If there is one city in India that seems tailor-made for destination weddings, that’s Udaipur!
Reflections of royal palaces in the lakes, the Aravalli hills in the background, the flowering courtyards and the breathtaking sunsets – Udaipur hardly needs any introduction when it comes to weddings!
But choosing Udaipur as the location for your wedding is only half the battle won.
The tougher part is: Where should you marry in Udaipur?
From famous palace hotels to luxurious resorts and modern luxury properties, there are various options available in Udaipur. Choosing the right destination depends on your guest count, budget, functions, and above all, the experience you want to create.
At V Star Exultation, we organise and execute destination weddings in Udaipur and help couples with wedding destination management including wedding venues, decor, wedding hospitality, functions etc.
Here are some of the venues we organise weddings in for couples who want to marry in Udaipur.
Why is Udaipur the Best for Destination Weddings?
India is full of wedding destinations but the City of Lakes has managed to carve out an identity of its own.
In a large part, it is due to its unique architecture. In a part, it is due to the lakes and hills surrounding the city.
And a large part of it is due to the wide range of wedding experiences that the city offers.
You can go for a traditional wedding in the lap of royal architecture, an intimate wedding in front of a lake, an extravagant wedding in a huge resort and even a modern and luxurious wedding away from the busy parts of the city.
It means that Udaipur does not necessarily dictate your wedding; rather, it gives you a chance to choose the Udaipur that fits you.
1. The Oberoi Udaivilas
While dreaming about an elaborate wedding in Udaipur, The Oberoi Udaivilas is always an option that pops up.
Situated on the banks of Lake Pichola, the venue is famous for its domes, courtyards, gardens and architecture inspired by the palaces of Rajasthan.
It makes for a venue that automatically takes care of most of the wedding experience by providing you with the architecture and landscaping.
A day wedding can make full use of the property while an evening ceremony can give your wedding a completely different feel altogether with the use of lighting, sound and production.
It is one of the best venues for couples who want a luxury experience in Udaipur.
2. Taj Lake Palace
While there are various wedding venues, some venues make sure that people never forget the place they reached after travelling for hours.
Taj Lake Palace is definitely one such venue.
Set amidst Lake Pichola, the white marble palace seems to float on the surface of the water and creates an amazing impression as soon as you reach the venue.
It can be very effective when you want your wedding to feel regal with just the setting.
Imagine yourself and your closest family members surrounded by the lake, palace architecture and the skyline of the city while celebrating the most important day of your lives!
For the right guest list and wedding format, no other venue can recreate that feeling!
3. The Leela Palace Udaipur
If you want to enjoy Lake Pichola but do not want an elaborate wedding, The Leela Palace Udaipur is one such venue for you.
Apart from the lakeside setting giving you an amazing view, the property makes sure that you get a luxurious palace experience.
One of the best things about this venue is that it gives you the flexibility to host multiple events with different moods and styles.
Your welcome dinner can be informal while your mehendi can be done during the daylight. Your sangeet can be glamorous while your wedding ceremony can again be something more relaxed and romantic.
Instead of sticking to one visual identity throughout three days of celebrations, the venue allows you to change it.
4. Raffles Udaipur
If you want an authentic Udaipur experience without having to choose a palace hotel, Raffles Udaipur is one such venue for you.
Being located on a private island, the venue has a classic influence combined with the luxurious resort experience.
It not only makes your wedding feel isolated from the rest of the city but also gives the wedding an air of privacy.
Once you reach the destination, it becomes immersive for you. It means that everyone will be together at one place, the wedding will be happening at one destination and you can forget about everything else going on in the city.
It becomes an incredible luxury especially in case of multi-day weddings.
5. Fairmont Udaipur Palace
For large scale weddings, Fairmont Udaipur Palace comes into the conversation.
When you are organising a wedding with a large number of guests, choosing a venue is not only about making sure that the property looks beautiful. Apart from that, you need to make sure that you have the space for multiple events and productions, guest movement and logistic requirements.
A bigger venue helps us to provide different wedding experiences through different events and functions.
While the haldi ceremony should not be as glamorous as your wedding ceremony, the wedding should definitely be better than your sangeet.
6. Taj Aravali Resort & Spa
Not every Udaipur wedding requires Lake Pichola as the backdrop!
Taj Aravali Resort & Spa gives you another aspect of the city – the Aravalli landscape and the spaciousness.
For couples who want spaciousness without losing out on luxury, this kind of a resort property is an incredible option.
It not only opens up the options of hosting less formal events like a pool party but also gives an earthy feeling to the celebration.
7. The Ananta Udaipur
Another resort-like option for couples who want a wedding among the Aravalli hills is The Ananta Udaipur.
Covering a large piece of land, it can fit very well with those weddings where accommodation for guests and multiple wedding functions are required.
It can be a very helpful option especially in case of bigger Indian weddings where people need to move around to host various events.
Which Udaipur Wedding Venue is Right for You?
There is no straight forward answer.
While The Oberoi Udaivilas may be right for one couple, the same may not apply to the other couples.
Same goes for the other venues in Udaipur which we have mentioned – Taj Lake Palace, The Leela Palace, Raffles, Fairmont, Taj Aravali and The Ananta.
Start with four things:
Guest count: A wedding of 100 persons is completely different from a wedding of 500 persons!
Wedding Style: Do you dream about a palace, a lake, hills, sprawling lawns or a contemporary resort?
Functions: While a property may look good enough to host a wedding ceremony, the same property may not suit the sangeet you want to organise!
Overall budget: Venue not only affects the budget of rooms but many other things as well.
Décor, logistic management, transportation arrangements, production management and much more are part of the wedding planning.
Therefore, a good destination wedding plan considers all of these factors together.
The Part of the Wedding Guests Never See!
Your guests will see the flowers and the decorations. They will see the stage, the rooms and the celebrations that you have planned.
However, what they never see is the management team updating the room list, the vendors who arrive late, the transport arrangement that is changed, the décor teams that work till late night and much more.
Wedding planning is not all about choosing the decorations!
At V Star Exultation, we handle all the logistic arrangements related to your Udaipur destination wedding including property coordination, décor, hospitality, transport, vendors, artists, entertainment and complete management of your wedding.
We ensure that once the wedding starts, only the family is left to celebrate the wedding.
Your Udaipur Wedding Starts with the Right Venue
Perhaps you dream of getting married near Lake Pichola. Maybe a palace courtyard full of flowers. Maybe it is an intimate ceremony with 100 guests.
Or it could be a grand wedding with hundreds of guests, multiple functions and a sangeet that will continue till everyone is hoarse-throated!
There is no single way to plan your Udaipur wedding.
There is only your way!
Whether it is The Oberoi Udaivilas, Taj Lake Palace, The Leela Palace Udaipur, Raffles Udaipur, Fairmont Udaipur Palace, Taj Aravali Resort & Spa, The Ananta Udaipur or someplace else, V Star Exultation can help you plan your wedding from the first interaction till the last event.
