The South-West Delhi Wedding Corridor
Between Bijwasan's tree-lined estates and Ghitorni's couture lawns runs Delhi's most dynamic celebration belt. Both venues sit within quick reach of IGI Airport via NH-48 and Dwarka Expressway, drawing couples who want destination-style weddings without leaving the capital.
Two names dominate the conversation: Tivoli Bijwasan and Araya Bagh. Each offers luxury; what separates them is how that luxury performs when the baraat actually rolls in.

Architecture & Ambience
Tivoli Bijwasan
Modern geometry wrapped in nature. High ceilings, neutral palettes, and that signature glasshouse ballroom make it adaptable for both pastel daytime and gold-lit evening themes. The five-acre spread offers private zoning — one poolside mehendi can run while another hall hosts cocktails without crossover.
Araya Bagh
Designed by Tahiliani Design Studio, the venue evokes royal Rajasthan with jharokha arches and intricate carved façades. Dual lawns and domed halls frame photo-perfect setups for designer decorators.
Tivoli Bijwasan's five-acre landscaped campus offers multiple celebration zones
Location & Connectivity
Tivoli Bijwasan: sits strategically off Bijwasan Road (opposite Petrol Pump Kapashera), ≈ 13 km from IGI Airport and ≈ 12 km from Domestic. Dwarka Sector 21 Metro and NH-48 keep it accessible for Gurgaon and Central Delhi guests alike.
Araya Bagh: located at Ghitorni Metro Station, right on M.G. Road. Great for South Delhi commute yet subject to weekend traffic snarls and limited turning radius for processions. Araya's Tahiliani-designed heritage architecture makes it a standout choice for outdoor wedding enthusiasts seeking colonial aesthetics and complete decorator freedom.
Editorial note: Tivoli scores on logistics and air connectivity; Araya on metro access and visual appeal.
Capacity & Event Flexibility
Tivoli Bijwasan allows complete function stacking — wedding, sangeet, reception — across three zones without venue change. In-house teams handle F&B, hospitality and AV, so timelines stay tight.
Araya Bagh excels at one-day statement events — lavish decor and cinematic lighting for large floats and fashion-centric crowds. However, outsourced catering and décor vendors mean coordination often rests with the planner.
