Plan Your Wedding in a Heritage Hotel in Jaipur

Matches are made in heaven, but the perfect wedding is definitely planned right here on earth. And when it comes to the Big Fat Indian Wedding, nothing beats the splendour and magnificence of a union made in a royal palace. To be treated like a king or queen, even if for a day, is a special feeling and one that makes this memorable occasion in the life of a couple even more unforgettable. While Indians have always treated the idea of a grand wedding with studied calm and forgone acceptance, the idea became especially popular after pictures of Elizabeth Hurley and Arun Nayyar’s wedding in Rajasthan were splashed across the world media. Not to be left behind, our very own GenY, with plump packages and cushiony jobs in England and USA, made the idea their own. So if you’re one of those who hopes to tie the proverbial knot in the presence of a caparisoned elephant and turbaned baratis, we’re not judging you! Instead, we’re happy to help by providing information on three of the oldest and most well known heritage hotels in Jaipur and how they can make your special day, even more special!

Alsisar Haveli

A royal mansion belonging to a Shekhawati clan of Rajput’s, Alsisar Haveli happens to be their oldest heritage hotel. As the flagship property of the group, its regal roots are undisputed and tenacious. From the outer courtyard of the haveli, to the sapphire waters of its pool, the many fountains spouting cool water, and the dining hall with real gold leaf inlay work, everything adds to its air of aristocracy. A wedding hosted here will have the right touch of luxury, style and comfort. Its 46 air-conditioned rooms, each with their own charm and a host of modern amenities will ensure relaxation and comfort to your guests. Camel and jeep safaris, puppet shows, and local folk dances within the hotel premises will keep guests entertained. In many ways the perfect place to forget the wedding woes and enjoy the wedding wows!
 

 

Hotel Taj Rambagh Palace

At the Rambagh Palace, the royal Rajasthan wedding just got bigger and better. A former hunting lodge, and then palace of the Maharaja of Jaipur, this property is run by the Taj Group of Hotels. Its idyllic gardens, magnificent architecture and splendid furnishings make it the ideal place to add that additional spark to any wedding revelry. As India’s first heritage hotel opened in 1957, the hotels’ Shahi Bagh alone can host up to 3000 people. The hotel also provides other amenities especially for wedding events; these include organization of theme parties and Rajasthani soirees, cultural shows in its amphitheatre, golf, croquet, polo and tennis facilities as well as a variety of catering options.

 

Diggi Palace

Close to the Old Walled City, the Diggi Palace is another ancient reminder of the city’s royal bequest. Constructed in 1860, the haveli is owned by the Thakurs of Diggi. A sprawling mansion with 60 rooms, it proves to be an awe-inspiring venue for any wedding. Armed with an admirable array of services and facilities, ranging from a multi-cuisine restaurant to a money exchange facility, jeep excursions, internet access, Ayurvedic massages, camel safaris, horse riding and yoga, it is sure to add the ‘wow’ factor to any wedding event. Wedding events are made even more special and intimate with local folk dance and music, henna application, a palmist/astrologer, and royal dinners.
