A Jaipur wedding planned from Canada has one problem most planners never say out loud: the distance is real, and a nine to thirteen hour time gap plus a full day of travel means you cannot simply drive over to check on a decorator or sit in on a tasting. Everything has to be planned so that trust does not depend on being physically present.
Amitesh Fauzdar has been planning weddings in Jaipur for over 12 years, including destination weddings for Indo-Canadian families spread across Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta. He personally manages every Canada-based client — you are not handed off to a coordinator you have never spoken to.
Amitesh Fauzdar plans destination weddings in Jaipur for Indo-Canadian families across Toronto, Brampton, Surrey, Vancouver and Calgary.
He handles venue booking, decor, catering and vendor coordination on the ground in Jaipur, shares every cost in writing with a CAD reference, and sends video walkthroughs so families can approve decisions without flying in early.

The obvious challenge is distance. The bigger challenge is what that distance actually causes once planning begins:
A nine to thirteen hour time difference depending on whether you are in Toronto, Calgary or Vancouver, which makes even a simple weekly update hard to schedule consistently.
Family spread across two or three Canadian provinces, all wanting input on the same decisions, with no single person coordinating what everyone actually agreed to.
Vendors who assume a Canadian client has an unlimited budget, and price accordingly — unless someone on the ground is negotiating on your behalf.
Limited vacation days from a Canadian job, meaning your trip to Jaipur has to walk into a wedding that is already decided, not one still being negotiated.
Guests flying in from multiple Canadian cities and from India, needing hotel blocks and transport that has to be managed from one place, not five different group chats.
This is the actual job of planning a destination wedding from Canada — not just picking a palace and a photographer.
We agree one recurring call slot that works with your Canadian time zone — most families choose a Canadian evening, which lines up with Jaipur's morning. You get a consistent update every week, not a scramble to catch someone awake.
Rather than a handful of Instagram photos, we send you an actual walkthrough video of the venue, the decor mock-up, or the vendor meeting itself. You see the real space and the real conversation, not a curated highlight reel.
You, your family in Canada, your relatives in India, and Amitesh sit in a single WhatsApp group. One version of the plan, one place to check it, instead of three different conversations drifting apart.
Every vendor package is confirmed in writing with an approximate CAD figure next to the INR cost, so you are not doing currency math in your head while trying to approve a decision.
This is the part almost no Jaipur wedding planner explains, and it has actually gotten easier in the last two years. Canada joined the Hague Apostille Convention, effective January 11, 2024. India has been a member since 2005. Because both countries are now part of the same convention, an Indian marriage certificate can be apostilled directly by India's Ministry of External Affairs and used in Canada — without the older, multi-step embassy attestation chain that used to be required.
As part of your planning timeline, we help with the practical side:
Your Canadian guest list is rarely just one city. Add relatives travelling from India, and you have three separate travel patterns landing in Jaipur on the same week. We plan for that instead of leaving it to chance:
We are not going to put a generic price table on this page. A sixty-guest haveli wedding and a four-hundred-guest palace wedding with three functions are not the same budget conversation, and a number picked off a website is rarely accurate for what you actually want.
On your first call, we go through your guest count, venue preference and functions, and build a written budget with a CAD reference next to every cost, so you know precisely what you are approving before anything is locked in.
Long-haul travel, guest visas and vacation-day planning all need more runway than a local wedding. This is the timeline that works for most of our Canada-based couples:
Palace and heritage venues for the October to February wedding season are the first to book out for NRI and Canada-based weddings.
Decor theme, photography and entertainment confirmed over video call, backed by walkthrough videos, not just photos.
Catering finalised and visa invitation letters sent to guests who need one.
Hotel blocks, transport and the guest guide for anyone new to Indian weddings are finalised.
You walk into a wedding that was decided months earlier on video call, and spend your vacation days at the wedding — not fixing it.
12+ years of hospitality experience, including senior roles with hotel groups such as Orchid Hotels and Clarks Group, before founding Weddings and Events by Amitesh.
500+ weddings executed, with direct working relationships at Rambagh Palace, Fairmont Jaipur, Chomu Palace, Samode Bagh and Leela Palace Jaipur.
Verified and rated on WedMeGood and WeddingWire, including reviews from Indo-Canadian couples.
One point of contact throughout — Amitesh personally manages every Canada-based client wedding, with no handoff partway through.
Written contingency plans for weather, vendor changes and venue issues, so a problem on the ground does not turn into a 2am phone call to Canada.
Yes. Most of our Canada-based couples finalise venue, decor, catering and entertainment over video call and recorded walkthroughs, and treat their first trip to Jaipur as the wedding trip itself.
Every budget we prepare includes a written INR figure with a CAD reference, so you know exactly what you are approving before any payment is made.
We fix one weekly call in your evening, and back it up with recorded vendor meetings and video walkthroughs you can watch on your own schedule.
Yes. Since Canada joined the Hague Apostille Convention in January 2024, and India has been a member since 2005, an Indian marriage certificate can now be apostilled and used in Canada without the older embassy legalization process. We guide you through the practical steps, while recommending you confirm final requirements with a registrar or immigration lawyer.
Yes. We manage a single hotel block for all your Canadian and Indian guests together, so travel and accommodation are handled centrally instead of everyone booking separately.
October to February gives the most comfortable weather for outdoor functions and is the busiest NRI wedding season — we recommend locking your date at least 12 months ahead.
Nine time zones and a long flight should not make your wedding harder to plan. Speak to Amitesh directly and see exactly how planning works for Canada-based families, from the first call to the final function in Jaipur.
