Destination Wedding at Storii by ITC Hotels, Jaisalmer — Where Royal Romance Meets the Golden Desert
A regal palace setting in the heart of Rajasthan - perfect for Indian and International weddings.
A Wedding Written in Gold
Imagine exchanging your vows beneath an amber Rajasthani sky, while honey-hued sandstone walls glow in the last light of the desert sun. Picture your guests being welcomed with rose petals, the soulful strains of Manganiyar music in the air, and the silhouette of the legendary Sonar Quila in the distance. This is not a fairytale — this is a wedding at Storii by ITC Hotels, Jaisalmer.
Tucked into the timeless landscape of the Thar Desert, Storii is one of Jaisalmer's most enchanting wedding addresses — a property that captures the regal romance of Rajasthan without compromising on the modern luxuries that today's discerning couples expect. Whether you are planning an intimate Indian shaadi or a grand international wedding for guests flying in from across the globe, Storii promises a celebration that is as cinematic as it is seamless.
Why Jaisalmer for Your Destination Wedding?
Known the world over as the Golden City, Jaisalmer has long been a coveted dream for couples seeking a wedding that feels lifted from the pages of a royal storybook. Its UNESCO-listed living fort, ornately carved havelis, vast dune-scapes, and warm Rajasthani hospitality make it a postcard-perfect backdrop for every ritual — from the intimate haldi to the grandest baraat.
The cool, clear winter season from October through March is the most popular window for weddings here. Days are sun-kissed and pleasant, evenings are crisp and starlit, and the desert wears its most photogenic palette of gold, rose, and indigo. For couples planning Indian weddings, the cultural richness of Rajasthan blends beautifully with traditional rituals; for international couples, Jaisalmer offers a once-in-a-lifetime location wedding that feels exotic, exclusive, and entirely Instagram-worthy.
Storii by ITC Hotels — A Boutique Heritage Address
Storii is ITC Hotel's curated collection of handpicked boutique properties, designed for the modern global traveller who seeks character, story and craft in every stay. The Jaisalmer property is a stunning example of this philosophy — a heritage-style retreat where carved jharokhas, peacock motifs, frescoed ceilings, and royal courtyards meet contemporary comfort and the legendary ITC service standard.
Every corner of the resort tells a story. Cerulean walls hand-painted in floral meenakari style. Lounges drenched in saffron and gold. Open archways framing the desert horizon. Pools guarded by stone elephants. It is, in every sense, a property built for celebrations.
Quick Facts at a Glance
Accommodation — A Room for Every Guest
A successful destination wedding hinges on how well your guests are pampered, and Storii's room inventory is built for exactly this. With 131 keys across eight distinct categories, the resort comfortably hosts large bridal parties, family entourages, and intimate VIP groups all under one roof.
The Luxury Suite with Plunge Pool is a particular favourite for newlyweds — imagine waking up to the desert sunrise from your private pool deck on the first morning of your married life.
The Wedding Venues — Crafted for Every Ritual
Storii offers a beautifully balanced mix of indoor grandeur and outdoor romance, allowing wedding planners to design distinctive experiences across multiple ceremonies without ever repeating a venue.
Sunset Patio
The crown jewel for a sangeet or cocktail evening. Open lawns flanked by glowing palace walls and twilight skies, with a long ceremonial pathway that lends itself to dramatic bridal entries.
Pool Side Venue
With its iconic stone elephant fountains, lantern-lit pillars, and palace silhouette in the backdrop, the poolside is unforgettable for a Mehendi brunch, white-themed cocktail night, or after-party.
Front Lawn
The expansive emerald lawn fronted by Storii's illuminated heritage façade — a breathtaking canvas for a grand baraat reception, pheras under the stars, or a marquee-style international wedding.
The Banquet Hall
A magnificent indoor ballroom with chandelier-studded ceilings, scalloped arches, and rich Rajasthani carpets — ideal for sit-down dinners, formal receptions, or weather-resilient ceremonies.
With 1 indoor and 3 outdoor venues, planners have the flexibility to flow guests across functions over a 3-to-5-day Indian wedding or to choreograph an intimate two-day international ceremony with style.

Food is the soul of every Indian wedding, and ITC Hotels are renowned for their culinary mastery. Storii Jaisalmer continues this legacy through two signature spaces:
