Top 3 Wedding Planners in Jaipur: An Honest, Detailed Comparison

Choosing a wedding planner in Jaipur is one of the biggest decisions in your whole wedding. The city has hundreds of planners, and almost every one of them calls itself “the best.” Directory pages are full of paid listings, and many “top” lists are written by the planner who sits at number one.

This guide tries to be more useful than that. We tell you who wrote it, how we judged, what each planner is good at, and where each one may not suit you. Weddings and Events by Amitesh published this page, and it is one of the three planners reviewed below. We used the same checks for all three, and we only used facts that you can verify yourself on public pages.

Facts about each planner were checked against their own websites and public listings in October 2026. Prices and team details change, so please confirm the final numbers with each planner in writing.

The Short Answer: Who Are the Top 3 Wedding Planners in Jaipur?

•     Weddings and Events by Amitesh: best for owner-led planning of palace and heritage weddings in Jaipur, with fixed-fee packages published openly.
•     Fiestro Events: best for couples who want a long-running Jaipur company with a wide venue list across Rajasthan and extra services like artists, honeymoon and corporate events.
•     Indian Wedding Planners (IWP): best for high-budget and NRI weddings, including weddings outside India.

None of them is “best” for everyone. The right choice depends on your budget, guest count, dates and how much of the work you want to hand over. The rest of this guide helps you decide.

Who Wrote This Page, and Why You Can Judge It Fairly

This page comes from the team at Weddings and Events by Amitesh, a Jaipur wedding planning company led by Amitesh Fauzdar, who has more than 12 years of hands-on experience in the field. Because we are one of the three planners on the list, you should know our position before you read a single recommendation.

Here is how we tried to stay fair. We set the checks first, then applied them to all three planners. We used only public information for Fiestro Events and IWP, and every source is linked at the end. Where our own company is weaker than the other two, we say so plainly. If you spot a detail that is out of date, please tell us and we will fix it.

Why So Many Couples Pick Jaipur for Their Wedding

Jaipur gives you palaces, forts and heritage hotels in one city, with an airport that connects to Delhi, Mumbai and the Gulf. The comfortable wedding season runs from about October to March, when daytime weather is mild enough for outdoor functions.

The industry around it is large too. In March 2025, the Travel Wedding Show brought more than 70 wedding planners from across India to Anantara Jewel Bagh in Jaipur and, as reported by TravTalk India, led to over 2,000 meetings in two days. That tells you how busy the Jaipur wedding market is, and why choosing carefully matters.

If you are still deciding on a venue, our guide to wedding venues in Jaipur and our palace wedding venue comparison are good places to start.

How We Picked These Three Planners

We looked for planners that a couple can check on their own, without relying on a sales call. These are the six checks we used.

1. A real base and real time in Jaipur

The planner should have an office and a team in the city, and a record of weddings here, not just a phone number and a good Instagram page. Local teams know which venue manager to call, which roads jam during a baraat, and which vendors turn up on time.

2. Named venue experience

Anyone can say “we plan palace weddings.” We looked for planners who name the venues they have actually worked at, because every palace has its own rules about décor, music timings, catering and room blocks.

3. Openness about money

We checked whether the planner publishes a fee, a fee model, or budget ranges. A planner who will not talk about money before you visit the office is a planner you will struggle to compare.

4. Proof from outside their own website

Reviews on third-party platforms and features in wedding publications carry more weight than testimonials on the planner’s own page. We looked for both.

5. Who actually runs your wedding

Some companies put a senior planner on your wedding from the first call to the last dance. Others hand you to a junior team after you sign. We checked what each planner says about this.

6. Range and fit

Some couples want 60 guests in a boutique haveli. Others want 500 guests across three hotels, or a family flying in from Toronto. We checked what size and type of wedding each planner clearly handles.

What we did not use

We did not rank by social media followers, paid “featured vendor” badges or round numbers that cannot be checked. For example, one planner’s About page lists figures such as thousands of annual weddings that read more like platform statistics than a count of its own weddings, so we left them out.

The Top 3 at a Glance

1. Weddings and Events by Amitesh: Best for Hands-On Palace and Heritage Weddings

Who they are

Weddings and Events by Amitesh is a Jaipur-based planning company led by Amitesh Fauzdar. The office is on Sikar Road, Jaipur 302013. Amitesh has more than 12 years of planning experience, and the company states that it has planned 200+ weddings. You can find independent listings on GoodFirms and Dream Wedding Hub, and the company also points to its WedMeGood and WeddingWire profiles.

