The Space & Its Character

The Celebration Lawn at Chokhi Dhani Surat – The Ethnic Village & Restaurant is an open-air event lawn set within a Rajasthani-themed ethnic village and amusement complex in Chalthan, Surat. The space draws its identity from the vibrant folk culture and heritage aesthetics that define the broader Chokhi Dhani experience — think earthy tones, traditional motifs, and the warm, festive energy of a Rajasthani mela brought to life in the heart of South Gujarat. For couples and planners seeking a venue that delivers both a sense of occasion and cultural richness, the Celebration Lawn offers an outdoor setting with a character that few standalone banquet halls can match.

Being an open-air lawn, the space benefits from natural light and open skies, making it especially well-suited to daytime ceremonies and evening functions lit by decorative lighting against the village backdrop. The surrounding ethnic village infrastructure — with folk art installations, traditional architecture, and landscaped grounds — means that the venue itself serves as décor, lending any event an inherently festive and distinctive atmosphere without requiring extensive external dressing.

Events & Occasions

The Celebration Lawn is designed to accommodate a wide range of social and celebratory events. Weddings and pre-wedding functions such as mehandis, sangeets, and haldis are a natural fit given the colourful, culturally rooted setting. The lawn's open format also lends itself to large-scale social gatherings, milestone birthday celebrations, engagement ceremonies, and community festivities.

Corporate teams occasionally use venues of this type within ethnic village properties for team outings, offsites, and cultural-themed conferences where an experiential setting is preferred over a conventional hotel ballroom. The blend of entertainment, dining, and event infrastructure that Chokhi Dhani Surat offers as a campus means attendees can move seamlessly between the event and the broader attractions of the property — an advantage that is difficult to replicate in a standalone venue.

Catering at the property is anchored in traditional Rajasthani cuisine, served in the distinctive thali format for which the Chokhi Dhani brand is widely recognised. For events on the Celebration Lawn, the on-site food and beverage team can be engaged to deliver the same heritage dining experience, adding a memorable culinary layer to the event programme. Specific menu packages and customisation options are best discussed directly with the property's events team.

Location & Accessibility

Chokhi Dhani Surat is located in Chalthan, on the outskirts of Surat in Gujarat. Chalthan sits along the national highway corridor connecting Surat to other major cities in the region, making the property accessible by road from Surat city. Surat itself is well-connected by rail — Surat Railway Station is one of the busiest junctions on the Western Railway line — and by air via Surat Airport (now operating as a domestic hub). For guests travelling from within Surat or from neighbouring cities such as Bharuch or Navsari, the location offers a practical yet destination-like setting that adds to the event's appeal.
