Udaipur gives you lake palaces, a City Palace setting and quiet hill resorts, often within a short drive of each other. Choosing between them, holding the right dates and moving 200 guests between a hotel, a jetty and a mandap is where a planner earns their fee. IWP – Indian Wedding Planners has planned destination weddings since 2013 from our offices in Jaipur and Mumbai, and Udaipur is one of the cities we plan in most.

A recent Udaipur wedding: Shriya and Aditya at ITC Mementos
Shriya and Aditya held their sangeet, haldi, varmala and wedding at ITC Mementos Udaipur, with the cocktail in Jaipur. We gave each function its own look: a soft floral "Evening in Udaipur" sangeet, a marigold-yellow haldi, a Rajputana varmala and a temple-inspired wedding ceremony. Our team handled logistics and décor so the family could stay with their guests rather than with the vendors.
Speaking to WeddingSutra, Shriya said: "It genuinely felt like my own family was working on the wedding." See the full wedding story.

Udaipur wedding planner FAQs
How do we choose a destination wedding planner in Udaipur?
Check how long the planner has worked in Udaipur, which Udaipur venues they have delivered weddings at, whether independent media have featured their work, and whether they give you a written budget before you pay an advance. IWP has planned weddings since 2013, works with 17 Udaipur hotels and had its ITC Mementos Udaipur wedding featured by WeddingSutra.
How much does a destination wedding in Udaipur cost with a planner?
IWP's all-inclusive Udaipur 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 Udaipur?
At least 6–7 months before the wedding. For a lake-palace venue such as The Leela Palace or The Oberoi Udaivilas on a peak date between October and March, book 12 months ahead, because those dates sell out first.
Which Udaipur venue lets us hold every function in one place?
ITC Mementos Udaipur is our first recommendation: a private 50-acre hill resort with 117 suites and villas, seven event spaces and the Frangipani Lawn for up to 1,000 guests. Fairmont Udaipur Palace (327 rooms) suits larger weddings that need more rooms on site.
Can you plan our Udaipur wedding while we live abroad?
Yes. Many of our couples live in the USA, UK, Canada and the Gulf. One senior planner runs the wedding through video calls and live venue tours, and we handle guest travel, hotel arrivals and hospitality on the ground in Udaipur.
What is the best time of year for a wedding in Udaipur?
October to March, for cool evenings and clear lake views. November, December and February are the busiest months. July to September is the monsoon: the lakes are full, venue rates are at their lowest, and we plan functions under cover.
