Jaipur is quite popular for destination weddings which offer a great view of heritage, thus it is very popular for grand wedding ceremonies which take place in authentic magnificent palaces. The 'Pink City' offers a variety of ideas and options for a venue which starts from palaces like Raj Palace, Rambagh Palace to traditional havelis. Samode Palace is a perfect venue for a wedding, which offers a stunning view of the Aravalli ranges and royal ambiance. I want to share one of my experiences when I visited Jaipur in December 2019 to attend my friend's wedding, it was held at Hotel Diggi Palace which was a heritage property. My friend is from Hindu family but his fiancée was from Sikh family so they decided to do marriage according to Sikh rituals so in the morning we went to Gurudwara for prayers and in the evening the main reception was arranged in the Garden area. The main course was many kinds of shakes, wine and many more things. It was a very nice wedding and I enjoyed it very much because the wedding venue was very nice.
Udaipur is one of the most beautiful and most popular places among Indians and foreigners as it has lakes and palaces which offer amazing views. The beauty of the palace building is still the same as it was in the olden days which gives a royal feeling to anyone. It appears like an extraordinary fairy tale as it is one of the best places provided by Jag Mandir Palace or Oberoi Udaivilas Hotel which is surrounded by grandeur and majestic touch. It has also been used in the Bollywood film Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani where Kalki Koechlin's wedding was shot.
Shimla is not only the most romantic place, it is also the honeymoon destination for Indian people. It is a dream come true by getting married in the mountains or planning the ceremonies in forest guest houses or camps near the river to take an extraordinary leap. Shimla is surrounded by mountains, so it is best for those who love snow-capped mountains, which will make your wedding very romantic.
Rajasthan is one of the most charming places to have a wedding. To get married in the magnificent palace hotel known as Umaid Bhavan, which is perched on a hilltop with a stunning view of the "blue city," people go all the way to Jodhpur. Some lavish weddings have taken place in this magnificent palace, which is still occupied by the royal family. Additional Jodhpur location choices include the magnificent Mehrangarh Fort, the Ajit Bhawan, and the Ranbanka Palace.
Goa is probably one of the most loved places by tourists and the first choice of honeymooners. It is a place to enjoy any kind of festival from evening to morning. Rent a resort on the beach and enjoy your day and night dancing with music and cocktails, it becomes a better place for destination weddings.
For individuals who prefer a small, gorgeous ceremony over a large, crowded affair, Kerala is a kind and pleasant venue. The tranquil, picturesque backwaters offer a sight that will likely stay in one's mind forever. The ideal retreat for an Indian destination wedding. Imagine the backwaters, the beautiful houseboats, and the beaches dotted with coconut palm palms.
No matter which place you choose, a destination wedding has its own charm. After all, it is one of the most beautiful things of a lifetime. It also keeps you away from those annoying relatives whom you do not want to invite to your wedding. It makes for a great wedding venue with just a few special people like close friends and family members.
