Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 17: In the vibrant, ever-moving city of Mumbai, where luxury hospitality is constantly evolving, Sahara Star stands as a landmark that has redefined how the city celebrates--be it high-powered corporate gatherings or once-in-a-lifetime weddings.
Strategically located just minutes from the airport, Sahara Star offers a rare proposition--a fully integrated destination where every event, every guest, and every experience comes together seamlessly under one roof.
A Banquet Portfolio That Defines Scale and Versatility
At the heart of Sahara Star's offering lies a carefully curated portfolio of banquet spaces, each designed to host a different scale and style of celebration.
Sapphire Ballroom - The Epitome of Grandeur
In a significant milestone for Sahara Star, the hotel recently unveiled the New Transformed Sapphire Ballroom--which is amongst one of the largest pillarless banquet halls in Mumbai--marking a bold step forward in redefining how the city hosts large-scale events, weddings, and corporate gatherings.
The launch event brought together leading event management companies (EMCs) and wedding planners, opening up new possibilities for collaborations and large-format business opportunities in the MICE and social celebrations space.
The crown jewel of the hotel's event spaces, the Sapphire Ballroom,spanning an expansive 55,000 sq. ft., is designed to host up to 2,500 guests, making it a landmark venue for:
Large-scale weddings and receptions
High-profile conferences and exhibitions
Grand social celebrations
Its expansive, unobstructed layout allows for spectacular decor transformations and immersive experiences, making it a preferred choice for those who envision weddings at a truly iconic scale. Weddings at this level of grandeur typically commence from approximately ₹50 lakh onwards, depending on customisation, decor, and culinary selections.
Jade & Ruby - The Perfect Balance of Scale and Intimacy
Complementing the Sapphire Ballroom are the elegant Jade and Ruby banquet halls--two iconic spaces that cater to mid-to-large gatherings.
With capacities of 700 to 800 guests, these venues are ideal for:
Sangeet and engagement ceremonies
Wedding functions with curated guest lists
Corporate conferences and social events
They offer the flexibility to host celebrations that are grand yet personal, with weddings in these spaces starting from approximately ₹28 lakh onwards, allowing clients to design experiences aligned with both vision and budget.
