Poolside Lawn

An Enchanting Outdoor Venue

The Poolside Lawn at Mermaid Resorts & Banquets offers a unique and enchanting setting for events that thrive on atmosphere and natural beauty. This open-air venue is centered around the resort's sparkling swimming pool, which serves as a stunning focal point, especially during evening events when it can be beautifully lit. With an estimated capacity to host up to 150 guests, the lawn is perfectly suited for more intimate and relaxed gatherings. It is a highly sought-after space for pre-wedding functions like mehendi and haldi ceremonies, where the informal, festive vibe is paramount. It is also an exceptional choice for evening cocktail receptions, anniversary parties, and upscale birthday celebrations. For corporate clients, the Poolside Lawn provides a refreshing alternative to indoor meeting rooms for networking dinners, team-building icebreakers, or casual after-conference mixers. The combination of the manicured lawn, the shimmering water of the pool, and the open sky creates a memorable resort-style ambiance that cannot be replicated indoors. The space allows guests to mingle freely, enjoying the pleasant coastal breeze and the relaxed elegance of the property, making any event feel like a special getaway.

Crafting Your Poolside Event

Planning an event at the Poolside Lawn involves embracing the outdoors and leveraging the natural scenery. For a cocktail reception, high-top tables can be scattered across the lawn, with a stylish bar set up at one end. The in-house catering team can serve an array of creative passed appetizers and set up live food counters, adding a dynamic element to the dining experience. As dusk falls, the space can be transformed with decorative lighting—string lights, lanterns, and uplighting for the surrounding foliage—to create a magical atmosphere. A small stage can be erected for a live band or a DJ, with the music adding to the celebratory mood. For a mehendi ceremony, low seating, colorful drapes, and floral arrangements can turn the lawn into a vibrant, traditional setting. The key to a successful outdoor event is preparation, and the resort's event team works with planners to ensure every detail is considered. This includes arranging for appropriate power supply for lighting and sound, planning the layout to maximize the views, and, most importantly, having a solid contingency plan. In case of inclement weather, the event can typically be moved to one of the indoor banquet halls, ensuring the celebration can continue uninterrupted.

Why the Poolside Lawn Stands Out

Choosing the Poolside Lawn is a choice for ambiance and experience over sheer capacity. It offers a welcome departure from the conventional banquet hall, providing a backdrop that is both dynamic and serene. An event held here is instantly more memorable, offering guests a sensory experience that engages with the environment. It is particularly effective for setting a relaxed and sophisticated tone, encouraging networking and social interaction in a way that a more formal, enclosed space might not. The venue’s location within the full-service resort means that all the necessary support—from professional catering and beverage service to guest accommodation and parking—is readily available. For planners and hosts who want to create a chic, resort-style event that feels both exclusive and effortlessly elegant, the Poolside Lawn at Mermaid Resorts is an unparalleled choice. It harnesses the best of the resort's leisurely character to create a truly special occasion under the open sky.