What they do well

Palace and heritage venues

The company names the venues it works at, which is what you want to see. It states that it has planned more than 50 weddings at Rambagh Palace, and it also lists work at Samode Palace and Samode Bagh, Chomu Palace, Anantara Jewel Bagh, Fairmont Jaipur, ITC Rajputana and The Leela Palace Jaipur. Each venue has its own “how we plan weddings here” page, so you can read how the team handles that specific property before you call.

Prices you can see before you call

Many planners say “contact us for a quote.” Weddings and Events by Amitesh publishes four planning packages: Essential at ₹1.5 to 2.5 lakh, Premium at ₹3 to 5 lakh, Luxury at ₹5 to 8 lakh and Royal at ₹8 to 15 lakh. The company says these planning fees are separate from venue, catering, décor and vendor costs, and that a full all-in budget estimate is shared at the free consultation. A directory profile also describes the fee structure as a fixed fee. You can read the details on the wedding packages page.

Owner-led planning

The company says couples speak directly to Amitesh instead of a sales team, and that 8 to 12 coordinators run the wedding day itself. For many families this is the main reason to choose a company of this size: one person who knows your file and picks up the phone.

Planning for couples who live abroad

The company describes video consultations, live virtual venue tours, a shared budget tracker, a WhatsApp group and help with guest travel letters and payment planning for NRI families. If this is your situation, read the company’s guide to NRI wedding planning in Jaipur.

What to keep in mind

•     The core work is in Jaipur and the rest of Rajasthan (Udaipur, Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, Ranthambore). If you want a wedding outside India, ask directly what the team can handle.
•     Magazine-style features are where the other two planners have a visible edge, since both have Jaipur weddings featured on WeddingSutra. Most of this company’s proof is client reviews and wedding stories on its own site, so ask to speak with past couples.
•     An owner-led company handles fewer weddings at the same time than a very large team. For peak dates between November and February, ask early about availability.

Best for

Pick Weddings and Events by Amitesh if you want:

•     A palace, fort or heritage-hotel wedding in Jaipur for roughly 50 to 300 guests
•     A fixed planning fee you can compare before you meet anyone
•     One senior person you can call directly
•     To read real wedding stories first: see the real wedding stories

2. Fiestro Events: Best for Wide Venue Choice and Extra Event Services

Who they are

Fiestro Events describes itself as a wedding planner and event management company in Jaipur, started in 2013 by Sajjan Gill. The Fiestro Events About page and the company’s profile on Inc42 both carry that story. A WedMeGood listing places the office in Vaishali Nagar, Jaipur, and shows a 4.8 rating from 102 reviews at the time we checked. Ratings change, so look at the live profile.

What they do well

A long venue list

The company’s website lists around 50 hotels and venues in Jaipur and about 28 in Udaipur, and the company says it has planned destination weddings at 160+ venues in India and abroad. If you are open to more than one city, or you have not picked a venue yet, a wide list is useful.

More than weddings

Fiestro’s service list goes beyond weddings. It covers destination weddings outside India, honeymoon planning, MICE events, exhibitions and conferences, social parties, corporate events and celebrity and artist management. For a family that also needs a corporate guest programme, or wants one company for the wedding and the honeymoon, this is a real advantage.

Weddings featured in the press

WeddingSutra has featured several Jaipur weddings planned by Fiestro Events, including a wedding at Jai Mahal Palace, two at Fairmont Jaipur and one at Trident Jaipur. The planner also has a WeddingSutra vendor profile. This kind of outside coverage is useful proof of work.

What to keep in mind

•     Fiestro does not publish a planning fee on its website. A directory profile describes a percentage-of-cost model, so ask for the exact fee structure in writing.
•     With a wide range of services, ask who your dedicated planner will be and how many weddings that person handles on your dates.
•     The company’s website footer shows a 2021 copyright, so confirm current team size, contact numbers and packages with them directly.

Best for

Pick Fiestro Events if you want:

•     To compare many venues across Jaipur, Udaipur and other cities before you decide
•     One company for the wedding, artists and entertainment, and possibly the honeymoon
•     A planner with press-featured Jaipur weddings you can look at before you meet

3. Indian Wedding Planners (IWP): Best for Premium and NRI Weddings

Who they are

Indian Wedding Planners, known as IWP, is a luxury destination wedding company founded by Anant Khandelwal. It works from a Jaipur office at 34 Sangram Colony, C-Scheme, with a second team in Mumbai. The company says it has planned weddings in Jaipur since 2013, and that it has handled 250+ weddings across 13 destinations over 13 years.

