Mandap Options
in the Grand Courtyard
Custom-Built Mandap Structure:
At Brownstone Gardens, we collaborate closely with our in-house décor team through R&R Event Rentals to create a custom mandap structure tailored to your vision. Your mandap can be placed anywhere on the property, whether in the Grand Courtyard or another location that suits your ceremony.
In the Grand Courtyard, the mandap is typically positioned adjacent to the existing temple arbor, which provides a stunning backdrop for guest entrances, a Ganesh welcome ceremony, and other cultural traditions. The custom mandap is built on a 12'x12' elevated stage platform, ensuring it becomes the focal point of your ceremony.
Existing Temple Arbor Mandap:
For couples seeking a more intimate setting, our existing temple arbor offers a charming 8'x8' mandap space. This serene and elegant environment can also be decorated by our in-house décor team to complement your celebration.
Whether you choose a custom-built mandap or the existing temple arbor, Brownstone Gardens provides a flexible and culturally authentic setting for unforgettable Bay Area South Asian weddings. You are always welcome to bring your own vendor team to create a truly unique ceremony experience.
