Curated Wedding Experiences by Weddings and Events by Amitesh
Samode Palace, Chomu rises from the rugged Aravalli hills like a jewel carved from sandstone and time. Built nearly five centuries ago as the royal residence of the Samode nobility, this magnificent heritage fortress is now one of Rajasthan's most celebrated luxury palace hotels — and a perennial award-winner recognized by the MICHELIN Guide for its extraordinary hospitality and architectural splendor.
At Weddings and Events by Amitesh, we specialize in transforming this extraordinary Samode Palace, Chomu estate into the most magical wedding destination for couples who refuse to compromise on heritage, luxury, or intimacy. Whether you envision a royal Sangeet beneath the stars on the grand terrace, a sacred Phera ceremony in the fresco-laden Durbar Hall, or a mehendi celebration in the lush palace gardens, we craft every moment with the precision and poetry your love story deserves.
What makes Samode Palace, Chomu unlike any other wedding venue in India is its extraordinary authenticity. This is not a reconstructed heritage property or a modern hotel with palace aesthetics — it is a genuine 475-year-old royal fortress where the Samode noble family once held court, where royal processions once climbed the hill, and where the architecture itself tells stories of Rajput valor and Mughal artistry.
The palace is a perennial award-winner, consistently ranked among the finest heritage hotels in the world. The MICHELIN Guide celebrates it as a place where "Indian royal fantasies" come alive — where even modern additions adhere to the extravagant, unapologetic opulence of the original. From the moment your guests ascend the winding road through the Aravalli hills and catch their first glimpse of the palace ramparts, they understand: this is not just a wedding. This is a coronation of love.
Located in the village of Samode, Tehsil Chomu, just an hour's drive from the Pink City of Jaipur, Samode Palace, Chomu offers the perfect balance of accessibility and seclusion. Set 25.9 miles from Hawa Mahal and 25.1 miles from M.I. Road, the palace occupies a commanding position amid rocky hills and desert landscapes — a remote, romantic sanctuary where your wedding party becomes the only world that matters.
For couples exploring premium wedding venues in Jaipur, Samode Palace, Chomu consistently emerges as the top choice for those seeking heritage character, exclusivity, and an atmosphere so magical it feels borrowed from a dream. The property's 4.5-star guest rating across over 1,100 verified reviews is a testament to its unwavering commitment to excellence — and to the unforgettable experiences it creates for every celebration.
The architecture of Samode Palace, Chomu is a masterclass in Rajput-Mughal fusion design. The palace walls are adorned with frescoes that have been painted and repainted over 475 years — delicate floral motifs, royal processions, mythological scenes, and geometric patterns that seem to shift and shimmer as the desert light moves across them. These are not reproductions. These are original artworks that have witnessed the rise and fall of empires, and now they bear witness to your love story.
The crown jewel of the palace is the Sheesh Mahal — the Mirror Palace — where thousands of hand-cut glass pieces are embedded into walls and ceilings to create a galaxy of reflected light. For a wedding Sangeet or an intimate cocktail evening, there is no more breathtaking setting in all of Rajasthan. When candles are lit and music fills the hall, the Sheesh Mahal becomes a universe of stars, and every guest feels like royalty.
Samode Palace, Chomu offers an extraordinary variety of indoor and outdoor event spaces, each with its own character, capacity, and ceremonial purpose. From intimate rituals for 30 guests to grand receptions for 200, every space can be transformed to reflect your vision.
