Reception Venues in Thiruvananthapuram

Thiruvananthapuram offers 21 reception venues spread across distinct pockets of the city — from the beachfront stretches of Kovalam and Samudra Beach to the urban hubs of Thampanoor, Palayam, and PMG. The stock leans towards mid-size banquet halls, with more than half the listed venues suited for gatherings under 200 guests, and a handful of larger properties that can comfortably host celebrations of 600 or more.

A Venue Mix That Reflects the City

The venue types across Thiruvananthapuram's reception landscape are genuinely varied. Banquet halls form the core, but the listings also include distinctive spaces such as Bay Halls, Light House Halls, and a venue named Waves — settings that carry a coastal character unique to this city. Properties like Sun Tara Beach Resort and Uday Samudra Leisure Beach Hotel bring a seaside atmosphere to the occasion, while Classic Sarovar Portico, Thiruvananthapuram and Hycinth Hotels, Thiruvananthapuram offer full-service hotel banquet setups. For something more secluded, Estuary Sarovar Portico, Poovar Island sits on Poovar Island — a setting that few other cities in India can match.

Matching Your Guest Count to the Right Venue

Capacity across the 21 venues runs from as few as 4 to a maximum of 1,000 guests, with a typical range of 50 to 250. Of the listed properties, 53 fall under the 200-guest mark — making this a strong city for receptions with a focused, intimate guest list. For larger celebrations, 6 venues cross the 600-guest threshold; Mascot Hotel, Trivandrum and Dimora, Thiruvananthapuram are among the established names worth exploring at that scale. The Central Residency is another city-centre option suitable for mid-range guest lists.
