Planning an event? Whether it's a wedding, engagement, birthday, or corporate gathering, one of the first decisions you’ll need to make is this: Do you go with a banquet hall or an open-air lawn?

Both options have their own charm, but what's important is to choose the one that caters to your needs, depending on the nature of your event, guest list and most importantly the season. With summer in full swing currently and quite hot at that, it is the perfect time to weigh in the pros and cons of whether choosing a banquet or a lawns for your event.

Now why should you choose a Lawn venue? The answer really is four fold.

1. Option of getting open space and airy vibes
No matter the time of the day the lawn is sure to offer you a refreshing and breezy atmosphere. One where you will be able to enjoy the summery vibes and also celebrate amidst nature. Here you don't have to worry about stuffy interiors or even no pressure to worry about the air conditioning to beat the summer heat.
2. Ideal for Large Gatherings
Lawns in Pune, especially spacious ones like Nishigandha Lawns in Hinjewadi, are perfect if you’re expecting a bigger guest list. There’s more room to move, mingle, and even add entertainment zones like photo booths, food counters, or live music.
3. Natural Decor Advantage
Who doesn’t love a sunset backdrop or twinkling fairy lights under a clear sky? Lawns give you a head-start in décor. You’re already working with nature — you just need to enhance it.
4. Better for Themed or Casual Events
Planning a summer mehendi or a breezy baby shower? Lawns lend themselves beautifully to relaxed, colourful themes that might feel out of place in a banquet.

Why Consider a Banquet Hall?
1. Weather-Proof
If your event is during the daytime or if you’re worried about unexpected summer showers, banquet halls offer guaranteed comfort. You won’t have to worry about heat, wind, or rain affecting your arrangements.
2. All-in-One Facilities
Most banquet halls come with in-built lighting, AV systems, and stage setups. This means less work coordinating multiple vendors.
3. Temperature Controlled Environment
Let’s face it — Pune summers can get intense during the day. A fully air-conditioned hall is a relief for formal functions or corporate events that need a clean, comfortable setup.
4. Formal Look and Feel
If your event calls for a more professional or upscale ambience, a banquet is likely to suit your tone better—especially for conferences or award functions.

Summer-Specific Tips While Choosing
Opt for an evening lawn event if you want the best of both worlds — open air and pleasant weather.
Hydration is key: Whether you go indoor or outdoor, always plan a beverage counter with coolers, mocktails, or infused water.
Dress codes: For lawn events, light fabrics and pastels work well. For banquets, you can go a bit more formal.
Décor matters: Make use of summer-friendly themes like floral setups, fresh greens, or pops of citrus colours.
So, Which One Should You Choose? There’s no one-size-fits-all answer — it really depends on your event type, guest preferences, and the overall experience you want to offer.
But if you’re hosting a summer celebration and want something open, flexible, and stunning — a lawn might just be the perfect pick.
