The reception will take place on Thursday evening at Le Meridian hotel in Kochi, according to reports.
Bhuvaneshwari is from a royal Jaipur family and is a jewellery designer by profession. The bride and her family arrived in Kerala on 8 December for marriage-related functions.
The pre-wedding ceremonies including Sangeet and Mehendi were held in a private hotel in Kochi.
Bhuvaneshwari and Sreesanth met each other six years ago during a cricket match in Jaipur have been in a relationship since then.
Sreesanth had announced his plans to marry Bhuvaneshwari earlier this year, before the match-fixing scandal emerged.
