The setting
“Hang on — that's the actual venue?”
Yes. We got that a lot.Umaid Palace
Dausa, RajasthanYes, an actual palace. No, we're not over it either.
Set beside a quiet lake and surrounded by gardens, Umaid Palace has an old-world character that feels almost removed from everything around it. Grand without feeling overwhelming, peaceful without feeling too formal — it felt like the right setting for everything we have planned.
Where you'll sleepNobody's going
Discover your stay
Nobody's going
anywhere
Everyone is on-site, which quietly solves most problems: no cabs to book, no goodbyes at midnight, and nobody doing arithmetic about how to get back.
01
Wake up where you danced
The journey home is a staircase.
02
Everyone under one roof
Cousins, college friends, and that one uncle. All of them.
03
Breakfast by the lake
For the mornings you'd rather not discuss.
Fair warning
Come for the wedding.
Stay for the party.
Good food. Loud music. Questionable dance moves. Very good company.
The dance floor closes when the last person gives up. Historically, that takes a while.
One thing left
Are you in?
There are three acceptable answers: yes, obviously yes, and a decision you'll be quietly explaining at every family function for the next decade.
Somewhere, an alarmingly organised aunt is already printing name cards. Be on one.
Takes ninety seconds. The guilt, should you skip it, lasts considerably longer.
23–24.02.2027Rajasthan
Save the date. Save your voice.
You'll need it for the singing, the shouting, and explaining to three separate relatives exactly how you know us.
See you on the dance floor — Charu & Alok
