As wedding planners, every new venue we explore is more than just a location — it is a canvas where the most beautiful dreams of couples come to life. It was during one such search that we visited Kalappura The Farm House, Ottapalam, located in Ottapalam, Palakkad district. From the very first sight, the place filled our hearts with warmth, nostalgia, and natural beauty. Here, we are sharing the memories of that journey along with the beautiful Haldi and wedding celebration we recently orchestrated there.
One of the greatest highlights of Kalappura Farm House is its location — away from the rush of the city and concrete chaos, yet easily accessible for guests and event teams alike. This heritage farmhouse is situated at Manissery near Ottapalam in Palakkad.
The moment you step into Kalappura, you are welcomed by cool breezes and lush greenery. Built while preserving the essence of an old granary belonging to the Vadakkoot family, this farmhouse is an ideal choice for anyone dreaming of a Heritage Wedding Venue in Kerala.
The traditionally designed “Tharavadu” and “Thekkini” cottages reflect the royal elegance of old Kerala architecture. Wooden pillars, antique collections, and expansive green lawns create the perfect backdrop for unforgettable Pre-wedding and Post-wedding photoshoots.
Recently, Melodia Event Management transformed Kalappura Farm House into a vibrant celebration arena. We orchestrated a beautifully blended Vibrant Haldi Ceremony along with a simple yet elegant Destination Farmhouse Wedding, combining traditional charm with modern vibes.
