What does a wedding at Aldovia cost in 2026?
Aldovia is a convention resort at Near Kempegowda International Airport. It seats 200–5,000 guests. Catering runs from ₹1,000–₹1,300 a plate, so food for 600 guests at one function works out at ₹6 lakh–₹7.8 lakh and up. Most families here run two or three functions. Figures are indicative and come from the venue's WedMeGood listing as at 11 Sep 2026, not a quote — we confirm the current rate against your muhurtham before we price the wedding.
What food costs at Aldovia, by guest count
Aldovia prices catering per plate, with vegetarian and non-vegetarian rates quoted separately. The sum below is that rate multiplied out — nothing more, so you can check it. The right-hand column assumes two catered functions, which is what most families here run.
| Guests | The working | One function | Two functions |
|---|---|---|---|
| 200 | ₹1,000–₹1,300 × 200 | ₹2 lakh–₹2.6 lakh+ | ₹4 lakh–₹5.2 lakh+ |
| 600 | ₹1,000–₹1,300 × 600 | ₹6 lakh–₹7.8 lakh+ | ₹12 lakh–₹16 lakh+ |
| 2,000 | ₹1,000–₹1,300 × 2,000 | ₹20 lakh–₹26 lakh+ | ₹40 lakh–₹52 lakh+ |
Indicative: a starting price from the venue's WedMeGood listing as at 11 Sep 2026, so treat every total as a starting point. Food only.
How Aldovia charges
Aldovia prices per plate against a minimum guarantee — a guest number you commit to and pay for whether or not everyone comes. The per-plate rate is the headline, but the guarantee is the number that decides your bill.
The guarantee is negotiable, and it is the most useful thing to negotiate. Off-season dates, weekday muhurthams and multi-function bookings all move it. If your realistic count is 300 and the venue opens at a guarantee of 500, that gap is the conversation to have before anything is signed.
The other thing to settle early is what the plate rate includes: whether it covers the full menu you want or a base menu with live counters and desserts billed on top, and whether service charge and taxes sit inside the quoted figure or outside it. Two venues quoting the same plate rate can land a long way apart on both.
What the Aldovia figure does not include
The plate rate above covers food, and that is the correct way for a venue to quote — but it is roughly half of what a wedding here ends up costing. The rest is contracted separately, by you or by us:
- Mandap build and decor — the largest line after the venue and food, and the one with the widest spread. What gets built, not where it gets built, decides it.
- Photography and film — priced per day and per crew, and it goes up with the number of functions rather than the number of guests.
- Purohit, ritual materials and the muhurtham — small against the total, but it sets the timeline everything else runs to.
- Rooms — on site, billed per night on top of the wedding; the venue publishes no room count, so ask how many it can hold for your date.
- Transport — buses or cars between stay, venue and station or airport, priced per vehicle per day.
- Planning and production — quoted against the brief.
None of this is hidden; a venue simply quotes for the venue. Ask for the whole wedding at Aldovia on one sheet before you compare it with anywhere else.
How many guests Aldovia really holds
Aldovia is on file at 200–5,000 guests. Read the top figure as the largest layout the venue lists, and size the wedding to the number of people present during the muhurtham hour; around 3,500 at that peak leaves room for queues at the food and the car park. How to work out that peak.

| Fiestaa | Boyalahalli Village | 60–2,000 | 49 | Quoted per date |
No row here is better than another. Rooms on site change the transport plan; a per-plate venue moves with your guest count, and a hire venue moves with your caterer. Compare totals for the same wedding, not headline rates.

Mantapa build and decor, purohit, photography, stay and transport are priced on top. Capacity on file is 5,000 guests.

How many guests does Aldovia hold?
Aldovia in Near Kempegowda International Airport holds 200–5,000 guests. For a Bangalore wedding the working number is usually the muhurtham-hour peak, not the total invited — plan the venue around the hour everyone is present at once.
How far is Aldovia from the airport?
Our file for Aldovia records: “10 minutes from Kempegowda International Airport (aldovia.in, 16 Oct 2026)”. Confirm it in writing with the venue for your date before you sign.

What is not included in the price quoted for Aldovia?
A venue quotes venue money. The plate rate covers food. Mandap build and decor, photography and film, purohit and ritual materials, guest stay, transport and planning are all contracted separately. Those lines together are usually about as large again as the venue's own number, which is why a venue quote and a wedding budget are different documents.
Is Aldovia big enough for our guest list?

Hosting here as a Bangalore family
The fit
Aldovia Resort & Convention (formerly Clarks Exotica) is the kind of venue a Bangalore family's wedding was designed around: a hall for the muhurtham, dining that turns over in sittings, and a stage the photographs are taken on. At 200–5,000 guests it is sized for the full invitation list rather than a trimmed one. The building assumes the rite, so the homa, the oonjal hook and the early start are the venue's normal day.
The muhurtham morning
With 5,000 on file, size the morning to the muhurtham-hour peak, not the total invited. The muhurtham morning, hour by hour sets out how Aldovia's kind of venue runs it.
Rituals
A Kannadiga, Telugu or Tamil wedding here will want the homa on the mantapa, and a hall built for weddings assumes it. We still confirm the specifics in writing: which space, what floor protection, and that no fire charge appears later. We confirm the outside-catering position with the venue before you book. For a Telugu lagna that falls after midnight, the overnight slot is a separate contract conversation, and we have it first.
Getting the family here
For a family in the city core, the south or Whitefield this is the airport-road run north. Relatives flying in land at Kempegowda International on this same side of the city, so the airport pickup is the short leg and the city crossing is the one to plan. Its own file says “10 minutes from Kempegowda International Airport (aldovia.in, 16 Oct 2026)”. We confirm the parking count with the venue and put the answer on the invitation, with valet where the lot is thin. Outstation relatives are housed in one or two hotels near the venue and moved by fixed shuttle per function. Moving the wedding through Bangalore has the timing rules.
