The venue serves as a destination oasis in close proximity to Mumbai, nestled within the confines of a national park that captivates with its breathtaking beauty. Each corner of the location is a picturesque marvel, offering ample opportunities for stunning photographs. Diverse areas within the venue are thoughtfully designed for various ceremonies, each exuding its unique charm. The lush surroundings of abundant trees and water lend an irresistibly natural allure to the entire setting. The culinary experience at the venue is a delightful symphony of flavors, thoroughly enjoyed by all our guests. In summary, I wholeheartedly recommend both the location and the impeccable service provided by Milind. His meticulous attention ensures that every aspect unfolds as envisioned, complemented by the artistic touch of decorator Mr. Chetan and the diligent on-site staff. Special commendation goes to Uthkarsha and others, who went above and beyond to ensure that we and our family savored every moment amidst the wedding ceremonies. A few noteworthy details to consider: As the venue is situated within a national park, toll charges apply. Accommodations in the form of bungalows are available, although not all are within walking distance; nevertheless, they are reasonably priced. Additionally, the venue offers the expertise of an in-house decorator who plays a pivotal role in enhancing the overall experience.

A Tropical Paradise for Unforgettable Celebrations! I recently had the pleasure of hosting a two-day Wedding event at Exotica - The Tropical Retreat, and I am beyond ecstatic to share the overwhelmingly positive experience my family and I had at this beautiful wedding venue. First and foremost, let's talk about the pure beauty of Exotica. From the moment we stepped onto the grounds, we were enveloped in a tropical paradise that set the perfect stage for our haldi, sangeet, wedding, and reception. The lush greenery, vibrant decor, and well-manicured lawns created a mesmerizing backdrop that left our guests in awe. The venue truly lived up to its name, providing an exotic ambience for us to experience. One of the standout aspects of our experience was the exceptional management provided by Mr. Milind. His dedication to ensuring our celebration was flawless was evident from the start. Mr. Milind was not only professional but also incredibly helpful and accommodating to all our needs. His attention to detail and proactive approach made the planning process smooth and stress-free. He went above and beyond to make our vision a reality, and for that, we are sincerely grateful. The decorator Mr. Chetan provided us with a myriad of styles to choose from, tailoring the venue to match our unique vision perfectly. We opted for a small floating mandap, a choice that added a charming and intimate ambiance to our wedding proceedings. The decorator's expertise and flexibility truly elevated our chosen theme, turning the venue into a personalized and enchanting space. A particularly noteworthy instance was when our function experienced a delayed start, pushing past the scheduled 11:00 p.m. conclusion. Despite this unexpected hiccup, Mr. Milind and the management at Exotica were incredibly understanding and accommodating. Their flexibility and willingness to extend the event ensured that our celebration continued seamlessly, demonstrating a level of customer service that went above and beyond our expectations. The attentive staff at Exotica played a crucial role in making our celebration a seamless experience. Whether it was the courteous waitstaff during the reception or the prompt assistance from the on-site team, their readiness to cater to our every need was truly commendable. We never felt alone in our journey, as the staff was readily available whenever we needed something. Their commitment to providing top-notch service added an extra layer of warmth and hospitality to our celebration. To add to the convenience, Exotica also provides overnight accommodation for approximately 35 people in their adjacent Royal Exotica villa. This allowed our close-knit group to continue the celebration into the night without worrying about travel arrangements, adding an extra layer of comfort and joy to our special day. In conclusion, the beauty of the surroundings, the impeccable management led by Mr. Milind, the astonishingly beautiful decoration provided by Mr. Chetan, and the attentive staff make Exotica an unrivaled choice for anyone seeking a truly unforgettable wedding experience. Our celebration was a dream come true, and we wholeheartedly recommend Exotica to anyone looking to turn their special day into a tropical retreat. Thank you so much for this beautiful, fairytale, dream come true Wedding

