I’ve attended two weddings at the Udaipur Marriott in the last three years, and every time someone asks “what exactly do you get when you book there?”, the answer is never simple because Marriott doesn’t have one fixed “package” like some palace hotels. Instead, they give you a base offer and then everything gets customised. Still, after talking to couples and seeing the final bills, there are some things that almost always come standard once you cross a certain spend level.

Why Luxury Meets Convenience at Marriott Udaipur

Stunning Hotel view

The Marriott is on the eastern side of Lake Fateh Sagar, about 10-15 minutes from the City Palace and 30 minutes from the airport. It’s not on Lake Pichola (so no direct taj-facing views like the Leela or Taj), but from the higher floors and the rooftop you still get a decent lake view and the Aravallis behind. The big advantage is the location – it’s inside the city limits but quiet, and you don’t have the crazy traffic you hit when going to the lake-side palaces in peak season.

The Main Wedding Spaces

They have a huge pillar-less ballroom (around 800-900 seated), a lakeside lawn that takes 1000-1200 floating comfortably, a smaller poolside deck for mehendi or cocktails, and the rooftop (Sky Loft) which is perfect for pheras or a small sangeet with the city lights behind. The lawn is right next to the lake road, so the baraat entry with ghodi or vintage car looks dramatic without blocking traffic for hours.

What Usually Comes in the Base Marriott Udaipur Wedding Offer

Most couples I know who booked in 2024-2025 got something like this once the food and beverage commitment crossed ₹70-90 lakh:

• Complimentary venue rental for one main function (usually the wedding night lawn or ballroom)
• Two complimentary rooms for the couple (one night bridal suite + one night presidential suite)
• 20-30% discount on blocked rooms (rates usually ₹9,000-14,000 + taxes per night after discount)
• Basic mandap décor and stage for pheras (simple floral, nothing heavy)
• Standard sound and basic lighting
• Welcome drinks and valet parking
• Spa credits or a complimentary couple massage

If you go higher on the F&B spend (which most big weddings do), they start throwing in the second venue free, more suites, airport transfers, and sometimes even a cocktail setup.

Food and Beverage – The Biggest Chunk

Marriott only does in-house catering, no outside caterers allowed. Per-plate cost for a decent veg/non-veg menu with live counters starts around ₹3,800-5,500 + taxes. Alcohol is through the hotel or licensed vendors only, and that’s where the bill climbs fast. A lot of families negotiate unlimited house brands for a flat corkage instead of per-bottle.

The Real Numbers People Are Paying – Marriott Udaipur Wedding in 2025

From the weddings I’ve seen recently, a proper two- or three-day Marriott Udaipur wedding with 300-500 guests staying on property ends up between ₹1.2 crore and ₹2.5 crore all-in, depending on how heavy the décor and entertainment is. A simpler one-night wedding + reception with most guests staying off-site comes down to ₹70 lakh–₹1.2 crore. Peak winter weekends (Dec-Jan) are at the top of the range; November or February weekdays can save 15-25% on venue charges.

Why Almost Every Couple Still Brings a Wedding Planner in Udaipur

Even though the Marriott events team is pretty good, no one does it alone. A local wedding planner in Udaipur already has the dates blocked, knows exactly how many extra tents you can squeeze on the lawn when the guest list jumps from 400 to 650, and has the contacts for the vintage cars, folk dancers, and firework guys who are approved by the hotel. They’ll also negotiate the room rates harder and handle the last-minute chaos when the pandit changes the muhurat by two hours.

The Small Details That Make or Break the Day

Power backup is solid (no flickering lights during pheras), parking is underground and huge, and the staff has done enough big weddings now to know the drill. The bridal suite has a massive dressing area with good natural light for getting-ready photos. One thing to remember – the lake-side lawn can get windy in the evenings, so heavy mandaps need proper anchoring.

Conclusion

The Marriott Udaipur wedding package isn’t a rigid brochure thing; it’s more of a starting point that gets shaped by how much you’re willing to spend on food and rooms. What you really get is a modern five-star property that runs smoothly, has big enough spaces for proper Rajasthani-scale weddings, and doesn’t come with the headache of maintaining a 200-year-old palace. If you want the Lake City vibe without being stuck in the old-city traffic and still want everything to work on the day, it’s a combination that’s hard to beat for a lot of families.
