Umaid Bhawan Palace is a monument in golden sandstone — one of the largest private residences on earth, still part-home to the Jodhpur royal family. Crowning Chittar Hill above the Blue City, its Art-Deco domes and sweeping lawns have hosted some of the most talked-about weddings in India. It is a venue for couples who want their celebration to feel like an event of state.

Why marry at Umaid Bhawan Palace
Sheer iconic presence. The palace's scale, golden façade and royal-residence status give a wedding unmatched prestige, and its elevated position delivers dramatic views over Jodhpur. The grand lawns and domed central hall provide both vast open-air settings and breathtaking interiors.
Functions & how we use the spaces
We use the expansive lawns for the Baraat, Sangeet and Pheras against the palace silhouette, and the regal interiors for an intimate, opulent reception. The grounds allow a full multi-day celebration with each function staged in a distinct, photogenic setting.
Logistics, season & guest stay
As a working royal residence and luxury hotel, dates are limited and book far ahead — peak winter especially. On-site suites host close family, with partner hotels in Jodhpur for larger lists; we manage transfers from Jodhpur airport, room blocks and the full hospitality desk.
