WH Ferrnhills Royale Palace OOTY

The Ferrnhills Royale Palace, the erstwhile holiday residence of the Maharaja of Mysore, is ideal for a romantic wedding during the summer. It is sprawled amidst 50 acres of a lush green valley, surrounded by tea gardens and the picturesque Nilgiri hills in Ooty, Tamil Nadu. The landscaped front lawns will be fitting for any day-time pre-wedding rituals, while the two storey-high royal ballroom hall fits the bill for a grand reception with over 300 guests. While the antique wooden interiors exude an undeniable old-world charm, the surrounding plantations also provide the perfect setting for a one-of-a-kind backdrop for your wedding photographs.

For The Reception

Host a grand function and dinner party at the maginificent ballroom. Its two-story curved ceiling, deep-red drapes, and gilded accents will set the note for a truly decadent night.

The Accommodation

Each of the 19 palace suites has its own large sitting room, bedroom, dressing room, sit-out, bathroom, and fireplace.

The Setting

The palace works best for rustic-style functions, with antique furniture and décor blending into the natural elements of the outdoors. To give your functions a regional touch, decorate the setups with large-scale local metal Dhokra artworks, or entertain the guests with a folk Mayurbhanj Chhau performance.
