-town guests be welcomed with a single check-in desk?
Talk about food, décor and the details
- Menu tastings, live counters and regional specialities from the banquet kitchen
- Floral design, lighting, mandap styling and the wedding cake
- Pre-wedding treatments at Indriya Spa and salon trials
- A single point of contact who stays with you from the first visit to the last function
After the visit
Write down what you liked about each space while it is fresh, and ask for a written proposal that lists every function, menu and room block. Compare proposals side by side rather than headline prices.
When you are ready, send us an event enquiry with your dates and guest count, and a dedicated wedding specialist will be in touch.
