Photo gallery

See Maher Centre dressed for the day.

These photos show Maher Centre's 1,100m² pillarless hall in Leicester set for mandap ceremonies, wedding receptions, mehndi nights and gala evenings. Every look here was created in the same single-storey hall, which seats up to 1,000 guests for a banquet and holds 1,500 standing.

Each event was styled by the couple's or organiser's chosen decorator, working with the hall's ambient LED lighting. The same space can look crisp and bright, soft and romantic, or dark and dramatic. Photos are best seen in person, of course: tours are by appointment and take about 30 minutes.

Ceremonies & mandaps

What does a mandap look like at Maher Centre?

The pillarless hall gives every guest a clear view of the ceremony. Mandaps sit at one end of the room, with seating or banquet tables across the floor.
