Which space suits which function at Hilton Goa Resort
A first split by size, from the figures above. The hotel assigns spaces per date, so treat this as the question to ask, not the answer.
- The ceremony fits the Banyan Lawn, 90 seated banquet-style / 220 standing.
- A reception can follow in the Grand Ballroom (80 seated banquet-style / 450 standing).
- A sangeet or an after-party that runs past 10 pm belongs in the Grand Ballroom (80 seated banquet-style / 450 standing), the largest indoor room on the charts, which is also the rain plan to name in the contract for every outdoor function.
- For a mehendi or haldi in daylight, the Upper Terrazo (60 seated banquet-style / 110 standing) is the smaller outdoor choice.
