Elite Venue Partner
Why plan Umaid Bhawan Palace through Elite?
One accountable planning office — venue, rooms, decor, vendors and guest logistics under a single flat-fee plan, so an ultra-prestige Marwar palace wedding stays calm, clear and exactly as intended.
Venue-fit check first
Before you commit, we confirm whether Umaid Bhawan truly fits your guest count, functions, budget and the residential-wing experience you want — its strength is marquee, prestige luxury, not the largest on-property room blocks.
Best available venue rates
We request and compare the venue's best available rates and buyout / room-block terms for your dates — no inflated middleman pricing, subject to the venue's confirmation.
Room-block & buyout strategy
With limited residential keys, the block is decisive. We help structure and negotiate it so close family stays in the palace wing and overflow at vetted nearby Jodhpur palaces is handled cleanly.
Palace-access clarity
Part of Umaid Bhawan remains the Maharaja's residence and a museum, so movement is managed. We confirm which lawns and halls are contracted and plan guest flow around it before you lock dates.
Guest logistics handled
Airport transfers from Jodhpur (JDH) just minutes away, rooming lists, welcome desk, elderly-guest care and inter-function movement across the ~26-acre estate, from day one.
Flat-fee, limited weddings
Our planning fee stays separate from vendor billing, and we take a limited number of weddings each month for senior attention.
