Karjat · 180-acre farm estate
Wedding at Oleander Farms, Karjat
Location: Karjat–Chowk Road, Wavarle village, Khalapur · about two hours from Pune and Mumbai
Oleander Farms is less a resort than a private valley: around 180 acres of lawns, lakes and low hills with more than a hundred rooms tucked in. It is the Karjat venue for couples who want each function in a completely different setting — a lakeside haldi, a hilltop sangeet, pheras in a garden that can seat over a thousand — without anyone leaving the property.
- Five wedding spaces on one estate
- Main garden for up to about 1,500
- 110–135 rooms, by source

Five settings, one estate.
This is what makes Oleander different from the riverside resorts: every function can have its own landscape, and the distances are big enough that set-ups never clash.
| Space | Setting | Capacity | How we would use it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oleander Garden | Main outdoor garden | About 200–1,500 | Pheras or the reception |
| Hill Top | Raised lawn with views | About 150–450 | Sangeet at sunset |
| Lakeside Lawn | Lawn by the water | About 100–300 | An intimate ceremony or the haldi |
| Poolside | Pool deck | About 50–250 | Mehendi, welcome lunch |
| Oleander Banquet | Indoor hall | About 50–180 | Family dinner, a getting-ready base |
Capacities from VenueLook’s listings for the resort; rooms from WeddingSutra (120+), Weddingz (110) and WedMeGood (135). Confirm current figures with Oleander.
The estate includes in-house catering, an events coordinator and transport within the property, which matters on a site this size. Ask how guests and the bridal party will move between the rooms and the venues after dark.

Our approach
Planning the bride’s day across 180 acres.
A big estate needs a plan for movement as much as for makeup.
- One base for the bridal teamWe ask for a room central to the venues you have chosen, with daylight and space for two chairs. Every look starts there.
- Transport to the setThe bride shouldn’t walk a farm track in a lehenga. We agree the buggy or car timing with the resort so touch-ups happen at the venue, not in transit.
- Lakeside humidity, hilltop windThe lake keeps the air damp; the hilltop catches the breeze. We set the base for the first and pin the hair for the second.
- Different looks for different landscapesFresh and light for the lakeside haldi, richer for a sunset sangeet on the hill, full bridal for the garden. Planning them together keeps the weekend consistent.
