How to Plan a Destination Wedding in Udaipur
Udaipur — the City of Lakes — is India's most sought-after destination wedding location. Here's everything you need to know to plan a flawless celebration there.

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.
