A bit about the Venues …
The City Palace Complex combining two Grand Heritage Hotels called “Shiv Niwas Palace” and “Fateh Prakash Palace”, historical monuments (now being offered as venue for royal weddings) like Jagmandir Island Palace, Zenana Mahal, Manek Chowk and Darbar Hall have helped a great deal to popularize Udaipur as the ultimate and exclusive choice for weddings. The ambiance and the aesthetic beauty at all the venues is one of its kind and unmatched.
Amongst all Jagmandir Island Palace is the premium most choice and only available option for the main Wedding day. Many Celebrities and upscale weddings have been witnessed at this venue. It is said that Shah Jahan took refuge at jagmandir and this is where he got the inspiration to build Taj Mahal. It is often referred to as a swarg ki vatika or garden of heaven. When cocktails, theme-dinners, banquets and wedding ceremonies are organised here, the flowers and special lighting, folk dancers and fireworks bring alive this garden of heaven in vibrant colours of celebrations. Musical soirees and performances at the Garden Courtyard, wedding ceremonies at Kunwarpada Chowk, lavish buffets or sit-down banquets at Kunwarpada Lawns.
Fort Fatehgarh which has started its operation as a Hotel has come out to be most promising venue. It is a Heritage Renaissance Resort – Sanctuary with 360° commanding views of Aravali Hill Ranges, Lake Pichola, City Palace Complex and the old city. Heritage Renaissance – a term used to describe the laborious transplanting of the stone by stone, pillar by pillar of a heritage structure from a place not very far away to a new location thereby conserving the rich Architectural Heritage for the generations to come.
Within the first year of its commencement as an Hotel, it attracted several couples to get hitched in a royal style. It is definitely a perfect package for families who would like to take up entire Palace (50 Rooms and Suites accommodating upto 125 guests) and experience the traditional grandeur over the 3/4 days period. Its an advantage available venues like the Darbar hall, Courtyard, Poolside, Jai Bagh etc would be at at their disposal with a complete privacy.
