Kozhikode and the Bekal coast
Malabar's venues sit in two places on our file. Kozhikode has the city hotels and the halls, sized for the guest lists the north of the state is known for. The Bekal and Kasaragod coast has the resorts, where the number of rooms decides the guest list more than any hall does.
Which are the wedding venues in Kozhikode and Bekal?
Five of the nine Malabar venues on our file are in Kozhikode: Calicut Trade Centre, Sea Rock Regency Kozhikode, The Park Hotel Calicut, The Raviz Calicut and The Raviz Resort & Spa. Four are on the Bekal and Kasaragod coast, all of them resorts: Gateway Bekal, Neeleshwar Hermitage, Taj Bekal Resort & Spa and The LaLiT Resort & Spa Bekal. The largest capacity on file in the region is 8,000 guests, at Calicut Trade Centre.
Planning a wedding in Malabar
- Getting there. Kozhikode (CCJ) for Kozhikode and the central coast; Kannur (CNN) for Kannur, Bekal and Kasaragod.
- The ceremony booking. Muslim families here plan around the mahal and the nikah, often with the main feast on a separate day. Agree both dates before booking the hall. The mylanchi night and the Malabar caterer are covered in the Kerala Muslim wedding guide.
- The cook. Around Kozhikode the biryani caterer is often booked before the venue. Check the hall allows your caterer and has space for the cooking.
- The rain plan. Beach and lawn settings at Bekal need a covered plan in the monsoon months. The rain plan guide has the details.

Looking at Malabar?
Your name and a WhatsApp number are enough to start. Add the month or the guest count if you know them.
What happens after you enquire
- A planner replies on WhatsApp within one working day. Expect questions about the date, the numbers and the community the wedding follows.
- A written scope and a fee band. What we would do for this wedding and what it costs, before you decide anything.
- A video walkthrough if you are abroad. Shortlisted venues walked on camera in your evening, so the single trip to Kerala is spent deciding, not looking.
Planning this venue from abroad
From the Gulf, the UK or North America, see the hall, the rooms and the covered space for a monsoon day on a video call first. Put the rate, the advance dates and the decor approval in writing so the family at home and abroad read the same terms. Keep the one trip to Kerala for the tasting and a last walk through. How planning from abroad works.
