Most Udaipur weddings happen around the lakes and old palaces. Mementos by ITC Hotels, Ekaaya Udaipur sits somewhere else — up in the Aravali hills, near Eklingji Temple, about 30 minutes outside the city.

That distance is the whole point. Your guests don't stay in a hotel wing; they stay in one of 117 suites and villas spread up a hillside, so most rooms wake up to a valley or lake view instead of a parking lot. Add a honeydew lake and frangipani trees around the lawns, and you get a backdrop most Udaipur wedding albums don't already have.

The property runs 5 restaurants and 3 dedicated wedding venues. The largest, the Frangipani Lawn, holds up to 3,000 guests for your baraat, pheras or reception. And because it's an ITC Hotels property, you get their usual setup behind it — an in-house culinary team and a dedicated events team who run this kind of scale often.

Weddings by Neeraj Kamra has planned weddings at this luxury wedding resort in Udaipur before, so we already know which rooms to block, which menus work for a 500-guest sangeet, and which requests the hotel needs weeks of notice for.
