How We Plan Weddings at Raffles Udaipur

Raffles Udaipur is India's first Raffles property — an island resort set on Udai Sagar Lake, with the Aravalli hills rising in the distance. Opened in 2021, its architecture draws on Mughal and Rajput design, and its own garden temple takes inspiration from a 400-year-old Mahadev temple perched high in the hills above.

This is not just a luxury resort — it is one of the largest and most versatile wedding canvases in Udaipur, with sprawling lawns, a grand ballroom, and lake views from nearly every corner of the property. Whether you're planning an intimate ceremony or a multi-day celebration for hundreds of guests, Raffles has the scale to match your vision.

At Weddings and Events by Amitesh, recognized as a luxury wedding planner Udaipur couples trust for elegant and seamless celebrations, and experienced wedding planners in Udaipur, we bring 12+ years of experience across the region's top palace and lake-facing properties to every Raffles Udaipur wedding we design. We know how to use its scale to your advantage — matching the right lawn or hall to each function, so nothing ever feels oversized or underwhelming.

What Makes Raffles Udaipur Special for Weddings

• A private island setting on Udai Sagar Lake, with the Aravalli hills as a natural backdrop.
• 101 rooms and suites, including 1 premium suite and 16 suites, so your wedding party stays together on-site.
• Five in-house restaurants and bars, including the Long Bar and Writers Bar, plus a 1,100 sq. m Raffles Spa.
• The city's largest indoor ballroom, spanning roughly 9,000 sq. ft. with a 3,000 sq. ft. pre-function area.
• Guest capacity ranging from intimate gatherings to over 800 on the main event lawn.
• A dedicated garden temple inspired by a centuries-old hillside shrine — a serene, ready-made setting for ceremonies.

With this much space to work with, we plan each function on its own footprint — so an intimate Mehendi doesn't get lost in a 500-person lawn, and a big Sangeet has all the room it needs.
