Getting married in a palace sounds like something out of a film, but at Taj Amer in Jaipur it’s a very real (and very popular) option. Spread across 14 acres just off the Jaipur–Delhi highway, this sandstone beauty looks like it was lifted straight from the 17th century; because most of it actually was. Here’s a straightforward, no-fluff breakdown of what a wedding here actually costs in 2025–2026, based on current rates shared directly by couples, planners and the hotel’s banquet team.

Why Choose Taj Amer Jaipur for Wedding

Venue Options and Basic Rental Charges

Taj Amer has five main wedding spaces:

• Jahangir Mahal Lawn (the big front lawn): ₹18–22 lakh + taxes for a full-day buyout

• Mughal Garden (smaller, more intimate): ₹10–14 lakh + taxes

• Diwan-e-Aam (indoor durbar hall with mirror work): ₹12–15 lakh + taxes

• Surya Mahal (glass-walled banquet hall for 400–500 guests): ₹8–10 lakh + taxes

• Poolside + Sheesh Mahal terrace (cocktail or sangeet nights): ₹6–8 lakh + taxes

Most families book two or three venues across 2–3 days, so venue rental alone usually lands between ₹35 lakh and ₹65 lakh before taxes.

Food and Beverage Minimums

Taj operates on an F&B spend commitment rather than per-plate pricing. Current 2025–2026 figures:

• Lunch or high tea: ₹5,500–₹7,500 + taxes per person

• Dinner (vegetarian ₹5,500, non-veg ₹6,500–7,500)

• Dinner: ₹7,500–₹11,000 + taxes per person

• (live counters, molecular bars and premium liquor packages push this higher)

For a 300-guest wedding with welcome lunch, cocktail night and main wedding dinner, the F&B bill typically crosses ₹65–90 lakh. Add late-night snacks and next-morning brunch and you’re easily looking at ₹1–1.3 crore just on food and drinks.

Rooms and Stay

The hotel has 157 rooms and suites. A full buyout (mandatory for weddings over 200 guests) currently starts at ₹22,000 + taxes for deluxe rooms and goes up to ₹3.5 lakh per night for the Taj Mahal Suite. Average room rate across a 3-night wedding block comes to roughly ₹35,000–₹40,000 per room per night after negotiation. For 120–130 rooms over three nights, that’s another ₹1.3–1.6 crore.

Décor, Lighting and Mandap

Taj has an approved vendor panel, but you’re free to bring your own planners. Typical décor spends:

• Basic floral mandap + stage: ₹12–18 lakh

• Heavy floral (orchids flown in, hanging installations): ₹35–70 lakh

• Full-venue takeover with chandeliers, draping, props: ₹80 lakh–₹1.8 crore

Most mid-to-high-end weddings here fall in the ₹40–80 lakh décor range.

Other Mandatory Costs

• Electricity & generator backup: ₹4–7 lakh

• Valet, security, fire tender on standby: ₹3–4 lakh

• Government entertainment tax & local permissions: ₹2–3 lakh

• Artist management (for folk troupes, dhol walas, etc.): ₹5–12 lakh

Total Taj Amer Jaipur Wedding Cost (Realistic 2025–2026 Range)

• Intimate wedding (120–150 guests, 2 functions): ₹1.8–2.6 crore

• Standard big-fat Indian wedding (250–350 guests, 3–4 functions): ₹3.2–4.8 crore

• Over-the-top celebration (400+ guests, imported flowers, celebrity performers): ₹6–11 crore

These numbers include 18% GST and 10% service charge on F&B, but exclude outfits, jewellery, photography and invitation printing.

How Couples Bring the Cost Down

Many families now book only one major venue (Jahangir Mahal) and move smaller functions to the sister property IHCL SeleQtions Amer (5 minutes away) to save on venue rental. Others limit the room buyout to two nights instead of three, or keep décor minimal and let the palace architecture do the talking.

At the end of the day, the Taj Amer Jaipur wedding cost is undeniably steep, but the backdrop is equally unmatched. Couples who want that grand, old-world Rajasthani palace vibe without building a set from scratch still end up here; usually with the help of an experienced wedding planner in Jaipur who knows exactly how to negotiate rates, manage the approved-vendor maze and keep the final bill from spiralling completely out of control.
