What Sumatra costs
Our venue file puts Sumatra on the model that sells the day rather than the plate. By its own website, the venue offers planning, coordination and decor, with partners for catering (sumatraweddings.com, checked 16 Oct 2026). The 2 venues in South Bangalore that print a catering figure on this site quote ₹1,050–₹5,500 a plate (listing starting prices and our own venue file, Aug–Sep 2026).
Its WedMeGood listing shows the price on request (as at 11 Sep 2026). Anything the venue has not published, we leave blank rather than print a plausible figure.
That band, ≈ $12–$63 / £9.3–£49 / AED 44–AED 231, is the range to hold a budget against while we get Sumatra to answer, not a quote from Sumatra. The full cost page shows how the rest of the wedding sits on top.
Its WedMeGood listing also records: outside catering permitted; no alcohol (as at 11 Sep 2026).

What does a wedding at Sumatra cost in 2026?
Sumatra is a indonesian-inspired outdoor wedding venue at Raghavana Palya. It seats 100–900 guests and has 8 rooms on site. The venue quotes against the date rather than publishing a rate, so the figure comes back with the enquiry. Its WedMeGood listing shows the price on request (as at 11 Sep 2026). We confirm the current rate against your muhurtham before we price the wedding.
How Sumatra charges
Sumatra quotes against the date rather than publishing a standing rate, as many Bangalore venues do. The figure comes back with the enquiry and moves with the month, the day of the week and the muhurtham hour.
When it arrives, read it for the model before the number: whether it is a flat hire with catering left to you, or a per-plate rate against a minimum guest guarantee. The two are not comparable on the headline figure, and the guarantee — where there is one — is the number that decides the bill.
How many guests Sumatra really holds
Sumatra is on file at 100–900 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 630 at that peak leaves room for queues at the food and the car park. How to work out that peak.
8 rooms on site set how much of the list can stay over, and so how much transport you run.
How Sumatra compares with other venues in South Bangalore
Sumatra next to nearby venues on guests, rooms and rate. Rates are indicative, not quotes: a WedMeGood tag marks a starting price from the venue's own listing, and an our-file tag a figure we have not yet checked against a published rate.
| Venue | Where | Guests | Rooms | Indicative rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sumatra (this page) | Raghavana Palya | 100–900 | 8 | Quoted per date |
| Ananda Convention | Hulimavu | 200–1,200 | 10 | Quoted per date |
| The Oterra (formerly Crowne Plaza Electronics City) | Electronics City | 100–1,200 | 271 | ₹3,000–₹5,500 a plate our file, Aug 2026 |
| Lemon Tree Premier, Electronics City | Electronics City Phase 1 | Not on file | — | Quoted per date |
| MG Magnus (Miraya Greens) | Sakalwara Road | 100–2,400 | 33 | Quoted per date |
| Panchavati Pavilion | Pattareddy Palya | 100–2,000 | 26 | ₹7.3 lakh hire WedMeGood, Sep 2026 |
| Royalton Leisure | Bannerghatta Road | 200–1,500 | 65 | 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.

Where to read reviews of Sumatra
Reviews of Sumatra are easiest to find on Google Maps and on its WedMeGood listing. We do not rate venues or reprint review scores: a review describes one wedding on one day.
On a site visit, check what reviews rarely cover: whether parking for 150 cars holds everyone at the muhurtham hour; the kitchen your caterer would cook in; where the homa may be lit; the power backup for lights and sound.
Questions couples and parents ask about Sumatra
What does a wedding at Sumatra cost?
Sumatra, Raghavana Palya quotes per date rather than publishing a rate. Its WedMeGood listing shows the price on request (as at 11 Sep 2026). Its own file puts it on the model that sells the day rather than the plate — one figure for the space and its hours, with the catering contracted separately to a caterer the family chooses. The 2 venues in South Bangalore with a catering figure on this site quote ₹1,050–₹5,500 a plate (≈ $12–$63 / £9.3–£49 / AED 44–AED 231; listing starting prices and our own venue file, Aug–Sep 2026), which is the range to hold a budget against until this one answers. Capacity on file is 100–900 guests, and the plate count is what the total turns on. Its WedMeGood listing also records: outside catering permitted; no alcohol (as at 11 Sep 2026). Send us the muhurtham date and a guest number and we ask Sumatra for its current figure, then quote the wedding as one total rather than a plate rate.
How many guests does Sumatra hold?
Sumatra in Raghavana Palya holds 100–900 guests, with 8 rooms on the property for guests staying over. 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.
Does Sumatra allow outside caterers?
Our file for Sumatra records: “Alcohol-free venue — outside catering permitted”. Confirm it in writing with the venue for your date before you sign.
How much parking does Sumatra have?
Our file for Sumatra records: “Parking for 150 cars with valet service”. Confirm it in writing with the venue for your date before you sign.
What is not included in the price quoted for Sumatra?
A venue quotes venue money. A plate rate covers food; a hire covers the property for the function. Mandap build and decor, photography and film, purohit and ritual materials, catering unless the venue's quote includes it, rooms for guests staying over, 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 Sumatra big enough for our guest list?
Sumatra is on file at 100–900 guests, the largest layout it lists. Size the wedding to the people present during the muhurtham hour rather than the invitation list; around 630 at that peak is a comfortable fit.
What is the address of Sumatra?
Our file places Sumatra at Raghavana Palya, JP Nagar 9th Phase, South Bangalore. We have not found an address published by the venue itself (checked 16 Oct 2026). Search for "Sumatra" in Google Maps for the pin and directions.
How do I contact Sumatra?
To reach Sumatra directly: phone +91 89044 45046 (sumatraweddings.com, checked 16 Oct 2026). Its website is sumatraweddings.com. The Bangalore Wedding House is a wedding planning studio, not the venue: send us your name and WhatsApp number and we will check your date with Sumatra and tell you what its quote leaves out.
Where can I see photos of Sumatra?
We publish only venue photographs we have permission to use, and we have none of Sumatra yet. The venue's own pictures are on Instagram (@sumatraweddings).
Hosting here as a Bangalore family
The fit
Sumatra is a indonesian-inspired outdoor wedding venue. On a lawn the mantapa is built rather than inherited, so its position, its size and its fire arrangement are drawn for your wedding from the ground up. The lawn takes 100–900 guests. If the family wants the full rite outdoors and the reception under cover, check that the property has both.
The muhurtham morning
With 900 on file, size the morning to the muhurtham-hour peak, not the total invited. The muhurtham morning, hour by hour sets out how Sumatra's kind of venue runs it.
Rituals
Outdoors, the fire question mostly dissolves: the mantapa on the lawn holds its homa with simple ground protection, which is one of the quiet reasons a resort or garden wedding suits the full rite. We still confirm with Sumatra where the mantapa may stand and whether the rite can move under cover if it rains. The file records “Alcohol-free venue — outside catering permitted”. The fire question covers the clause.
Getting the family here
Bannerghatta Road and the Electronic City side are a straightforward run for a family in JP Nagar or Jayanagar, and a long morning for relatives coming from Yelahanka or the airport. House the fly-in side of the family near the venue the night before. On parking, the file records “Parking for 150 cars with valet service”; we state the parking answer on the invitation and add 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.
