Wedding rentals in Hyderabad: what each function needs and what it costs

Wedding rentals in Hyderabad are booked per function, not per wedding: the haldi and mehendi need low seating and a pagoda, the muhurtham needs a mandap or stage and theatre seating, the reception needs the largest stage, a sofa, round tables with Chiavari chairs, a line array and lighting. A 20×16 ft stage runs ₹8,000–₹25,000 + GST and a 300-guest reception's rentals ₹90,000–₹2,30,000 + GST in a hall, indicative, as of October 2026. Book 3–4 weeks ahead for a Saturday between November and February.

Quick answer

What does each wedding function need?

Hyderabad weddings run across two to four days and the rentals change each day.

Haldi and mehendi. Usually at home, on a terrace or in a small hall for 50–150 guests. Low seating or floor cushions for the ceremony, banquet chairs for the elders, a 6×4 ft or 10×8 ft backdrop frame with marigold or floral décor, two powered speakers with a wireless mic, a 5×5 m pagoda or two on a terrace, fans in summer, and a buffet counter set. The haldi stains linen: ask for yellow or no linen.

Muhurtham. In a function hall, a kalyana mandapam or a lawn for 300–1,000 guests. The decorator builds the mandap on a 20×16 ft or 24×16 ft stage at 2–3 ft; the hall's own stage is often too high or too small. Theatre seating for the full count in banquet chairs with covers, a wired mic on a stand for the priest and two wireless mics, a warm white wash on the mandap, a sound set sized for the hall, and a video wall or two LED screens in a long hall so the back rows can see. Morning muhurthams load in the night before.

Reception. The largest set-up of the wedding, 300–1,500 guests. A 24×16 ft or 32×16 ft stage at 3–4 ft with a floral or printed backdrop, or a 12×8 ft or 16×10 ft LED wall behind the couple, a couple sofa, side sofas for the families, steps with handrails, round tables with Chiavari chairs for the dinner, a line array sized for the count with a DJ, 8–12 moving heads and a stage wash, uplights on the hall pillars, fairy-light curtains and a photo booth. Outdoors, add a 30×60 ft or larger German hangar with flooring and side walls, a generator and fans.

Sangeet. A reception-sized sound and light rig, a dance floor, a smaller stage and lounge seating rather than rows. The DJ matters more than the chairs.

Three worked totals, rentals only, indicative, as of October 2026:

What moves a quote inside its range: the number of days the stock is on site, the hall's load-in rules, distance from the vendor's yard, whether an operator and collection are included, and the date. The same reception list costs more on a muhurtham Saturday in December than on a Thursday in August. Stage and wall sizes by hall are in LED wall and stage rental in Hyderabad; mics, line arrays and the lighting desk in sound and lighting rental in Hyderabad; chairs, tables and sofas in event furniture rental in Hyderabad; hangars and pagodas in tent house in Hyderabad.

When is wedding season, and what gets scarce?

The muhurtham calendar sets the season: November to February, with a second run in May and June, and gaps in the inauspicious weeks. On a popular Saturday the city runs out of three things in this order: German hangars, good line arrays with a DJ, and 32×16 ft stages with trusses. Chairs and tables never run out. Book the scarce item 3–4 weeks ahead and fill in around it. The monsoon, June to September, moves outdoor functions under a hangar and adds drainage and a rain plan; summer, March to June, adds mist fans and coolers to every outdoor list.

Where are the vendors, and does it matter?

Wedding tent houses and decorators cluster in Kukatpally, Secunderabad, the older city, Dilsukhnagar and LB Nagar; sound, LED and stage companies with trucks sit along the Outer Ring Road and towards Shamshabad; the convention lawns and farmhouses are towards Shamshabad and Moinabad; the function halls are everywhere. Shortlist vendors within about 15 km of the hall: transport is a line on the quote, and a crew crossing the city on a wedding Saturday arrives after the first guests. Who the vendor types are and how to shortlist them is in event vendors in Hyderabad.

In what order should the family book?

  1. Fix the hall or lawn and the function dates, including set-up and collection days.
  2. Book the decorator, who sets the stage size and the mandap design.
  3. Book the scarce rental: the hangar outdoors, otherwise the stage and the sound rig with the DJ.
  4. Book lighting and the LED wall or screens.
  5. Book seating, tables, linen, sofas and the buffet counters last; they are plentiful.
  6. Get every quote with transport, set-up, operator, collection, days on site and GST as lines, and agree who counts the chairs at hand-over.

How does a marketplace change this?

The usual way is five vendors found through the decorator and a cousin, five quotes on WhatsApp written five different ways, 50% advances in cash and a balance chased after the wedding. Evnting is an event rental and services marketplace in Hyderabad run by Avens Event Technologies. In the catalogue the stage, sound, LED, seating, tents and crew are listed by Hyderabad vendors with the all-inclusive price, what it includes and the dates they are free. The family builds one order per function, pays online into escrow, the vendors confirm on WhatsApp, one delivery arrives per function, and the money is released after delivery, with a GST invoice on every order.

When is wedding season in Hyderabad and how early should I book?

November to February on the muhurtham calendar, with a second run in May and June. Popular Saturdays are booked 3–4 weeks out for stages, hangars and good sound rigs. Off-season, 2–5 days is enough for chairs, tables, a standard stage and sound; a week for a hangar.

Which wedding rental should I book first?

The scarce one: the hangar if the function is outdoors, otherwise the stage and the sound rig. Chairs, tables and linen are plentiful and can be booked last.

Do wedding rentals in Hyderabad include set-up?

Usually within a stated radius, but not always. A listing or quote should say whether transport, set-up, an operator, collection and the number of days on site are included. A wedding is often three days of rental for one day of use.

Is GST charged on wedding rentals?

Yes, at 18% on event rentals and production services from registered vendors, with a tax invoice. Many small tent houses quote cash without it; compare on the same basis.

Can I book all the wedding rentals in one place?

Yes. On Evnting, an event rental and services marketplace in Hyderabad, the stage, sound, LED, seating, tents and crew are listed by Hyderabad vendors with the all-inclusive price and date-based availability, so the family books one order, pays into escrow and gets one delivery per function.
