Guys,

We need some advice here. We are planning to celebrate our son's first birthday party in Hyderabad in March. We have talked to hotels like ITC Kakatiya, Katriya and Viceroy, but their prices are ridiculous(Rs. 1100 to 1400 + 31% tax). So for about 300 to 350 people, we are looking at around 5 lakhs just for the food, which is not something we are willing to spend. Ofcourse all other arrangements will cost extra in addition to the above price. So we have ruled out the hotels. But at the same time we dont want to take the same old route of function halls and stuff.

We want this party to be one where both the kids and the adults can have equal fun while maintaining an upscale ambience and feel. So I need the input and recommendations from people who have had parties in Hyderabad in the recent time. What's the trend like these days? Is theme based parties an in thing now? Can you guys recommend any event managers who can take care all the arrangements, including catering?

We want to host this party in an outdoor atmosphere. Somebody mentioned Durgam Cheruvu party zone as a good place for this. Does anyone have any experience with this place? I googled it and see that most of the movie fuctions like audio releases etc are held here. Other than that I have no information about this place.

Any ideas, recommenations, advice is higly appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks. 2 lakhs is the budget.

Chicago,

I guess my budget is not good enough for your event planner....:)

dont lose heart. i will be speaking with them over the weekend.

Couple of years ago we celebrated our kid Bday part in YOGI BEAR (I am not sure the comple name) . They have little park for kid where they can play they provide coupos/tokens for that. it costed me about Rs. 100 per perosn. Food was good, every one liked it. I also heard couple of more spots around that area.

Have u tried any resorts?? I heard they will rent out these resorts.
On HYD-Vij highway there is one mount opera which is not bad. and also on gandipet road, medchal road and more on karimnagar highway.

The convention center between the round L&T cyber towers & Shilparaman in Hitech city has a medium sized hall available for parties, my friend had his daughters 1st b'day party there, they cater food too, which is pretty good by the way, but expect to shell out in lakhs for the whole deal.

Also, if you have a friend who is a member of Secunderabad club, ask them to book the sec'bad club garden newly created which is an excellent choice for kids bday parties and the price r ultra reasonable, same goes with the boat club, a member of secbad club can get u to host a party on the boat club overlooking the lake which is an excellent view, tonnes better than the already good view u get from water front restaurant.
good luck

Thanks to everyone who had responded. We celebrated the birthday party in Jalavihar(on Necklace road). Its a lovely place for this kind of parties. The entire event was managed by an event organizer, and she did a fantastic job. Thank you all again.

Can you let us know the cost per person? If you don't mind.
