Planning a wedding in South Delhi? This guide answers the questions families ask us most: which venues to look at, what they cost, how decor works, when to book, which vendors you need, and how to get every guest to the right gate on time.
What Are the Best Wedding Venues in South Delhi?
South Delhi gives you two kinds of wedding. For a hotel wedding, families shortlist The Grand in Vasant Kunj, Hyatt Regency at Bhikaji Cama Place, Sheraton in Saket, Eros Hotel at Nehru Place and Crowne Plaza in Okhla. For a big open-air wedding, they look at the farmhouses of Chhatarpur, Sultanpur and Ghitorni.
Most South Delhi families live in Vasant Vihar, Greater Kailash, Defence Colony, Saket or Vasant Kunj, so the venues are close to home and close to the airport. Hotels suit receptions and winter nights. Farmhouses suit large guest lists and long outdoor celebrations.
The Grand
Vasant KunjLarge banquet halls and lawns, about 20 minutes from the airport. Popular for receptions with many outstation guests.
Hyatt Regency Delhi

Wedding Venues by Area
A South Delhi wedding usually moves between the family home, a hotel and a farmhouse. Each area works differently on the day.
| Area | What you will find | What to know for the day |
|---|---|---|
| Vasant Vihar, Greater Kailash, Defence Colony, Saket | Family homes, where the baraat and vidaai often begin | Busy city roads and tight lanes. Book chauffeur-driven cars rather than app cabs. |
| Vasant Kunj and Bhikaji Cama Place | Five-star hotels and guest rooms | Close to the airport. A good base for guests from out of town. |
| Chhatarpur (Sat Bari, Bandh Road, Mandir Road) | Large farmhouses and lawns | Winding lanes and gates that look alike at night. Drivers must know the exact gate. |
| Sultanpur, Ghitorni, Mehrauli | Farmhouses and boutique venues | The same narrow lanes as Chhatarpur. Plan where cars wait. |
How Much Does a Wedding Venue in South Delhi Cost?
Five-star hotels in South Delhi list from about ₹2,800 to ₹5,500 per plate before taxes. Chhatarpur farmhouses mostly list from about ₹1,000 to ₹2,500 per plate, while the most premium estates list ₹4,500 or more. Some farmhouses also charge a rental fee, often around ₹2 lakh per function.
| Venue type | Listed price per plate | For 400 guests |
|---|---|---|
| Five-star hotel (Vasant Kunj, Saket, Bhikaji Cama Place) | About ₹2,800 to ₹5,500, plus taxes | About ₹11.2 lakh to ₹22 lakh, plus taxes |
| Farmhouse (Chhatarpur, Sultanpur, Ghitorni) | About ₹1,000 to ₹2,500, plus taxes, sometimes plus a rental fee | About ₹4 lakh to ₹10 lakh, plus taxes and rental |
| Premium farmhouse estate | About ₹4,500 and up, plus taxes | About ₹18 lakh and up, plus taxes |
These are listed starting prices from wedding venue directories, so treat them as a guide and ask for a written quote. Four things change the final number:
- The date. Peak muhurat dates in November, February and March cost more.
- The menu. Non-vegetarian, live counters and international cuisine add to the plate price.
- The minimum guarantee. Most venues charge for a set number of guests even if fewer come.
- At farmhouses, extras such as tents, heaters, generators and lighting may be charged separately.
How Do You Arrange Flowers and Decoration?
Hotels usually work with a short list of approved decorators. Farmhouses are more flexible and often let you bring your own decorator, but you then plan the tent, lighting and power too. Book the decorator once the venue is fixed.
At a hotel
Ask the hotel in writing which decorators are approved, whether an outside decorator pays a fee, and how many hours you get to set up and take down. A decorator who has worked in the same ballroom will save you time.
At a farmhouse
A farmhouse is an open space, so the decorator usually builds everything: the mandap, stage, entrance, lighting and seating. Winter nights in Delhi get cold, so ask about heaters and covered areas. Check who provides the generator and toilets for guests.
Fresh flowers
Most decorators buy fresh flowers early in the morning at the Ghazipur phool mandi, Delhi’s largest flower market. Marigold, roses and rajnigandha are easy to find all season. Imported flowers such as orchids and peonies need ordering a few weeks ahead.
Light the way in
Farmhouse lanes are dark at night. Ask your decorator to light the entrance and add a clear sign with the family name at the gate. It helps every driver and guest find the right farmhouse.
When Is the Best Time to Book a Wedding Venue?
Book your venue 9 to 12 months ahead for a peak-season date. The season runs from late November to March, and February is the busiest month. Large farmhouses and popular Saturdays go first.
