To start with, location is everything. India boasts some of the grandest wedding destinations in Rajasthan, yet every destination has a different feeling, and thus a different cost. This is a brief outline on how real vendors see it:

Jaipur: The city has the most convenient, cheap heritage facilities, and lively markets.

Udaipur: Romance on the lake shores, and the palaces of the royalties, a bit higher end.

Jodhpur: Blue city beauty, sand stone forts, less number of people.

Pushkar: Off beat, spiritual, low-cost, and superb destination to hold small weddings.

If you have a tight budget, consider Pushkar and Jaipur as your choices of having a budget-friendly wedding in Rajasthan.

Set a Realistic Guest List (And Stick with it!)

It is not possible to invite the entire colony. Sorry, aunty.

In order to have a royal wedding in Rajasthan under 20 lakhs, you ought to have no more than 150 guests in mind. That is the sweet spot where you can negotiate with rooms, food, and logistics without going broke.

Remember the less guests, the more luxurious the rest may be. It would be more decoration, more elaborate food and an excellent photographer.

Travel and Accommodation Hacks

Accommodation is where you can save a lot. Choose boutique heritage hotels over the 5-stars luxury brands. Or better yet, reserve whole havelis or guest houses for the family.

Avoid having fake listings by using platforms with verified reviews such as Booking.com or consult local planners. For guests, book 2-3 nearby budget hotels and arrange pickups. Believe us, no one will remember about the room, everyone will remember about the food.

In addition, travel smart. Rajasthan has excellent road and and train connectivity, and thus large groups need not spend on expensive flights.

Is it Possible to Hire a Wedding Planner Within This Budget?

Short answer Yes, and you must.

There are a good number of professional wedding planners (such as The Prince Group of Events in Jaipur which have handled weddings since 2013 in different budgets), who can give customized wedding packages under 20 lakhs. They help you:

• Negotiate better venue rates: Get local supplier discounts
• No surprises (and hidden expenses): Stick to your budget like a boss
• Make sure event implemented in time, and through a legal contract
• Offer backup options in case of rain, delays, or vendor issues

The thought of hiring a planner does not imply increasing the amount of money, but spending more wisely and being sure that everything will be all right.

Decor, Food & Entertainment: Keep It Classy, Not Pricey

No more imported orchids and 20 foot chandeliers. With the use of marigold, fairy lights, brass elements, and colorful curtains, you can make decor as good as on Pinterest.

Choose local Rajasthani food and a couple of multi-cuisine counters, against a 30-items buffet. It is delicious, ethnic and affordable. Request tasting sessions in order to guarantee quality.

For entertainment, consider folk dancers, local musicians, and hire a solid DJ. It is cheaper and, by far, more enjoyable than importing an entire band from Mumbai.

Checklist of Must-Have Vendor Contracts

Before you sign anything (or anyone) ensure that your vendor agreements include such clauses as:

Venue Agreement: Let it be clear that there is a mentioned rental fees, security deposit, what is and what is not included (chairs, lights, rooms) and a refund or cancellation policy.

Decor & Florals: Obtain a breakdown of all items to be used in the decor and set up and removal schedule.

Catering Contract: State specific menu, the cost of each plate, number of guests served, the time of meals and any extra expenses (servers, cutlery and GST).

Makeup Artist Terms: Clarify, availability to do touch-ups, number of looks, whether you need to present a trial session, and cancellation/reschedule policy.

Photography Agreement: Clarify how many hours the shoot will last, how many people are in the team, how we will accept the ultimate deadline of the delivery, how many photos will be edited, albums (or not) and pre and post wedding shoot (if any).
