Hi,
I was in the same situation so started researching some of the well-known hotels in Lahore for my Nikkah. I found that most ppl prefer the Pearl Cont. and the Royal Palm. They are the most well known. The hall depends on the date of your event (subject to availability) and also the number of ppl attending. I have about 140 ppl attending (I settled on Royal Palm) so they recommended the Fairways or the Dome (Dome was an extra Rs. 50,000 if you didn’t meet the 200 ppl mark).
The rates I have stated below are from a few weeks ago so they might differ in price when you call, also, the price doesn’t include tax.
There is a new rule in Pakistan regarding the time the halls have to close down. At the moment, all events have to end at 10 pm sharp! They give you 15 mins to exit the building and close all but one light (towards the exit). I was pretty shocked to hear this but I guess its the law at the moment. (RUMOR)
As far as food goes, I hear mix reviews about the food at all hotels. They serve one dish but give you all you can eat salad (from what I have heard) and you have to order desert.
The contact info is available on the websites stated below or online (Google everything:))
Decoration is another story. Some of the prices are available at the bottom. Most hotels have a decorator but charge a lot more for convenience. I am looking into a few event managers at the moment and they seem kinda steep with their prices. Ranging anywhere from Rs. 70,000 to the max I have heard so far (for the Dome) is Rs. 350,000.
My cousin mentioned that if you are to go to a florist with a design of a stage/hall/tables, they can recreate everything for you. They just need to order flowers beforehand and send a decorator to your location on the day of your event. I have heard that stages start anywhere from Rs. 25,000 and onward.
I hope all this helps…If you have any other questions…def ask:)
Cheers!!
