Which space suits which function at W Goa
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 Rockpool, 450 seated / 1,000 standing.
- A reception can follow on the Sea View Lawn (300 seated / 500 standing), with the music outdoors ending at 10 pm.
- A sangeet or an after-party that runs past 10 pm belongs in the Hive (600 seated at banquet rounds), 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 Spectacular Lawn (200 seated / 400 standing) is the smaller outdoor choice.