For the 2026 to 2027 season, Delhi’s wedding dates open after Dev Uthani Ekadashi on 20 November 2026 and run to mid-March 2027, with a break from mid-December to mid-January. February 2027 has the most dates. Always confirm the exact muhurat with your pandit.
| When | What to book |
|---|---|
| 9 to 12 months before | Venue, wedding planner, photographer and makeup artist. |
| 6 to 8 months before | Decorator, caterer if the farmhouse allows outside catering, tent and lighting, music. |
| 3 to 6 months before | Wedding cars, the groom’s entry car and guest shuttles. Send invitations. |
| 1 month before | Final guest numbers, airport pickups for family flying in, and the day-of schedule. |
Which Vendors Do You Need for a South Delhi Wedding?
Most weddings need a venue and caterer, a decorator, a photographer, a makeup artist, a mehendi artist, a pandit, music, and wedding transport. Farmhouse weddings also need tents, heaters and power.
- Venue and caterer.
- Decorator and florist. At a farmhouse, also the tent, lighting, heaters and generator.
- Photographer and videographer.
- Makeup and hair artist, plus a mehendi artist.
- Pandit or priest for the pheras, and the puja items.
- Music: a DJ, a live band and a dhol for the baraat. Check the venue’s sound limits and end time.
- Ghodi or horse for the baraat.
- Valet or parking staff for large farmhouse weddings.
- A wedding planner, if you want one person to manage it all.
- Wedding transport for the couple, the family and every guest.
Wedding Transport with Delhi Cabz
Delhi Cabz has run chauffeur-driven wedding transport in Delhi NCR since 2010. We plan every car you need: the groom’s entry car, the bride’s car, family cars from home to the venue, guest shuttles between hotels and the farmhouse, and airport pickups for relatives arriving from abroad.
In South Delhi our drivers are briefed on the exact farmhouse gate before the night, so guests are dropped at the right door, not just the right lane. You get one coordinator for the whole wedding.
Get a Wedding Transport QuoteGetting There on the Day
- Farmhouse gates in Chhatarpur look alike at night, and phone maps often drop guests at the wrong one. Share a pin for the exact gate with every driver.
- The lanes to the farmhouses are narrow. Cars should drop guests and move to a waiting area, or the lane jams for everyone behind.
- Many guests stay at hotels in Aerocity, Vasant Kunj or Gurgaon. Shuttles on a loop are easier than asking every guest to find the farmhouse.
- Plan the end of the night. When hundreds of guests leave at once, cars need to be ready in order, or the exit becomes a long wait.
- The airport is about 20 to 30 minutes from Vasant Kunj and about 30 to 45 minutes from Chhatarpur, depending on traffic.
Questions Families Ask
I have family flying in from outside India. Should I arrange airport transfers for them?
Yes, we recommend it. After a long flight, guests should not have to find a taxi or deal with currency and phone networks. A chauffeur waits at arrivals with a name board, tracks the flight if it is late, helps with luggage and drives them to their hotel. Share the flight list with your transport company two to three weeks before the wedding.
Should we choose a hotel or a farmhouse in South Delhi?
Choose a hotel if you want everything in one place, rooms for guests and no worries about weather. Choose a farmhouse for a large guest list, open lawns and more freedom with decor. Many families do both: a hotel for the reception and a farmhouse for the wedding night.
How many cars do we need?
Most families need one decorated car for the groom, one for the bride, four to eight cars for close family, and guest shuttles if guests are staying at hotels. For a farmhouse wedding with 300 or more guests, shuttles from the main guest hotels save a lot of confusion.
How much does wedding transport cost?
A chauffeur-driven sedan for a full day (8 hours or 80 km) starts at ₹2,000, an Innova Crysta at ₹3,500, a Fortuner at ₹6,500 and a Mercedes E-Class at ₹12,000, plus taxes. Decoration, extra hours and luxury cars are quoted with your plan.
Our guests keep getting lost finding the farmhouse. What can we do?
Send guests a map pin for the exact gate, not just the farmhouse name. Light the entrance and put up a sign. Better still, run shuttles from the main hotels so guests do not have to find it at all.
Can we book a vintage car or a Rolls-Royce for the groom’s entry?
Yes. Vintage cars and luxury models such as a Rolls-Royce Phantom, Bentley or Range Rover are arranged on request. Farmhouse driveways are perfect for a grand entry. These cars book out quickly in peak season, so reserve one as soon as your date is fixed.
What if the wedding runs late into the night?
That is normal for Delhi weddings. Our chauffeurs stay through the night, and we plan late return trips for guests to hotels and homes across Delhi NCR.
How far ahead should we book wedding transport?
Three to six months ahead for peak-season dates, and earlier for vintage or luxury cars. Final guest numbers and airport pickups can be confirmed about a month before.
