5 Iconic Indian Forts That Were Made for Saying “I Do”
There’s something undeniably magical about getting married where history still echoes in the walls, where every stone tells a story, and where the setting itself feels like a character in your love story. At Occasions & Events, we’ve curated countless destination weddings across India’s most breathtaking forts—and here are five that continue to steal the spotlight.
- Neemrana Fort Palace – Rajasthan
Perched on a hill and layered like a royal dream, Neemrana is a 15th-century fort that offers more than just views. It’s romance steeped in history—with multiple levels, sprawling courtyards, and an unmistakable sense of grandeur. Perfect for sunset pheras or royal-themed receptions, this venue blends old-world charm with modern hospitality.
Why We Love It:
Multi-level terraces, breathtaking aerial shots, and heritage suites that transport your guests back in time.
- Mehrangarh Fort – Jodhpur
Rising dramatically above the Blue City, Mehrangarh isn’t just iconic—it’s legendary. Though access is exclusive and limited, it makes for one of the most cinematic wedding venues in India. Imagine a sangeet night under centuries-old ramparts or a grand entrance through its majestic gates.
Why We Love It:
Unparalleled scale, cultural depth, and that unmistakable royal energy.
- Khimsar Fort – Near Jodhpur
For couples who want luxury and serenity, Khimsar Fort is a hidden gem. Surrounded by sand dunes and silence, this 16th-century fort offers a more private take on royalty. Its lawns and courtyards are ideal for intimate ceremonies and starlit dinners.
Why We Love It:
It’s remote, peaceful, and incredibly photogenic—perfect for a three-day wedding escape.
- Rambagh Palace – Jaipur
Originally a royal residence, Rambagh is less “fortress” and more “living palace.” It’s for couples who want their wedding to feel like a page from a Mughal miniature painting—every archway, corridor, and courtyard is built for elegance. The Taj group’s management ensures flawless service.
