Want a Palace Style Wedding But Under 20 Lakhs? Check Out These Wedding Venues in Alwar

Everyone wants a fairytale palace wedding. Not everyone wants a fairytale-sized bill to go with it. Alwar solves that problem better than almost any other city in Rajasthan. Just two hours from Jaipur and close to Delhi, Alwar has been quietly building a reputation for heritage weddings that don't cost heritage prices. Here are the wedding venues in Alwar worth shortlisting if palace vibes and a 20 lakh budget both matter to you.

Fort Dadhikar

The best part about this pick is that it's the most under-the-radar venue on this list. It is located in the midst of the Aravallis and is over a thousand years old. Fort Dadhikar is locally known as one of the cheaper options for visiting the heritage fort in the region and boasts 18 rooms with traditional Rajasthani architecture all over. This one offers all three if rustic, forested and truly quiet is your vibe, within your budget.

Ram Bihari Palace

Often described as "a fort within budget," Ram Bihari Palace is built for intimate weddings that still want a proper royal backdrop. It sits near Sariska, overlooking a lake, which gives you a built-in photo backdrop most venues charge extra to fake. It's a strong option if your guest list is on the smaller side and you'd rather spend saved money on decor or catering upgrades.

Hill Fort Kesroli

Genuine Rajput-era stone fort, Hill Fort Kesroli is built for small to medium gatherings rather than 500-guest spectacles. That's exactly why it fits a tighter budget. Vintage stonework, compact courtyards, and a sense of history in every wall make this feel far grander than its price tag suggests.

Om Legacy Palace

Om Legacy Palace can host around 300 guests, with vegetarian plates starting near Rs. 600 and non-vegetarian around Rs. 800, and venue charges from roughly Rs. 2,00,000 upward. Run the math on your guest count and you'll likely land well inside a 20 lakh budget, even after decor and photography.

Sariska Palace

Right in the heart of Alwar, Sariska Palace is positioned as an affordable option without giving up the palace aesthetic. It's convenient for guests who don't want a long drive out of the city, with an in-house restaurant that simplifies catering logistics.

How to Actually Stay Under 20 Lakhs

• The majority of these affordable venues are designed for accommodating 150 to 300 people. Even if you whittle your guest list down a few, there are more catering and decor possibilities in the same price range.

• October to March is the peak season of marriage in Rajasthan. The difference between the price of a November weekday and the price of a December Saturday at the same venue will be noticeable.

• Venues quoting Rs. 2,00,000 with catering included are not the same with those that quote the same number for space only. Get a detailed breakdown.

• After you lock the venue cost, you will know how much you have for decor, photographer and mehendi/sangeet.

Alwar proves you don't need a Jaipur-sized budget to get a Jaipur-sized "wow" from your guests. Out of these shortlist two or three that will accommodate your guests, and visit before committing to a final agreement.
