What food costs at The Paul, Bengaluru, by guest count
The Paul, Bengaluru prices catering per plate. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 150 | ₹3,000–₹6,000 × 150 | ₹4.5 lakh–₹9 lakh | ₹9 lakh–₹18 lakh |

Indicative, from our own venue file (recorded Aug 2026, not yet checked against a published rate). Food only.
How The Paul, Bengaluru charges
The Paul, Bengaluru 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 The Paul, Bengaluru 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 — 88 on site, billed per night on top of the wedding, and usually the thing that decides whether guests stay over or drive back.
- 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 The Paul, Bengaluru on one sheet before you compare it with anywhere else.
How many guests The Paul, Bengaluru really holds
The Paul, Bengaluru is on file at 50–400 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 280 at that peak leaves room for queues at the food and the car park. How to work out that peak.
88 rooms on site set how much of the list can stay over, and so how much transport you run.

How many guests does The Paul, Bengaluru hold?
The Paul, Bengaluru in MG Road holds 50–400 guests, with 88 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.
How much is catering at The Paul, Bengaluru for 400 guests?
At The Paul, Bengaluru's indicative rate of ₹3,000–₹6,000 per plate, food for 400 guests across two functions comes to ₹24 lakh–₹48 lakh.

The rate is indicative, from our own venue file (recorded Aug 2026, not yet checked against a published rate), and we confirm it against your date before quoting.
What is not included in the price quoted for The Paul, Bengaluru?
A venue quotes venue money. The plate rate covers food. Mandap build and decor, photography and film, purohit and ritual materials, 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 The Paul, Bengaluru big enough for our guest list?
The Paul, Bengaluru is on file at 50–400 guests, the largest layout it lists. Size the wedding to the people present during the muhurtham hour rather than the invitation list; around 280 at that peak is a comfortable fit.
Hosting here as a Bangalore family
The fit
The Paul, Bengaluru is a boutique luxury hotel, which for a family wedding means the ballroom serves as mantapa hall and reception room on the plate model: a minimum guest number, the hotel's own kitchen, and the banquet team's run-sheet. The 400-guest ceiling is the first number to check against your list, because a hotel wedding that spills past the ballroom is two weddings. 88 rooms upstairs put the fly-in side of the family under the same roof as the muhurtham.
The muhurtham morning
With 400 on file, size the morning to the muhurtham-hour peak, not the total invited. The muhurtham morning, hour by hour sets out how The Paul, Bengaluru's kind of venue runs it.
Rituals
Whether the homa may be lit indoors, and in which hall, is a property-by-property rule at Bangalore hotels, so it is the first question we put to The Paul, Bengaluru in writing, before a site visit. Some hotels designate a fire-capable banquet space, some move the rite to the lawn, and the oonjal needs something rated to hang it from. Catering is the hotel’s own kitchen under the plate model. See the fire question for how the clause should read.
Getting the family here
Guests from every quarter converge on the city core, and so does the traffic. Relatives arriving by train at KSR Bengaluru City are closest here; those landing at Kempegowda International have the full airport road ahead of them, which on a morning muhurtham means a dawn pickup. 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.
