IF YOU ARE DREAMING OF A WEDDING CELEBRATION FIT FOR ROYALTY, LOOK NO FURTHER THAN THESE PALACES AND FORTS ACROSS RAJASTHAN
-
Rajasthan’s timeless charm and regal grandeur make it the perfect destination for a fairytale wedding. The state’s magnificent forts and palaces, steeped in history, offer a breathtaking blend of heritage and luxury. If you've ever dreamt of a wedding straight out of a royal saga, Rajasthan is where it comes to life.
CITY PALACE
→ JAIPUR
The City Palace in Jaipur, built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II in 1727, beautifully blends Mughal and Rajput architecture. It’s not only a royal residence but also a hub for arts, learning, and worship. The palace features several stunning areas ideal for weddings, such as the grand Diwan-e-Aam, which hosted royal audiences and now serves as a magnificent wedding venue. The Sarvato Bhadra Chowk, once the Hall of Private Audience, offers a spacious setting for larger receptions. For more intimate celebrations, the Chandra Mahal Courtyard provides a serene atmosphere. Some other attractions include the Mubarak Mahal, Shri Govind Dev Temple, and the City Palace Museum. The Mubarak Mahal courtyard, developed in 1900, was originally built for foreign guests and now houses the museum offices, a library, and the Textile Gallery. The Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II Museum in the palace showcases royal costumes, weaponry, and artwork that your wedding guests can explore.
PRATAP MAHAL
→ AJMER
Pratap Mahal in Ajmer is an ideal venue for your most cherished celebrations, offering a range of beautiful spaces for ceremonies, including mehendi, ladies’ sangeet, gala dinners, and more. Capture your special moments in the resort’s courtyards, on charming jhoolas, or from the private balconies that accompany every room. The Mughal Lawn is perfect for hosting around 250 guests; the Darbar Hall is a banquet space that can accommodate 500; the open-air poolside space overlooks the hills and can accommodate 650 guests.
