Elite Venue Partner
Why plan Taj Lake Palace through Elite?
One accountable planning office — venue, island buyout, boat logistics, decor, vendors and guest movement under a single flat-fee plan, so a floating-palace wedding stays calm, private and precisely timed.
Venue-fit check first
Before you commit, we confirm whether Taj Lake Palace truly fits your guest count, functions and the intimate island experience — and whether the buyout works for your dates.
Best available venue rates
We request and compare the venue's best available rates and buyout terms for your dates — no inflated middleman pricing, subject to the venue's confirmation.
Boat & jetty logistics
Private-launch scheduling from the City Palace jetty, arrival sequencing, baggage and a clear wind / weather contingency — planned before you lock dates.
Island capacity & flow
We design pheras, sangeet and reception within the island's intimate caps so every function feels grand, never crowded.
Heritage permissions handled
Decor, sound limits, lighting and any fireworks-over-lake rules cleared with the palace and local authorities in advance.
Flat-fee, limited weddings
Our planning fee stays separate from vendor billing, and we take a limited number of weddings each month for senior, hands-on attention.
