Shiv Niwas Palace Udaipur - HRH royal palace wedding venue inside City Palace complex

Planning your Shiv Niwas Palace Udaipur wedding

Ask which spaces are included at Shiv Niwas and which would require a separate event booking. If your programme uses another palace venue, map the route, access times and supplier responsibilities before approving the itinerary.

Guest stay & wedding logistics

Keep guest accommodation, preparation rooms and the main celebration venue as separate entries in the proposal. Confirm how guests and luggage reach the palace and where transfers can collect the group.

Hotel reference: Official property information. Confirm available rooms, event layouts and terms in your dated proposal.

Expert Insights & FAQs

Q: Does a Shiv Niwas Palace room booking include a City Palace wedding venue?

Do not assume event access is included with accommodation. Ask for the exact spaces, dates and permitted hours in writing, and obtain a separate confirmed proposal for any additional venue in the palace complex.

Q: What affects the wedding cost at Shiv Niwas Palace Udaipur?

The main inputs are your room mix and nights, guest count for each meal, event spaces and production. The room figures on this page are planning estimates, not a confirmed all-inclusive package. Request a dated proposal with taxes, catering, decor and transfers itemised.

Q: How do we enquire about a wedding at Shiv Niwas Palace Udaipur?

Share preferred dates and alternatives, overnight guests, rooms needed and attendance at each function. Request the available spaces, seating plans and a written room-and-event proposal. Confirm inclusions, payment and cancellation terms before committing; an enquiry does not reserve dates.
