Tivoli Chhatarpur offers multiple banquet halls and lawns. How do you ensure flexibility for both corporate events and large weddings?
At Tivoli Chhatarpur, every celebration finds its perfect space. Whether it’s a power-packed corporate soirée or a grand wedding under the stars, our banquet halls, lush lawns, and iconic poolside can be shaped to match your vision. From intimate gatherings to thousand-guest spectacles, every event flows effortlessly with décor, sound, and ambience crafted just for you.
What truly sets Tivoli apart is the warmth behind the grandeur. Our chefs curate menus that delight every palate, while our dedicated teams ensure every detail from the first light cue to the final toast feels personal, seamless, and unforgettable. Because at Tivoli, every event isn’t just hosted, it’s heartfully celebrated.
Personalisation is key in weddings today. How does Tivoli support customised décor, pre-wedding functions, and themed experiences?
At Tivoli Chhatarpur, we believe every wedding should feel like yours not a template. That’s why personalisation sits at the heart of everything we do. From custom décor concepts inspired by your story to bespoke setups for mehendi, cocktail nights, and pheras, our creative teams work hand-in-hand with you and your planners to bring every emotion and detail to life. Whether it’s a royal Rajasthani soirée, a dreamy pastel garden wedding, or a glitzy Bollywood sangeet, each corner of Tivoli transforms to reflect your vision.
But beyond the beauty, it’s the warmth of our service and the depth of our understanding that make the experience truly personal. Our chefs curate tailored menus, our lighting and floral teams match your mood boards, and our event managers ensure every moment flows just as you imagined. Because at Tivoli, we don’t just host weddings we help you create memories that feel like you.
Food is central to any celebration. What makes Tivoli’s culinary offerings stand out for large weddings and multi-day events?
At Tivoli Chhatarpur, food isn’t just part of the celebration — it’s the heartbeat of it. With decades of culinary excellence, our chefs craft experiences that go far beyond the plate. From lavish multi-cuisine spreads to themed live counters and regional delicacies, every menu is thoughtfully designed to match the mood and grandeur of your celebrations. Each function — be it mehendi brunch, cocktail night, or the wedding feast — gets its own distinctive flavour and presentation.
What truly sets Tivoli apart is the art of balance — global finesse meets Indian soul. Our kitchens serve everything from gourmet sushi and Mediterranean grills to timeless North Indian classics, all prepared fresh and beautifully plated for large gatherings. And with customised tasting sessions, themed food stations, and impeccable service, Tivoli ensures every bite tells a story — one that your guests will remember long after the wedding lights dim.
How do you integrate technology, AV, and guest comfort to enhance both MICE and wedding experiences?
At Tivoli Chhatarpur, we believe technology should elevate emotion — not overpower it. From intelligent lighting systems that sync with décor themes to state-of-the-art sound and projection setups, every detail is designed for an immersive yet sustainable experience.
Under our green initiative, “Vatavaran — A Greener Tivoli,” we’ve consciously integrated eco-friendly practices into our event design. This means LED-based energy-efficient lighting, water conservation systems, biodegradable serveware for outdoor events, and extensive use of local flora in décor. Even our tech and AV systems are optimized for low energy consumption without compromising on quality or ambience.
At its heart, Vatavaran is more than an initiative — it’s our promise to make every celebration not only beautiful, but also responsible and future-forward. Because at Tivoli, luxury and sustainability are meant to grow hand in hand.
Weddings can be grand yet cost-sensitive. How do you balance luxury with budget-friendly options?
We understand that Indian weddings are grand at heart but often come with thoughtful budgets. Tivoli offers modular packages that balance indulgence with value — allowing families to choose from customised décor palettes, flexible menu plans, and multi-function venue combinations. Whether you want a grand destination-style celebration or an elegant, intimate affair, our in-house teams optimise every element — décor, lighting, F&B, and logistics — to deliver a luxury experience that feels effortless, not extravagant. After all, true luxury is about experience, not expense.
Could you share how many weddings and corporate events Tivoli has hosted recently, and what trends these numbers highlight?
In the past year alone, Tivoli Chhatarpur has proudly hosted over 300 weddings and 150+ corporate events, welcoming guests from across India and abroad. The numbers highlight two clear trends the rise of multi-day celebration formats and a growing demand for experience-driven corporate events. Guests today look for storytelling through décor, cuisine, and music not just scale. Our spaces have evolved to meet that demand, offering transformable venues that effortlessly shift from a boardroom setup to a baraat-ready courtyard.
The new trend? Celebrations with purpose. Corporate retreats are embracing wedding-style hospitality with curated dining, entertainment zones, and immersive experiences.
Similarly, weddings are borrowing from corporate precision — with digital guest coordination, live-streaming setups, and sustainable planning. Tivoli is leading this evolution with tech-enabled planning tools, modular venue layouts, and integrated experience design, blending efficiency with emotion.
Because whether it’s a business milestone or a marriage celebration, at Tivoli, every gathering deserves to be unforgettable in feeling, in flavour, and in finesse.
