Planning a wedding in Jaipur while you are based in the UK is a different job to planning one while living in India. The distance is smaller than it looks on a map — but the gap in trust, communication and understanding of Indian vendor practices is still very real.
Amitesh Fauzdar has planned weddings in Jaipur for NRI and British Indian families for over 12 years, working directly with families in London, Leicester, Birmingham, Manchester and beyond. He handles every UK-based client personally — the same person you spoke to on your first enquiry call is the person managing your wedding day.
Amitesh Fauzdar plans Jaipur weddings for NRI families based in the UK, handling venue, decor, catering and vendor coordination on the ground while you plan from London, Birmingham, Leicester or Manchester.
Calls are scheduled in UK daytime hours, costs are shared in writing with a GBP reference, and every vendor meeting is recorded so nothing gets lost across the distance.

The UK–India time gap is small, so people assume planning from the UK should be simple. In practice, a handful of other problems cause far more trouble than the clock. Here they are, in plain words:
Vendors quoting differently to a UK number than they would to a local Jaipur client, because they assume a bigger budget.
Parents or relatives still living in India making changes to the plan without telling the couple in the UK, so two different versions of the wedding exist at once.
Struggling to judge whether a decorator's Instagram photos reflect their actual, current standard of work, or older photos from years ago.
Limited annual leave from a UK job, which means every day in Jaipur before the wedding has to be used well — not spent chasing vendors who were meant to be confirmed months earlier.
Guests flying in from both the UK and elsewhere in the diaspora, needing hotel blocks and transport that someone has to manage centrally.
This is what NRI wedding planning for UK families actually needs to solve — not just palace photographs and mood boards.
This is the part most Jaipur wedding planners never explain. Here is exactly how planning works when you are in the UK and we are in Jaipur.
Because the time difference is small, we schedule your planning calls within UK working hours without asking you to stay up late or wake up before dawn. Consistency matters more than convenience here — you get the same slot, every week, until the wedding.
When we visit a venue or meet a decorator on your behalf, we record it and send it to you. You see the same room, the same conversation, the same sample the vendor showed us — not a second-hand description of it.
You, your parents or relatives in India, and Amitesh sit in one WhatsApp thread. No separate conversations that quietly drift apart into two different weddings.
Every vendor package is put in writing with an approximate GBP figure alongside the INR cost, so you are not converting currency in your head while trying to make a decision.
If either of you holds a UK passport, BOI or OCI card, a wedding in Jaipur usually needs to work on two levels — the ceremony itself, and a marriage certificate that will be recognised once you are back in the UK. Most Jaipur wedding planners never mention this until it becomes a last-minute problem.
What we do, as part of your planning timeline, is guide you on the practical side:
A lot of your UK guests will already know what a Sangeet or a Baraat is. Some will not — colleagues, in-laws, or friends outside the community who have never been to an Indian wedding before. We plan for both, instead of assuming everyone already knows what to expect.
We do not publish generic price ranges on this page, because a haveli wedding for sixty guests and a palace wedding with four functions and three hundred guests are not the same conversation, and a number picked off a website rarely matches what you actually need.
On your first call, we go through your guest count, your venue preference and the functions you want, and build a written budget with a GBP reference next to every cost — so you know exactly what you are spending before anything is confirmed.
Direct flights between London and Delhi make Jaipur more reachable than it is for families further away — but guest visas, UK leave and vendor booking calendars still need a proper runway. This is the timeline we work to with most UK couples:
Palace and heritage venues for the October to February wedding season fill quickly with NRI bookings.
Decor theme, photography and entertainment confirmed over recorded video calls.
Catering finalised, and visa invitation letters sent to any guests who need one.
Guest travel, hotel blocks and the plain-English guide for new-to-Indian-weddings guests are finalised.
You land into a wedding that was already agreed months earlier on video call, not one still being negotiated in the final week.
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 couples based in the UK.
One point of contact throughout — Amitesh personally manages every UK-based client wedding, with no handoff to a junior team partway through.
Written contingency plans for weather, vendor changes and venue issues, so a problem on the ground does not become a crisis call at midnight UK time.
Yes. Most of our UK clients finalise venue, decor, catering and entertainment entirely over video call and recorded vendor visits, and treat their first trip to Jaipur as the wedding trip itself.
Every budget we prepare includes a written INR figure with a GBP reference, so you always know what you are agreeing to before you pay.
We set one fixed weekly slot within UK daytime hours, and record every major vendor meeting so you can review it whenever suits you.
We guide you on the practical sequence and paperwork most families need, while recommending you confirm exact requirements with a registrar or immigration solicitor.
Yes. We prepare a short, plain-English guide covering each function and the appropriate dress code, sent to guests ahead of travel.
October to February gives the most comfortable weather for outdoor functions and the easiest travel planning, though it is also the busiest season — we recommend locking your date at least 10 months ahead.
Distance should not make your wedding harder to plan. Speak to Amitesh directly and see exactly how planning works for UK-based families, from the first call to the final function in Jaipur.
