At Atithi Venue, our goal is to make every event seamless and memorable. Please take a moment to review and follow these simple guidelines so we can deliver the finest experience for you and your guests.
Communication
For convenience and easy reference to past conversations, WhatsApp is the preferred mode of communication with all service teams.
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.​
​​
Banquet Menu
Together with the CurryBlends team, you’ll have the opportunity to select and personalize your banquet menu. The process includes reviewing your included banquet menu, customizing dishes to your preferences, tasting, and finalizing selections. You’re welcome to enhance your menu with additional or upgraded items. To ensure smooth coordination and ingredient availability, please complete your menu selections at least two weeks prior to your event. We look forward to crafting a delightful dining experience that you and your guests will fondly remember for years to come.

Note: If an external caterer is involved, please submit the Waiver Form and applicable fees that may apply. See below.
​
Dining Service & Table Settings
Your preferred level of service and pricing will reflect your selected banquet options, servery setup, and choice of tableware, crockery, cutlery, and glassware. To ensure a smooth and delightful experience, please review and confirm these details during the booking process. Most events at Atithi Venue opt for a formal dining setup featuring fine enamel crockery and luxury stainless-steel cutlery, available in two tiers - Premium: Appetizer plate and fork; dinner plate, spoon, and fork; bowl; dessert cup and spoon; and glass goblet, and Standard: Appetizer plate and fork; dinner plate, spoon, and fork. For budget-sensitive occasions, disposable options are also available. Dining helpers are assigned and scaled to match your selected setting and final guest count, ensuring consistent quality of service.
​
Décor and Design
The Atithi Design Team creates elegant and personalized décor for weddings, celebrations, and corporate gatherings, all thoughtfully tailored and well-priced. Décor packages start at $1,500. You can explore examples of our work on the Décor Page. We recommend beginning your planning about six weeks before your event, when you’ll connect with our décor specialist. You may either share your décor budget for a guided, creative design within your range, or provide inspiration images and your vision for a custom quote crafted just for you.
​
Note: A coordination fee applies if an external vendor is hired for decoration. See below.​

Audio & Video Overview
Atithi Venue is equipped with a sophisticated audio and visual system designed to accommodate a variety of events. The system is optimized for the hall’s capacity and acoustics, ensuring an enjoyable experience for both hosts and guests. Our default AV setup provides plug-and-play convenience, featuring a 3.5mm male jack for audio input and an HDMI connection for video display across multiple TVs throughout the venue. The setup includes two wireless microphones, and mic stands are available for host use. Additional microphones may be arranged upon request for an added cost.
NOTE: Audio performance may vary depending on factors such as input device quality, file format, microphone handling, audience size, and ambient noise. For audio-sensitive events or live performances, we recommend upgrading to our Enhanced AV Service, which includes: A dedicated onsite technician (up to 3 hours); Active sound control and monitoring throughout the event; Live stage display on hall screens; and Optional streaming setup to your online platform.​

As a guideline: If you are satisfied with the services, 5–8% of the total amount is suggested. If you felt truly pampered, you may consider 10–12%. All gratuities should be given to an Atithi representative… to be distributed among team members involved.
