Food and bar rules, the dates of the camel fair and travel from Jaipur all shape the plan.

What we handle for your Pushkar wedding
- Venue shortlist and negotiation: hill resort or garden resort, with room blocks, function spaces and rates for your dates.
- Design and décor: a separate concept for each function, from a poolside haldi to a temple-inspired wedding mandap.
- Guest hospitality: RSVPs, road transfers from Jaipur International Airport, pickups at Ajmer railway station, room allocation, welcome hampers and a help desk at the hotel.
- Logistics: menus and bar service confirmed with the resort early, since Pushkar is a holy town, transfers from Jaipur and Ajmer, and a covered backup for every outdoor function.
- Vendors and entertainment: catering, photographers, makeup, choreographers, DJs, folk musicians and live artists.
- Permissions and rituals: pandit or officiant, ceremony timings, a puja at Pushkar Lake if you want one, and music and fireworks timings agreed with the hotel.

In Pushkar the date moves the budget most. Resorts sell out and rates rise around the Pushkar camel fair, held each year in October or November, so we check the fair dates before holding yours. Larger weddings may take two resorts for rooms. See the venue-by-venue details on wedding venues in Pushkar.

Pushkar wedding planner FAQs
How do we choose a destination wedding planner in Pushkar?
Check which Pushkar resorts the planner has delivered weddings at, how they handle food and bar rules in a holy town and travel from Jaipur and Ajmer, and whether they give you a written budget before you pay an advance. IWP has planned weddings since 2013 and works with three Pushkar wedding resorts.
How much does a destination wedding in Pushkar cost with a planner?
IWP's all-inclusive Pushkar weddings start at about ?1 crore (US$105,000) for 50–100 guests over 2 days. A 3-day wedding for 150–250 guests is about ?3–5 crore, a 4-day wedding for 300–500 guests is ?7–10 crore, and 500+ guests or a full buyout is ?10 crore and above. Our planning fee is included in these bands.
How far in advance should we book a wedding planner in Pushkar?
At least 6–7 months before the wedding. Pushkar has only three large resorts, so for a winter date, and especially one near the camel fair, book 12 months ahead.
Are alcohol and non-vegetarian food allowed at a Pushkar wedding?
Pushkar is a holy town, and food and bar rules depend on the venue and its licence. We confirm the menu and bar service with your resort at the very start, before you book.
How do guests get to Pushkar?
Most guests fly into Jaipur International Airport and come by road, about 2.5–3 hours. Ajmer railway station, about 15 km away, has trains from Delhi and other cities, and we arrange pickups from both.
What is the best time of year for a wedding in Pushkar?
October to March, for cool, dry weather. Plan around the camel fair in October or November, when hotels fill up. April to June is very hot, and July to September is the monsoon.
