If you’re chalking up that list, take a cue from these iconic wedding destinations that have hosted some of Bollywood and Hollywood’s most famous personalities.

Celebrity-Approved Wedding Destinations For The Upcoming Wedding Season

Umaid Bhawan Palace, Jodhpur

When we talk about destination wedding destinations in India, Rajasthan is probably the first to come to mind. From Jaipur to Udaipur, the places offer every bit a royal setting for your perfect palace wedding. One of the most iconic of these venues, Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur, became the centre of global attention when Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas tied the knot there in 2018. With its magnificent sandstone architecture, sprawling gardens and royal heritage, the palace fits beautifully into the big fat Indian wedding that spans lavishly across several days and feels straight out of a fairytale.

Suryagarh, Jaisalmer

This gem, also from the North-West, blends desert charm with the kind of timeless luxury that you’d want for your big day. Set against the golden sands of Rajasthan, the stunning Suryagarh in Jaisalmer became a popular spot for weddings after it hosted the much-loved wedding of Bollywood elites Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra. Its majestic courtyards and breathtaking sunset views create the perfect setting for a grand celebration. 

Six Senses Fort Barwara, Sawai Madhopur

A lavish and former 14th-century fort that is now a 48-suite property, Six Senses Fort Barwara, Sawai Madhopur, is for couples who want a touch of regal charm. This beautifully restored place has the perfect mix of old-world charm, luxury and privacy. It was the choice for Bollywood stars Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal when they got married here in 2021, and it’s easy to see why. It makes your vision for your dream royal wedding come to life with its stunning architecture. Its peaceful setting and vibe makes up for the perfect backdrop for a grand wedding that is full of character.

Taj Falaknuma Palace, Hyderabad

How about being royally welcomed into your venue via a horse-drawn carriage? That and more ups the charm at the Taj Falaknuma Palace, Hyderabad, a picture-perfect venue for couples looking to get married in a palace setting. Oozing old-school charm, this used to be the former home of the Nizam and is famous for its luxurious interiors - gilded corridors, opulent gardens, massive staircases and exceptional service. Singer Neeti Mohan tied the knot with actor Nihaar Pandya here, in a wedding that their family and friends are not likely to forget.

Lake Como, Italy

Now let’s talk internationally. Royal weddings are a grab not just for palatial architecture, but also because of the vibe that the destination packs. And Lake Como in Italy, with its crystal-clear waters, charming villas and dramatic Alpine backdrop, remains one of the world’s most romantic and sought-after wedding destinations. What garnered a huge buzz for it as a couple's destination for their wedding is when Bollywood stars Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh held their intimate multi-day wedding festivities there. 

Tuscany, Italy

Lake Como isn’t the only wedding destination in Italy that has witnessed a celebrity couple beginning a new chapter in their life. Tuscany, with its rolling vineyards, historic estates and postcard-worthy countryside views, has grown to become a top choice for destination weddings. And it got the nod from celebrity couple Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli, who tied the knot in Tuscany’s enchanting Italian region in 2017. The scenic place makes for the perfect backdrop for an intimate, relaxed multi-day celebration with its serenity, charm and exceptional cuisine.
