Top 5 Wedding Destinations In INDIA

The interest in India as a wedding destination has greatly grown in recent years. These days, not only do foreigners want to get married in spectacular venues all across the country, Indians do as well! The most popular locations for destination weddings in India are the authentic palaces of Rajasthan, and beaches of Goa (and now Kerala). Regal wedding or beach wedding, it's up to you to choose. One thing is important though, make sure you have a decent wedding planner  to do all the organizing. Their help will be invaluable.

1. GOA

Goa happens to be one of the best places for a destination wedding in the country. Tourists flock to its beaches just to tie the knot. The best way to plan a wedding here is to hire a wedding planner. Choosing a local planner will work in your favour as beach weddings require prior permission. The luxury hotels at Varca Beach and Morbor Beach, both in the southern part of Goa, are ideal for beach weddings. If you prefer a quiet garden ceremony, you can opt for resorts near Palolem Beach in south Goa.

2. Udaipur

A luxury wedding destination in India, Udaipur is known for its palaces and lakes. The city’s architecture perfectly blends modernism with tradition, giving you a perfect setting for your dream wedding. Choose from some exotic fort locations, such as Taj Lake Palace, Devi Garh, Oberoi Udaivilas, Trident Hilton, Durbar Hall at Fateh Prakash Palace, Manek Chowk and many more.

3. Jaipur

Jaipur, the Pink City is a perennial favourite for marriages, owing to its diversity of locations. The wedding sites range from real ornate palaces to ancient, well-maintained mansions. The old mansions in Jaipur serve as ideal venues for marriages, if you have a limited budget. Mandawa Haveli and Alsisar Haveli are also in great demand. If you want your marriage to be a quiet affair, you can opt for Samode Palace (a heritage site away from the main city).

4. Jodhpur 

Umaid Bhavan is the epitome of luxury when it comes to wedding destinations in Jodhpur. Known for several celebrity weddings, this palace rather dons a modern look inside. Being one of the finest wedding venues in Jodhpur, Umaid Bhavan screams of its extravagance. Ajit Bhavan, Balsamand Lake Palace, and Ratanada Polo Palace are few other places which can give a new high to your wedding ceremonies.

5. Kerala

With its coconut palm lined beaches, tranquil stretches of backwaters and houseboats, Kerala is one of the most sought after wedding destinations. The resorts in Trivendrum, Alleppey, Kovalam, and Kochi give you ample options to choose your wedding venue. They cater to all types of requirements, tastes and budget as well.
