Oberoi Udaipur Wedding: A Guide to Udaipur's Royal Lakeside Venue Blog
An Oberoi Udaipur wedding is regularly named the top destination wedding property in India, and the lake views are only part of the reason. Here is a look at the leading hotels in Udaipur for weddings, where couples can enjoy both royal heritage and visual beauty. The Oberoi Udaivilas suits the most typical brief: 150–250 guests, everyone staying on one property, with lake views and large lawns. It has more rooms and bigger event spaces than most palaces in Udaipur. The hotel stands right on the banks of Lake Pichola, the famous waterbody of Udaipur, the "City of Lakes." Guests can arrive by a scenic boat transfer across the lake and later enjoy romantic shikara rides. The estate covers roughly 30–50 acres, built on what were once the 200-year-old hunting grounds of the Maharana of Mewar. About 40% of it is set aside as a wildlife sanctuary home to peacocks, and other sources say deer and wild boar live there too. The result is landscaped gardens, courtyards, fountains and reflection pools beside real pockets of wilderness, all on the property. The architecture is grand: domed buildings in Mewar-inspired Rajasthani style, with linked domes and walkways meant to echo the royal palaces of Rajasthan. The hotel is about 27 km from Maharana Pratap Airport, a scenic drive of roughly 45 minutes, and around 5 miles from Udaipur Railway Station. Event spaces include a Crescent garden with room for roughly 300 guests, a poolside area for around 250 guests, and front lawns that hold about 450 guests, along with a forecourt and a promenade.

The outdoor venues can take up to 350 guests, while the indoor spaces are comparatively smaller. The most popular indoor venues are Chandramahal 1 and 2, each holding around 25 seated or 50 standing guests, and together forming the main indoor banquet hall. Combined as the full Chandra Mahal, the space seats about 80, with a floating capacity of up to 110. It is elegant and enclosed, so it is generally used for smaller, more intimate functions or as a rainy-day backup. The front lawn is the largest outdoor venue, with room for roughly 400 seated or 800 standing guests. Many weddings hold the pheras here, with Lake Pichola as the backdrop.
Buyout Costs This is the figure most couples really want, so here it is plainly. For a wedding of 150–200 guests with a full hotel buyout, covering both stay and catering, a two-day celebration typically costs ₹2.5 to 3.5 crore or more, depending on the guest count. Catering starts at around ₹10,000–12,000 per plate, depending on the menu. For most couples planning a destination wedding of 150–250 guests, the Oberoi Udaivilas remains the strongest all-round choice in Udaipur. Its room inventory, lawn capacity and lakeside setting give you more flexibility than most rival properties. That said, the "best" venue ultimately depends on your guest count and budget.
