Why Udaipur Steals Every Heart

Nestled among the Aravalli Hills and shimmering lakes, Udaipur has long been called the Venice of the East. For couples dreaming of a royal, cinematic wedding, there is simply no place like it in India.

At 7 Diamond Events, we've had the privilege of curating some of our most breathtaking celebrations in this magnificent city. Here's our insider guide to planning a destination wedding in Udaipur.


Choosing the Right Venue

Udaipur offers a range of venues that feel almost too beautiful to be real:

  • Lake Palace, Taj — a white marble palace floating on Lake Pichola
  • Leela Palace Udaipur — hillside grandeur with panoramic lake views
  • Fateh Prakash Palace — intimate heritage rooms and majestic courtyards
  • Devi Garh by lebua — a restored 18th-century fort turned design hotel

Our advice: book your venue at least 12–18 months in advance, especially for the November–February peak season.


Planning the Timeline

A destination wedding typically spans 3–4 days:

Day Event
Day 1 Guest arrivals, welcome dinner by the lake
Day 2 Mehendi & Sangeet ceremony
Day 3 Haldi, Baraat, Wedding ceremony
Day 4 Post-wedding brunch, guest departures

Logistics You Can't Ignore

Guest Travel & Accommodation

Block hotel rooms 10–12 months ahead. Udaipur's finest properties fill up fast during wedding season. Coordinate flights and ground transfers — your guests will thank you.

Décor & Florals

Udaipur's aesthetic calls for rich marigolds, roses, and jasmine paired with Rajasthani mirror-work textiles and brass lanterns. We source local artisans for an authentic touch that also supports the community.

Catering

Expect a magnificent spread of Rajasthani cuisine — dal baati churma, laal maas, and ghevar desserts — blended with global favourites for your guests' comfort.


Budget Considerations

A destination wedding in Udaipur can range from ₹35 lakhs to ₹3 crore+, depending on guest count, venue, and scope. Key cost drivers:

  • Venue rental (often the single largest cost)
  • Guest travel & accommodation blocks
  • Décor and florals
  • Photography & films
  • Entertainment (live musicians, folk dancers, DJ)

Having a dedicated wedding planner helps you negotiate vendor rates and avoid hidden costs — savings that often exceed the planner's fee itself.
