What Affects Wedding Venue Pricing in Kathmandu?
Guest Count
Per-plate pricing scales linearly with headcount. Most venues set a 200-guest minimum and charge a per-plate surcharge above the included floor.
Date & Season
Saait dates in Mangsir and Falgun (peak wedding season) command 20-40% premium over off-season Asar/Shrawan bookings. Saturdays cost more than weekdays.
Menu — Veg vs Non-veg
Non-veg buffets typically add NPR 200-500 per plate over veg. Live counters (chaat, paani puri, tandoor) add NPR 300-800/plate.
Alcohol Service
Many party palaces don't allow alcohol; those that do charge a corkage fee of NPR 200-500/bottle or include a branded liquor package at NPR 1500-3000 per head.
Decor & Mandap
Basic floral decor is often included. Themed mandap, fresh-flower arches, hanging installations, and stage backdrops add NPR 100,000 – 500,000+.
Location within City
Prime neighborhoods (Durbarmarg, Lazimpat, Sanepa, Jhamsikhel) sit at the top of the range. Outlying areas like Budhanilkantha, Bhaisepati, and Bhaktapur offer 20-30% lower per-plate rates for the same quality.