What they do well

Deep venue knowledge at the top end

IWP says it plans at 29 palace, fort and resort venues in Jaipur, and it names Rambagh Palace, Samode Palace, Jai Mahal Palace, Fairmont Jaipur, The Leela Palace Jaipur and Alila Fort Bishangarh among them. Each venue has its own page with room counts and capacity, which helps when you are building a shortlist.

Independent recognition

IWP states that WeddingSutra lists it among its Favorites planners and has featured six of its Jaipur weddings, at The Leela Palace, Fairmont, Taj Devi Ratn, Jai Mahal Palace, JW Marriott and the City Palace. You can verify this on WeddingSutra itself.

NRI and international couples

Many of IWP’s Jaipur weddings are for families based in the USA, UK, Canada, the Gulf and Australia. A senior planner runs the wedding remotely using video venue walk-throughs, and the team handles guest travel and hospitality on the ground.

Weddings outside India

IWP also plans weddings abroad, with destination pages for places such as Dubai, Turkey, Qatar, Bali, Thailand and Sri Lanka. If your plan might move from Jaipur to somewhere overseas, having one company for both is convenient.

What to keep in mind

•     IWP’s published budget bands start at about ₹1 crore all-inclusive for 50 to 100 guests. That is a premium range, so it may not match a mid-range budget.
•     A company with offices in two cities and many destinations is worth questioning on one point: ask who your lead planner is and whether that person is based in Jaipur.

Best for

Pick IWP if you want:

•     A premium palace wedding where the all-in budget is ₹1 crore or more
•     A planner experienced with NRI families and long-distance planning
•     One team that can plan in Jaipur and also abroad

Side-by-Side Comparison

This table lines up what each planner says about itself and what outside listings show. “Not published” means we could not find it on a public page, not that it does not exist.

 What a Wedding Planner Costs in Jaipur

Planner pricing in Jaipur is not standard. Two planners can quote very different numbers for what looks like the same job, because the fee model, the scope and the guest count are different. Before you compare any two quotes, compare what each one includes.

The three fee models you will see

Flat fee

You pay a fixed amount for a defined package. It is easy to plan around, and the planner has no reason to push you toward costlier vendors. Weddings and Events by Amitesh uses this model and publishes its packages.

Percentage of the wedding budget

The planner charges a share of your total spend. As a simple example, 10 percent of a ₹1 crore wedding is ₹10 lakh. This can be fair for very complex weddings, but ask how the planner earns money if the budget goes down, and whether you will see vendor quotes directly.

Hybrid or all-inclusive

Some companies give one all-in number that covers venue, rooms, food, décor and planning. IWP publishes budget bands in this style. These bands are not directly comparable with a planning-only fee, because they include the entire wedding.

What the planning fee usually does not cover

•     Venue hire and room costs
•     Catering and bar
•     Décor and flowers (unless the planner’s package includes décor)
•     Photography, videography and entertainment
•     Guest transport and outside hotels
•     Taxes and service charges applied by the venue

Budget ranges the planners publish

These ranges are the planners’ own published estimates. They are based on different assumptions about venue, days and guest count, so use them as a rough guide, not a like-for-like comparison.

For a full guest-by-guest split, see the Jaipur wedding budget guide.

Costs couples forget

Most budget stress comes from items that were never in the first quote. Ask every planner and every venue about these before you sign anything:

•     Service charge on food and beverage, and GST on venue and services. Ask for a quote that shows both.
•     Overtime charges if music or functions run late at night
•     Extra power, generators and sound permissions
•     Overflow hotels if the venue has fewer rooms than your guest list needs
•     Shuttle buses between hotels and the venue
•     Vendor meals and staff gratuities
•     Music licence, fireworks and drone permissions
•     Event insurance for cancellation and damage
•     A premium on last-minute changes to menus, guest count or décor

Best Time to Get Married in Jaipur

Season changes both the weather and the price. This is the general guidance we give couples. Exact venue rates vary, so check each venue for your dates.

 Weekday dates, lunch functions and two-day formats can also lower costs. Our month-by-month guide to the best month for a Jaipur wedding goes deeper.

Which Planner Fits Which Couple?

If your all-in budget is between ₹20 lakh and ₹1 crore

Start with Weddings and Events by Amitesh. The published package fees and budget ranges make it easy to see where you land before you meet anyone. Also speak to Fiestro Events and compare the written quotes.

