Why South Asian Couples Look Here

For a very large guest list, the Marquis publishes rooms that few venues in the region can match. The detail that stands out for South Asian couples is the baraat, which the hotel names in its Atrium Ballroom. An indoor baraat takes the weather out of the plan, and in a Georgia July that is no small thing.

Downtown also means guests can stay in the hotel and walk to every event, and those flying into Hartsfield Jackson have a short ride in.

Questions To Ask On The Tour

  • Can the baraat include a horse indoors, or a car at the entrance?
  • Which rooms allow a havan, and what does the fire marshal need?
  • Can we bring an outside Indian caterer, or does the hotel cook Indian menus?
  • How late can the music run in each ballroom?
  • Can the sangeet and the reception be in different rooms on the same weekend?

How I Would Plan Coverage

Before the day I walk the venue with its coordinator, find where the baraat ends, where the mandap faces and where the window light falls in the getting ready rooms. For a multi day wedding I map every event to a room and a time, so photo and film are in place before the music starts.

Building The Weekend At Atlanta Marriott Marquis

Before you sign, write the whole weekend on one page and ask the venue to put a room and a time beside each event. A South Asian wedding at Atlanta Marriott Marquis might hold a mehndi and sangeet on the first night, the baraat, ceremony and reception on the second day, and a farewell brunch on the third. Each one needs a room, a setup crew and a turnover, and the turnover between the ceremony and the reception is where most timelines break.

Ask how long the venue needs to turn the mandap room into a dinner room, whether the decorator can load in the night before, and where the families can rest between events. If elders are staying on site, ask for rooms close to the event spaces. If guests are flying into Hartsfield Jackson, ask whether the venue can help arrange shuttles.

EventWhat To Ask For
HaldiAn outdoor or covered space where turmeric will not stain
MehndiGood light for the henna artist and low seating
SangeetA stage, sound and a late end time
BaraatAn approved route and a place for the horse or car
CeremonyWhere the mandap faces, and the rule on the havan
ReceptionDance floor size, end time and catering rules
