Not every wedding needs five hundred guests. Many couples now want something smaller: close family, best friends, good food, and time to talk to everyone. If that sounds like you, you are looking for an intimate wedding venue near Mumbai that fits a small guest list and feels calm.
Birds Nest Resort in Kinhavali, Shahapur hosts an intimate wedding in Shahapur for 10 to 35 guests. It is about 100 km from Mumbai and about 70 km from Thane, surrounded by trees and birdsong, with cottages where your guests can stay.
An intimate wedding is a small wedding with a short guest list, usually close family and very close friends. With fewer people, you spend more time on what matters: the ceremony, a long meal together, and an unhurried evening. A small wedding venue near Mumbai does not need a huge hall. It needs the right setting, good food and people who care about the details.
We built the cottages at Birds Nest Resort around the trees that were already here. You can read the full story on our about us page. As a small wedding resort near Mumbai, this is what you get:

Located just about 1 hour and 45 minutes from Mumbai, the journey itself felt like a gradual transition from chaos to calm. Although the drive was a bit tiring, it was absolutely worth it once we arrived. The property genuinely lives up to its name — it feels like a peaceful nest tucked away in nature.

What stood out the most was the hospitality. The staff were extremely polite, kind, and attentive throughout our stay. Their warm and respectful service made the experience even more comfortable and welcoming. Despite being so close to nature, the property maintained excellent hygiene standards. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully managed — not a single moment felt unhygienic or uncomfortable. It struck a perfect balance between rustic charm and cleanliness.

The property is surrounded by greenery, and you can literally hear birds all day, it lives up to its name. The cottages are spacious and clean, with nice sit-out areas to just relax. The highlight for me was the peaceful vibe and the pool area. The food was yummy and the staff were polite and helpful throughout. It’s ideal if you’re looking for a calm, nature-focused stay rather than a party place.Posted on Google Richa Thakur Stayed at Birds Nest Resort recently and it turned out to be exactly what a weekend getaway should feel like, calm, slow, and genuinely refreshing. What really stood out to me was how the entire experience is built around time slowing down, not rushing through activities, but actually enjoying moments. 🌲 The Machan – The Best Spot on the Property The machan is easily the highlight of the resort. It’s a simple elevated sit-out, but the experience it offers is something else. Sitting there early morning with chai, surrounded by greenery and complete silence, feels like you’ve paused life for a bit. Evenings here hit differently too, with soft light, breeze, and that peaceful vibe you don’t get in the city. It’s not just a structure, it becomes your go-to space to just exist and unwind. 🍽️ Ghosla Restaurant – Comfort Over Fancy The in-house Ghosla Restaurant keeps things simple and that works in its favour. The food is fresh, comforting, and suits the overall vibe of the resort. Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, or dinner, it feels like homely meals rather than heavy hotel food. It’s not positioned as fine dining, but honestly, that’s not what you come here for. You come here for good food that complements a peaceful stay, and it delivers that well. 🕒 The “Time” Experience – What Makes It Special What makes Birds Nest different is how it changes your sense of time. Mornings start slow, with birds and fresh air. Afternoons are easy, maybe a swim or just doing nothing. Evenings are for walks, conversations, or just sitting quietly. You don’t feel the need to check your phone or rush anywhere. That’s the real luxury here, having time to yourself without distractions. 🏡 Overall Stay The cottages are cozy, private, and surrounded by greenery, giving you that perfect mix of comfort and nature. The staff is warm and helpful, and the property is well maintained. It’s ideal for couples, small groups, or anyone looking to disconnect from city chaos. ⭐ Final Thoughts If you’re expecting a high-energy resort, this isn’t it. But if you’re looking for peace, slow living, and meaningful downtime, this place delivers beautifully. Would definitely visit again, especially for the machan moments and the calm it offers.Posted on Google Rimsha Really enjoyed our stay here.