If you are inviting 300 or more guests across several hotels

Speak to Fiestro Events and IWP, and ask each one to show a past wedding of similar size, along with how they handled shuttles, room blocks and check-ins. Also ask Weddings and Events by Amitesh how it handles large guest lists, because the company says it manages guest counts from 50 to 500.

If your budget is ₹1 crore or more and you want a very polished, premium execution

IWP is built for this range, and it publishes budget bands that start there. Weddings and Events by Amitesh also plans at top palaces, so compare both proposals.

If you live abroad and will plan remotely

IWP and Weddings and Events by Amitesh both describe remote planning for NRI families. Ask each to run a trial video call and a virtual venue tour before you pay a deposit. How they behave in that first call is a good guide to how they will behave later.

If you want a wedding outside India

IWP and Fiestro Events both list weddings outside India. Weddings and Events by Amitesh is mainly a Rajasthan planner, so confirm before you assume it can handle an overseas wedding.

If you want one person to call

Owner-led planning is the main strength of Weddings and Events by Amitesh. Whichever planner you pick, ask for the name and number of the person who will manage your wedding, and meet that person before you sign.

How to Check Any Wedding Planner Yourself in 10 Steps

Do not just trust a list, including this one. Here is a simple process that works for any planner in any city.

1.       Check the address. Visit the office or at least search it on a map. A real planner has a real place and a team that sits there.
2.       Ask for three venue-specific references. If you are marrying at a particular palace, ask for weddings the planner has done at that same palace, not just in the same city.
3.       Call two past couples. Ask what went wrong and how it was fixed. Every wedding has a problem. What matters is how the planner dealt with it.
4.       Read reviews on at least two outside platforms. Look at the recent ones, and read the three-star reviews as well as the five-star ones.
5.       Look for press and magazine features. Check the wedding itself on the publication’s own site, not a screenshot sent by the planner.
6.       Ask for the fee model in writing. Flat fee, percentage or all-inclusive. Ask whether the planner earns any commission from vendors and venues.
7.       Ask for a line-by-line budget. A good planner can show you where each rupee goes. Be careful with a budget that is one big number.
8.       Read the contract slowly. Check cancellation terms, refund rules, payment schedule, what happens if a vendor drops out, and who is on site on each day.
9.       Ask who is on site. Get the names and the number of people on your wedding days, and whether the person you met will be there.
10.   Meet the team in person at least once. Chemistry matters. You will talk to these people every day for months.

Red Flags to Watch For

•     The planner will not tell you the fee model until you pay a booking amount
•     Every venue and vendor they suggest is “only through us”
•     A quote with one big number and no breakdown
•     Promises like “zero problems” or “zero cancellations” with nothing to back them
•     Reviews that all sound alike or were all posted in the same week
•     Pressure to book in 24 hours “because the date will go”
•     No written contract, or a contract that does not name the venue and dates
•     A planner who cannot say who will actually be at your wedding

Questions to Ask in Your First Meeting

•     How many weddings did you plan at my venue in the last two years?
•     Who will be my main planner, and how many weddings will they handle on my dates?
•     How do you charge, and do you receive commission from venues or vendors?
•     What exactly is in the planning fee, and what is not?
•     Can I see a full budget from a past wedding of my size, with names removed?
•     What is your plan if it rains on an outdoor function?
•     How do you handle guests arriving at different times from different cities?
•     How many coordinators will be on site, and on which days?
•     What happens if a vendor cancels at the last minute?
•     Do I choose my own vendors, or only your list?
•     What is your refund and cancellation policy?
•     How often will you update me, and in what format?
•     Can you arrange a call with a couple you planned for last season?
•     Which dates do you already have booked near mine?
•     What would you change in my plan to save money?

Common Mistakes Couples Make When Hiring a Planner in Jaipur

Choosing on price alone

The cheapest quote often leaves out items that appear later. Compare scope first, then price.

Booking the venue before the planner

A good planner knows how to negotiate room blocks and rates. Bring the planner in early, so you do not sign a venue contract that works against you.

Ignoring peak-date risk

Many couples fall in love with a date that is already full at the best venues. Keep a few backup dates, and ask the planner what is open.

Not checking guest logistics

Beautiful décor cannot fix a guest who waits two hours at the airport. Ask exactly how arrivals, shuttles and room check-ins will work.

Leaving rain, heat and cold off the plan

Jaipur evenings in December and January can be cold, and sudden rain can hit outside the winter season. A good planner has a backup layout for each outdoor function.

Skipping the contract details

Check refund terms and what happens if the date has to change. This is much easier to settle before the first payment than after.
