As the miscellaneous restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic are gone, NRI Couples planning to get married have mostly booked hotels and wedding Venues in the state for November and December.
“The summer wedding season saw things happen. For the upcoming winter season of weddings, we are getting good bookings. After a gap of two years, NRIs Rajasthanis and NRIs are ready for destination weddings here, and they want to. Let it be grand.
Mohit Sand, a wedding manager in Jaipur, said, “They want it to be three days long, from mehendi, women’s sangeet to the main wedding.”

Neeraj Vashne, a wedding manager in Delhi, said that NRIs preferred Jaipur, Bharatpur, Sawai Madhopur, Udaipur and Jodhpur for destination winter weddings. “In traveling, boarding, lodging and a three-day ceremony to wedding venues from abroad, they are willing to spend Rs 1 to 3 crore for a wedding in Rajasthan,” said Vashne.

Daljit Arora, a leading food caterer in North India, has already started hiring more cooks and service staff for these weddings. Arora said, “The burden is on us, but it is a welcome change. There is a high demand for various Indian cuisines including Rajasthani food for various celebrations, for NRI weddings.”
