A Himalayan Lawn Setting in Prini, Manali

Lawn-2 at De Vivendi Resorts is an open-air event space set within the resort's grounds in Prini, a quiet village on the outskirts of Manali in Himachal Pradesh. Prini sits away from the bustle of Manali's main market, offering a calmer, more scenic backdrop — with the Kullu-Manali valley's pine-forested ridgelines and mountain peaks forming the natural horizon around the space. The lawn itself is a natural grass expanse that draws on the resort's verdant hillside setting, making it an immediately striking choice for anyone planning an outdoor celebration in the mountains.

The character of Lawn-2 is defined by its openness and its surroundings. Unlike banquet halls that recreate an outdoor feel through décor, this space delivers it organically — fresh mountain air, natural daylight, and a sense of altitude that is difficult to replicate indoors. Evening events benefit from the cool Himalayan temperatures and the resort's ambient lighting, giving gatherings an intimate, memorable quality that urban event venues rarely achieve.

Events & Celebrations

Lawn-2 is well suited to a range of social and celebratory occasions. Destination weddings are among the most popular events hosted here, with couples drawn to the idea of exchanging vows against a genuine mountain backdrop rather than an artificially decorated hall. The lawn format also lends itself naturally to wedding-adjacent functions — mehndi ceremonies, sangeet evenings, cocktail receptions, and post-wedding brunches all benefit from the relaxed, open-air arrangement.

Beyond weddings, the space accommodates corporate retreats, team-building gatherings, and informal networking events for groups who want a departure from conventional conference-room formats. The resort setting in Prini means delegates can combine a productive offsite with the restorative experience of being in the mountains, which is a practical draw for companies planning incentive trips or leadership retreats from cities like Delhi and Chandigarh.

Social celebrations — milestone birthdays, anniversary dinners, family reunions — also find a natural home on Lawn-2, where the informality of an outdoor setting encourages guests to relax and engage with one another rather than conforming to a seated-banquet dynamic.

Location & Accessibility

De Vivendi Resorts sits in Prini, which is positioned a short distance from Manali town along the Naggar road. The nearest major transport hub is Bhuntar Airport (Kullu-Manali Airport), with Manali town itself reachable from Bhuntar by road. From Delhi, Manali is accessible by overnight Volvo bus services that terminate at the Manali Bus Stand, from which Prini is a brief drive. The Prini location keeps guests away from Manali's peak-season congestion while keeping the town's restaurants, the Hadimba Temple, and the Old Manali area all within easy reach.

For event planners, the resort's position in Prini means guests arriving from outside Himachal Pradesh can be accommodated on-site, reducing the logistical complexity of managing transfers across a dispersed guest list — a meaningful advantage for destination weddings and multi-day corporate retreats alike.

Its open-air, mountain-lawn format makes it especially popular for milestone events where the natural Himalayan surroundings are part of the experience.

Lawn-2 is an open-air, natural grass lawn space within De Vivendi Resorts in Prini, Manali — it is entirely outdoors and exposed to the elements. Manali's mountain weather can change quickly, particularly during the monsoon months and shoulder seasons. Guests planning events here are strongly advised to discuss weather contingency arrangements, such as tent or canopy installations, with the resort directly before confirming a booking.

Specific guest capacity figures for Lawn-2 have not been independently confirmed for this listing. The capacity will vary depending on the event format — for example, a seated banquet dinner will accommodate fewer guests than a standing cocktail reception. For accurate numbers tailored to your event layout, it is best to reach out to the De Vivendi Resorts events team directly.

De Vivendi Resorts is located in Prini, a village a short distance from Manali town in Himachal Pradesh, situated along the Naggar road. The nearest airport is Bhuntar (Kullu-Manali Airport), and Manali is also reachable from Delhi via overnight Volvo bus services. From Manali Bus Stand or Bhuntar Airport, Prini is accessible by road, and the resort can advise on the most convenient transfer options for arriving guests.

Prini sits away from the congestion and noise of Manali's main market area, making it a notably quieter and more serene setting compared to venues closer to the town centre. This residential, valley-edge character is one of the key reasons couples choose De Vivendi Resorts for destination weddings, as it allows for a more private and intimate atmosphere. That said, guests should check with the resort regarding any local noise or event curfew guidelines that may apply.

De Vivendi Resorts is a resort property, which means on-site accommodation is available for event guests — a significant advantage for destination weddings and multi-day corporate retreats where managing guest transfers across Manali can be complex. The exact number of rooms and room types available should be confirmed with the resort, as availability will depend on the dates and the size of your group.

Whether De Vivendi Resorts provides in-house catering for Lawn-2 events or permits external caterers has not been confirmed for this listing. This is an important detail for event budgeting and menu planning, so prospective clients should clarify the catering policy — including cuisine options, alcohol service, and any vendor tie-up requirements — directly with the resort before signing a contract.

Open-air lawn venues like Lawn-2 are typically well suited to custom decoration, including mandap or altar setups, floral installations, draping, lighting rigs, and furniture arrangements that reflect the couple's chosen theme. Whether De Vivendi Resorts works with preferred décor vendors or permits independent decorators to access the space should be confirmed with the events team. Couples planning elaborate setups are advised to discuss access timings and ground-protection requirements with the resort in advance.

De Vivendi Resorts is located in Prini and is a resort property, which suggests parking space on or near the premises. However, specific details about parking capacity or valet services have not been independently confirmed for this listing. Hosts expecting a large number of self-drive guests should consult the resort about available parking arrangements and any overflow options.

Confirmed details about built-in AV infrastructure or sound systems at Lawn-2 are not available for this listing. Outdoor events such as sangeet evenings or corporate offsite presentations typically require external sound and lighting equipment, which may be arranged through the resort or via approved vendors. Event planners should discuss AV requirements with De Vivendi Resorts well ahead of the event date to ensure the necessary equipment can be sourced and installed.

Manali's most favourable outdoor event season generally runs from late April through June and again from September through October, when the weather is mild, skies are clearer, and mountain views are at their most dramatic. The monsoon season, typically July to August, brings heavy rainfall and can make outdoor lawn events challenging. Winter months from November onwards see significant snowfall and cold temperatures that may affect the feasibility of an open-air setup, so guests should align their event date with the mountain climate and discuss seasonal considerations with the resort.

Lawn-2 is not restricted to weddings — the space and the surrounding resort environment in Prini make it a strong choice for corporate retreats, team-building gatherings, and incentive trips for companies looking to take their teams out of a conventional office or conference-room setting. The combination of an open-air lawn and a mountain resort property appeals to organisations planning offsite events from cities such as Delhi and Chandigarh. Specific corporate packages and availability should be discussed with the resort's events team.

De Vivendi Resorts is situated in Prini, which is close enough to Manali town to allow guests convenient access to popular attractions including the Hadimba Temple and the Old Manali area.

Prospective clients can enquire about Lawn-2 availability and pricing by contacting De Vivendi Resorts directly through their official website at devivendiresorts.in. Event pricing for open-air lawn spaces typically depends on factors such as guest count, event duration, catering requirements, and the time of year. It is advisable to reach out well in advance of your preferred date, especially for peak Manali seasons, as availability for destination weddings and large events tends to book up early.
