By Akash Sharma Kochi’s event venue landscape operates across two distinct geographic zones — the Ernakulam-Kaloor central belt that serves the city’s institutional and commercial functions, and the expanding suburban corridors of Nedumbassery, Vyttila, and Kalamassery that have grown in step with airport traffic, IT expansion, and residential migration. Star Convention Centre operates in both these zones simultaneously, with two distinct venues — Star Choyz Convention Centre in Vyttila and Star Convention Center in Nedumbassery — each positioned for the community it serves.
Star Choyz Convention Centre is located at Gold Souk Grandé Mall, Salem-Kochi Highway, Ponnurunni, Vyttila, Ernakulam — Kerala 682019. The Vyttila address is one of Kochi’s most commercially strategic — the Gold Souk Grandé Mall sits at the junction of the Salem-Kochi Highway and the Vyttila Mobility Hub approach, placing it at the intersection of shopping, transit, and residential activity in Kochi’s rapidly developing southern urban zone. The venue is described as a grand and elegant facility with multiple opulent banquet halls, positioned as a multi-purpose venue suitable for both intimate ceremonies and large celebrations including destination weddings.
The Star Convention Center at Nedumbassery offers two distinct event areas with parking for 150 cars and 100 bikes. The venue accepts both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food and permits outside catering subject to venue approval. Air conditioning, generator backup, and changing rooms are standard. The Nedumbassery address — in the airport zone of Ernakulam district — gives this venue its own specific advantage: proximity to Cochin International Airport for outstation guests and families planning events that coincide with cross-country travel.
