From the historic ramparts of Udaipur to the heritage halls of Jaipur, we plan palace weddings where royal architecture meets your vision. See how we transform these grand spaces.
The City Palace in Udaipur provides a breathtaking canvas. Here, I used architectural lighting to accentuate the palace's facade, creating a majestic backdrop for a Sangeet night that feels both grand and intimate.

To create a fairytale atmosphere, I draped the trees at Jagmandir with cascading fairy lights and crystal chandeliers. This lighting design transforms the outdoor space into an enchanted forest, perfect for a romantic evening celebration.
The entrance to a royal wedding should be a statement. At Jagmandir, I combined traditional floral garlands with intricate architectural details to craft a stately and welcoming gateway for guests.
This Sangeet stage at Jagmandir Island Palace was designed for a powerful impact. I used dramatic spotlights and a rich red color scheme to create a focal point that commands attention against the royal architecture.
Incorporating cultural and spiritual elements is key to a meaningful celebration. This stunning Nataraja installation, surrounded by diyas, served as a divine centerpiece and a blessing for the couple's journey.
The pathway to the main event area is an opportunity to build anticipation. I lined the walkway with grand candelabras and a plush red carpet, guiding guests toward the palace with a sense of regal formality.

About Royal Palace Weddings
Designing for a heritage palace is not just about placing decor; it is about lighting the architecture without overwhelming it. I use strategic architectural lighting to highlight original stone carvings and arches, ensuring the palace remains the main backdrop of your night while creating a functional, seamless guest flow that feels intimate despite the massive scale.
Working with heritage venues like those in Udaipur, Jaipur, and Kumbhalgarh requires a deep understanding of the space's limitations and history. My process begins with a site assessment to identify what can be modified and what must remain untouched.
The Royal Approach
Palace weddings are not about cluttering the space with heavy fabrics. I focus on subtle enhancements that complement the existing royal aesthetic. This means working with the venue's natural lighting, accentuating courtyards with candlelit pathways, and ensuring that any mandap or stage construction respects the architectural integrity of the site.
Technical Logistics
Behind the beauty of a palace wedding lies intense planning. Because these are protected heritage sites, I handle the specific permissions, power backup logistics, and vendor access management required for large-scale setups. My team coordinates everything from floor masking to protect the existing stones to using silent generators that do not disrupt the quiet ambiance of a fort or palace.
Creating Depth
Whether we are setting up at City Palace or a private haveli, I look at the layout as a journey. I create zones for movement, ensuring that guests do not feel lost in the grand architecture. By blending my lighting setups with your chosen color palette, I ensure the venue feels like it was designed specifically for your event, rather than just a rented space.
