Fort Rajwada Jaisalmer | Weddings and Events by Amitesh

At Weddings and Events by Amitesh, we plan destination weddings at properties with genuine palace-scale grandeur. Among our trusted recommendations is Fort Rajwada — a regal heritage hotel on Barmer Road, Jaisalmer, built to replicate the splendour of a royal Rajwada with sandstone architecture, carved jharokhas, and expansive lawns. As one of the largest-capacity wedding venues in Jaisalmer, it stands out for couples who want a truly grand baraat-and-lawn wedding with palace-style theatrics.

Note: Established roughly two decades ago and spread across about 6 acres, Fort Rajwada is ideal for mid-to-very-large weddings, with sprawling front lawns able to seat up to 1,000 guests and manage floating crowds as high as 1,500. Cost estimates vary widely by source and by which spaces are booked — some quote venue charges of roughly ₹5–10 lakh per event depending on space and décor, while catering is typically billed separately on a per-plate basis.

Venue Overview

Fort Rajwada is designed to feel like an authentic royal Rajwada, with sandstone façades, intricately carved balconies and jalis, and large internal courtyards spread across a 6-acre heritage property. The hotel offers a genuine mix of scale options — from a cosy boardroom for small functions to sprawling front lawns for a mega-wedding — making it one of the more versatile large-capacity venues in the city.

Key Highlights

Around 95–104 rooms and suites across various listings, including opulent suites and mini-suites

Wedding Cost at Fort Rajwada

Wedding costs at Fort Rajwada depend heavily on which spaces are booked and the scale of décor chosen. Some sources cite venue charges of roughly ₹5–10 lakh per event depending on location within the property and décor level, with catering priced separately starting from around ₹2,500 per plate for an elite menu, while other listings quote vegetarian and non-vegetarian plates starting at ₹4,500 and ₹5,500 respectively.

This estimate generally includes:

Venue rental for the chosen ceremony/reception space
Base catering package (billed per plate)
Standard décor and seating setup
Power backup and basic event logistics

Costs vary depending on:

Which venue is used — outdoor courtyard, lawn, banquet hall, or poolside
Guest count and number of functions (Mehendi, Sangeet, Baraat, Reception)
Catering menu selection and per-plate pricing tier
Décor scale, entertainment, and logistics requirements

At Weddings and Events by Amitesh, we help you choose the right combination of Fort Rajwada's spaces and packages to fit your guest list and budget, coordinating every function from arrival to reception.
