The walled garden behind the house, set up for ceremonies.
The reception rooms inside the villa as a backup for bad weather.
The outdoor kitchen where traditional deg dishes are prepared.
The separate room for the engagement ceremony.
“Ashwin now runs this villa together with his mother and you can feel it, everything feels personal rather than corporate. The walled garden was exactly right for our 85 guests during the ceremony.”
“Our regular cook prepared the deg dishes in the outdoor kitchen on the side, the smell drifted through the garden from the reception onward. It gave a genuinely authentic feel that we missed at other halls.”
“No curfew meant we could keep going deep into the night without watching the clock. Free parking on-site was also a relief with around 110 guests.”
“The name Radha still stands in ornamental letters above the door, just as Ashwin's grandmother once chose it. Details like that make a villa feel a little warmer than a rented hall.”
“We held the engagement ceremony in the separate indoor room while the garden was still being set up for the party the next day. Handy that both were possible without rebuilding anything.”
“The only small downside was some shuffling between garden and indoors when it rained, but Ashwin had already planned for that and the rooms were ready as backup. Otherwise a lovely experience.”
