Timeless Weddings in Udaipur

 

Udaipur, Rajasthan’s city of lakes and the top luxury destination for discerning leisure travellers, is an international hotspot for destination weddings too. Scions of billionaire families like the Hindujas, international celebrities and society jet-setters have said ‘I do’ at one of the fairy tale venues in the Venice of the East.

Who wouldn’t want to exchange vows at one of the chic or palaces on the banks of a lake or the picturesque Aravalli range? Little wonder, the most well-traveled couples with the finest tastes in food, decor and entertainment dream of a timeless wedding in the destination where they can live out a royal fantasy.

Whether your guest list is an intimate one with less than 100, or a magnificent, grand affair with over 800, you have the choice from the Taj.

 

Taj Lake Palace

This 270-year-old white marble palace in the middle of Lake Pichola, accessible only by a short boat ride is one of the most private and exclusive wedding venues in the world.

Built in 1743 as a summer palace for the royal dynasty of Mewar, it is an all-season venue for intimate weddings, special celebrations, and honeymoons. Stunning venues inside the 83 rooms & suites property include the Lily Pond, the sprawling Jhankar Courtyard and Mewar Terrace where you can choose to have your pre-wedding shoot, a traditional mehendi or a high-energy sangeet with an intimate guest list.

The piece de resistance is the legendary Grand Presidential Suite, a favorite of just-weds and one of the most expensive suites in the world. Appointed with rich antiques, rare paintings, and crystal chandeliers the royal suite even has a library stocked with a curated selection of literary classics.
