Are you planning on getting married in Jaipur? You have chosen an amazing city! Jaipur (the Pink City) is filled with culture and a variety of beautiful architecturally designed buildings that make this an ideal location for couples to tie the knot in style. One major aspect of your destination wedding that most couples fail to consider is their guests' comfort level when visiting Jaipur for the wedding. Your family and friends will be travelling across the country or around the world to celebrate your wedding, so it is important that they be comfortable, as their level of comfort can affect whether or not the wedding is successful. You will find so many options available to you in regard to accommodations, including 5-star palace hotels, but it can be very difficult to find your way through all of the many options that are available. That's why we are here to provide you with guest accommodation tips for Jaipur Destination weddings.
Book Early and Diversify Options
During peak wedding season in Jaipur, there will be many tourists. You should book your accommodations at least 4 to 6 months in advance so you can get the best price and availability. Provide as many different types of accommodations as possible — ie. luxury hotels, midrange hotels, and budget hotels — to cover the preferences/budgets of all your guests.
Choose Strategic Locations
Choose hotels that are near your wedding location. The Hawa Mahal and the City Palace both offer easy access to other area attractions, and they are both very easily accessible. You will also be helping your guests by not having to travel very far to get to their hotels.
Negotiate Group Rates
You should contact hotels individually to negotiate group discounts for your wedding guests. Most hotels will have discounted rates for groups; thus, making it possible to save a lot of money for your guests when making their final reservation. You could also ask for a block of rooms and some flexibility on cancellations.
Provide a Welcome Kit
Create customized kits for welcoming guests that will include local street maps, places to eat, spas, & cultural sites. This thoughtful gesture will help guests to find their way around town and make the most of their time in the area.
Arrange Transportation
Organizing transportation for the attendees of your event from their hotel and/or local attractions to your event venue will help take away any transportation related stress for those who are attending so they may enjoy themselves without having to worry about how to get there.
Share Pre-Arrival Information
Advance your detailed documented accommodation confirmation with check in procedures, wifi details and local emergency numbers. Provide weather reports, cultural customs and clothing for certain events before arriving.
Ensure Amenities Quality
Find out whether the hotels offer adequate cooling systems, hot water, and quality dining facilities. Given Jaipur's warm climate, air-conditioning is a necessity in most hotels, especially in summer months.
A positive experience for guests is an important part of planning the guest accommodations for your destination wedding. Creating a comfortable atmosphere is vital to ensuring that your guests have a fantastic experience at your wedding. You may work alone to coordinate arrangements or work with a wedding planner; regardless of how you choose to do it, the comfort of your guests should be a priority, because a comfortable atmosphere will create long-lasting memories.

FAQs
When Should I Book My Accommodation?
The moment you get your wedding invitation, make sure to get a hotel in Jaipur (for heavy wedding season). Ideally, this should happen in 2-3 weeks after receiving your wedding invitation. If you try and get a hotel closer to the event, you may only be able to find limited accommodation options and higher prices. Tip: Find out if the couple is reserving a block of rooms at a certain hotel. This way, you can ensure you'll have a room and book your room early.
What's the Best Area to Stay In?
Venue is important! If you're looking to get married in the City Palace area of Jaipur and want to be as close as possible, book somewhere nearby. If you're going to get married in the south part of Jaipur, hotels are best found near Malviya Nagar and C-Scheme. Generally, the bride and groom offer suggestions for where to stay. There are a lot of true to life experiences available when you stay downtown in Jaipur, and modern conveniences located further out on Tonk Road. Ask your wedding planner if he or she can tell you where to stay!
How Much Should I Budget for Accommodation?
Hotels can range in price depending on your preference with a budget of ₹3000 to ₹15000 or beyond per night. Budget hotels are typically in the ₹3000 to ₹5000 range and are clean and comfortable; mid-range hotels provide great amenities and value for money at ₹6000 to ₹10000; luxury hotels with upscale accommodations start from ₹12000+ per night. You may wish to negotiate a discounted group rate if you're travelling as part of a couple; some hotels provide 20-30% off for guests attending weddings and may offer discounts to the wedding party.
Are Hotels Safe and Reliable?
Jaipur's long-standing hotels generally uphold high levels of sanitation and safety. Stick with reputable hotels recommended by the Couple. The city itself is generally safe for tourists. As with travel to any city, you should always keep your valuables secure and take general precautions.
What Should I Pack for Jaipur?
Bring clothes to suit the hot summer (March to May) climate. Bring a light jacket for evening wedding ceremonies held outside during cooler winter (October- February). Don't forget to bring sunblock, sunglasses and a comfortable pair of shoes for walking. When attending a wedding, pack traditional clothes like lehenga, saree or formal wear. Be sure to bring your personal medications, as finding your particular brand in India may be difficult.