It's a great venue, we invited 340 PPL to wedding and almost everyone came to us and admired about wedding. Heres how I will rate it 1) venue ambience 6/5 2) staff support 5/5 3) food 4.5/5 Other suggestions... I will suggest to hire good photographer and give photographer enough time for photo secession. Venue is so beautiful it you will have nice pics plus there are multiple elements where u can click photos. Ask photographer to do reki of the area one day prior. Choose your decorator wisely. Take everything in writing from him, and check that he has done his job properly. (There is bridge in the venue, make sure u put nice carpet there or old PPL will trip while crossing it) Don't shy out on food tasting, staff is very supportive, they served at least 40~50 items during testing. They also suggest what goes with what and modifications. And their suggestions are helpful. If you are trying for this venue at least prebook it 6 months prior, venue is normally booked for all major days so u might miss on your days.

our journey to find the perfect tropical paradise in Mumbai for our wedding was an adventure. One random day, my fiancé (now husband 😜) stumbled upon this gem, and we knew ‘This is it, the hunt is over!' The venue was breathtaking. Huge thanks to Exotica for providing this stunning setting and a special shout-out to Milind . Big thanks to our decorator Chetan for enhancing its beauty.

We had a Wedding+Reception function conducted on May 29, 2023 at Exotica resorts. right from Decor to arrangements for food, entry at Yeoor, arrangements for stay of family members and their convenience, Exotica gave us a 5 star hassle free experience. I would like to specially mention Milind Sir, Utkarsha, Chetan (decorator) for being so adjusting and sincere in their efforts. The venue was really well appreciated and loved by every guest who came here. Everyone clicked their individual photos looking at the ambience and the environment that was created on the said day. I couldn't imagine getting married at a better location. Thank you Exotica.

Had a bad experience with the manager or the sales person. A customer should feel a sense of trust and understanding but the sales manager is so arrogant , he shows the place is in high demand so no adjustment , his attitude is like ..my place is always booked so i dont give a fuck to your requirement because i can find a substitute. The place is great but just because of the attitude of the person handling it we are not booking cuz we cannot trust if he is interested in my event or he can deliver the expectations. Really disappointed.

Management and Food : Mr. Milind Khot is very humble and down to earth person. He along with the staff at Exotica made sure all our needs were taken care of. Kudos to the staff for excellent management. The cherry on the top was their incredible food. Our family and friends still keep lauding over the amazing meals :) Steam Modak was the star of our menu.

Exotica is a wonderful place to host your wedding. Since the time we booked the venue for my wedding And receptionMr. Milind helped us with everything. It felt like a family member was helping us navigate through the process. Its a perfect place if you are looking for a cute and natural vibe. We sent Chetan some prictures from the internet on some wedding decoration inspirations and hoped that even if he is able to get 60% of it, we would be more than happy. When I reached the venue on the day of the wedding I was totally awestruck with how beautiful the decoration looked. It was EXACTLY how we asked Chetan to do it. I have no words to express how impressed I was with his skills. He delivered everything he promised! The staff during the wedding went above and beyond to help us, and took special care of the bride and groom. They made sure we drank plenty of water and got all the snacks sent to us in our rooms and on the stage. Special shoutout for utkarsha mam. They all made sure that the wedding was super duper hit! I would definitely recommend this location to looking for a destination wedding feel.

Would I recommend Exotica as a wedding venue? - A Big Strong YES! Location: Needless to say, this is the best thing about the venue. Situated right in the city but still gives the vibes of a destination wedding. The place is properly maintained and it does give an "Exotic" look. Ambiance: This is the perfect place if someone wants to host a function in a cozy and natural setup. The greenery is properly maintained and the water body adds to its beauty. Food: The quality of the food is wonderful. Every single of our guests appreciated the food quality. Even the typical Maharashtrian menu was beautifully prepared. Service: Mr. Milind Khot helped us and resolved every single query of ours. The staff during the event as well was prompt and really helpful. Exotica is definitely one of the best locations for hosting weddings.

We have been regular's to Exotica for the last 10 years. The food and ambience of the place is awesome. We have also attended a few weddings and the pondside ambience is exclusive to this place, with natural surroundings amidst the cleanest air in Mumbai. Due to a lot of open spaces, themed weddings are possible and the wooden structures only add to the natural feel of the Yeoor forest, where it is located. As a Photographer, I have also done a few photoshoots at this location. ( https://photographer-mumbai.in/wedding-photographers.html ) Would definitely recommend this place for couples requiring a themed or destination wedding feel without travelling outside Mumbai
