To marry at the City Palace of Udaipur is to marry inside living history. The seat of the Mewar dynasty for centuries, this vast complex of courtyards, balconies and gateways towers over Lake Pichola — a backdrop of genuine royalty that no purpose-built venue can imitate. It is reserved for the grandest, most ceremonial of celebrations.

Why couples choose The City Palace

  • The largest royal palace complex in Rajasthan, still home to the Mewar dynasty
  • Ceremonial courtyards such as Manek Chowk for truly grand functions
  • Sweeping views over Lake Pichola and the Aravalli hills
  • Unmatched royal heritage for once-in-a-lifetime celebrations

Why marry at the City Palace

Authenticity. This is not a hotel styled to look royal — it is the real royal palace of Mewar. The ceremonial courtyards lend overwhelming grandeur to a Baraat entry or a reception, and the heritage gravity of the setting elevates every photograph and every ritual. For families who want their wedding to feel genuinely regal, nothing else compares.

Functions & how we use the spaces

Select courtyards within the complex host large ceremonial functions — grand processions, receptions and the main ceremony — while nearby heritage hotels handle pre-wedding functions and guest stay. Working within a protected heritage monument means strict guidelines on décor, power, sound and timings, all of which we manage end to end.

Logistics, season & permits

City Palace weddings require advance permissions and careful coordination with the palace administration. We handle approvals, heritage-compliant production, vendor access and guest logistics, and stage stay and pre-functions at partner palace hotels along the lake. Peak season runs October to March and must be locked 12–18 months ahead.
