Marriage Garden in Indore — Dastoor since 1997.
When the city says marriage garden, it usually means one address — the patch of soil in Gumashta Nagar where, in 1997, the Khatod family opened what is widely cited as Indore’s first marriage garden. Twenty-eight years later, three named gardens — Garden, Delite, Harmony — sit under the Dastoor brand, holding a 4.3★ average across three thousand-plus Google and Justdial reviews.
An Indore institution, born from the city’s appetite for outdoor weddings.
A marriage gardenin the Indore vernacular is neither a banquet hall nor a hotel lawn — it’s a dedicated event property combining an open lawn (for the mandap, baraat reception, dinner) with a covered banquet shed (for sangeet, monsoon contingency, AC reception). The setting is uniquely Indori, born in the late nineties when families wanted scale and outdoor air but didn’t want a tent under a stadium.
Dastoor was the first. The Khatod family put up the original mandap in 1997 on Scheme No 71, near Footi Kothi in Gumashta Nagar. The 30,000 sq ft covered shed beside an open lawn — the combination that defined every marriage garden in Indore since (Amber, Sajan Prabha, Lakeview, the others) — was first standardised here.
Today there are over five hundred marriage gardens across Indore. The three under Dastoor remain the most-reviewed and longest-running — a fact you can verify on Google Maps or Justdial before signing a single advance.
Garden. Delite. Harmony.
Three named properties under one family. Each tuned to a different scale of evening.
Garden
Indore's first marriage garden — since 1997. Garden is where Dastoor began, in 1997 — the patch of soil at Scheme No 71, near Footi Kothi in Gumashta Nagar, on which the family first put up a mandap and discovered there was an honest business in doing things properly. Today it is widely cited as Indore's first marriage garden of its kind.
Delite
The 50,000 sq ft wedding lawn on Indore Bypass. Delite is the largest property under the Dastoor brand — fifty thousand square feet of open lawn just off MR-10 and the Indore Bypass road, extensive banquet halls, a purpose-built reception stage, and seventy rooms on site for the immediate family and out-of-town guests.
Harmony
Open-to-sky lawn at MR-10. Harmony is the youngest of the three — an open-to-sky lawn at Plot 13, Scheme No 159, near MR-10. It is the right answer for large-scale receptions, sangeet evenings and corporate functions where the guest list is largely local and the host is happy to keep the evening under the stars.
What to ask before signing.
- Covered area in sq ft. Lawn-only properties fail on a rainy day. Confirm covered banquet square footage in writing (Dastoor Garden: 30,000 sq ft covered).
- Maximum guest count, seated and floating. Seated and floating capacities differ by roughly 1.5× — ask for both.
- Catering policy. Some gardens mandate in-house catering; some (Dastoor) leave catering to your caterer of choice. Decide which suits.
- Liquor NOC. Event-specific NOC must be processed by the venue or facilitated by them — verify before assuming.
- Decoration baseline. Confirm what basic décor is included vs charged as upgrade. Get visuals.
- On-site rooms. If hosting out-of-town family, count the rooms (Garden: 33; Delite: 70; Harmony: lawn-only, no rooms).
- Parking + valet. Capacity, valet team size, traffic management plan.
- Payment milestones. Token to block the date, then staged payments. Get them in writing.

Both. 30,000 sq ft covered shed at Garden plus open lawn; 50,000 sq ft open lawn plus banquet halls at Delite. That combination is the reason families pick a marriage garden over a hotel banquet.
Indore marriage gardens range from 200 to 2,000+ guests. Dastoor's three properties span the spectrum: Garden for 600–1,000 seated, Delite for 2,000+ standing, Harmony for 1,000+ seated and 2,000+ standing.
