Your date is set!  Plan. Customize. Celebrate.

Communication
For convenience and easy reference to past conversations, WhatsApp is the preferred mode of communication with all service teams.

Booking Reference
Please refer to your booking using your primary phone number, event date, and time in all communications.  Once the deposit is made, coordination typically begins 30–60 days prior to the event with the Dining, Décor, and add-on services teams.  Any addition of services after the booking, and payment updates must continue to be coordinated through the Atithi Venue booking line at (945) 283 4932. Please review our rules and guidelines.

​

Point of Contact
For coordination purposes, Atithi Venue accepts only one primary point of contact (POC) for each event.  This approach helps streamline the planning process and avoids any miscommunication between the host and the venue.  By default, the POC is the individual who books the event and pays the deposit.  However, it is common for the host to assign specific leads for areas such as Dining (Menu), Décor (Design), or Services (Bar, DJ, AV, etc.), who may make decisions in their respective domains on behalf of the host.​

​

Payment Schedule
Once you have secured your event date, with an initial non-refundable retainer of $1,000, 50% of the total balance must be paid no later than 2 months prior to the event date.  Final payment in full is due 30 days before the event.  A 5% processing fee applies to all credit card payments.  Please note that All payments are non-refundable in the event of cancellation.  Event dates cannot be changed or rescheduled under any circumstances; no exceptions.

​

Dining and Menu Selection
For your banquet package and menu selection, please visit our Dining page and share your preliminary menu, along with a reference to your event, with Curry Blends via WhatsApp at (945) 289 4935 to begin the process of customization, tasting, and finalization.  You are welcome to add or upgrade menu items as desired. To ensure smooth execution and ingredient availability, please finalize your menu at least two weeks prior to your event to avoid any last-minute adjustments or surcharges.  We look forward to collaborating with you to create a memorable dining experience that you and your guests will cherish for years to come.

Note: If an external caterer is involved, please submit the Waiver Form and applicable fees that may apply.  See below.

​

Décor and Design Services
The Atithi Design Team offers elegant, customized, and well-priced décor solutions for weddings, celebrations, and corporate events.  Décor packages typically start at $1,500.  Explore examples of our work on our Décor Page.  To begin planning (ideally six weeks prior to your event), connect with Atithi Décor via WhatsApp at (972) 983 4635. You may choose one of two convenient options: (1) Provide a décor budget, and our designer will guide and present creative options within that range, or (2) Share inspiration photos or your design vision, and our designer will propose a tailored quote based on your preferences.

Note: A coordination fee applies if an external vendor is hired for decoration. See below.​

​

Audio & Video Requirements
Our default AV system offers plug-and-play convenience and is designed to meet the capacity and acoustics of the venue.  However, please note that the audio experience can vary based on factors such as input device quality, file format, microphone handling, audience size, and background noise.  For audio-sensitive events or live performances, we recommend booking our enhanced AV service, which includes - A dedicated onsite technician for up to 3 hours, Active sound control and monitoring throughout the event, Live stage display on hall screens, and an optional streaming setup to your online platform.​
