Gujarat- The Land Of Princes

Not so popular yet for destination weddings, but we definitely recommend this state to give a try and we promise you won’t regret it. Gujarat has no doubt been less explored as a location for destination weddings, but this western coastal state has a lot to offer along those lines!
Best places for wedding have to be Laxmi Vilas Palace, Vadodara- The three centuries old palace provides a gorgeous backdrop for a jaw-dropping wedding venue. Located in the midst of a lush green lawn, LVP Banquets is truly nothing short of magical. If you want a romantic and picturesque wedding, this is your venue for the day!

Hyderabad- The City Of Pearls
All metros like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore – have a lot of beautiful hotels where you can get married. All these properties have beautiful gardens or banquets and exquisite rooms. But there are very few properties in India, which allow you to actually stay where the Kings & Queens once lived. Hyderabad has one such property- Taj Falaknuma Palace. Falaknuma – meaning ‘mirror of the sky’ is an iconic all marble palace which has combination of Italian and Tudor architecture giving it its Unique look.

The best thing about this location is, if you have the grand budget, you could book this entire palace for your guests and stay in it like royals.
Jaipur- The Pink City
This city could have been included along with Udaipur, but it wont do the justice. Jaipur requires a special mention when it comes to destination weddings. It is a quintessential part of India’s Golden Triangle, beautiful city full of blush pink palaces and forts, crowded markets famous for handicrafts, silver jewellery, semi-precious stones, fabric with rajasthani prints, and hidden gems for antique collectors. Just like Udaipur, if you are hosting a wedding here then you don’t have to worry about the guests here, there are plenty of sightseeing and shopping options here. The palaces, with the surrounding mountains would make for such stunning backgrounds that you wouldn’t really need to do much to bring your dreams to life! Infact, planning a destination wedding in Rajasthan has quite a lot of advantages except for the heat. But for that you could plan out the months accordingly.
Best places in this pink city would be Taj Rambagh Palace, Jai Mahal Palace, Samode Palace and Haveli, Hari Mahal Palace to name a few.
