Destination weddings near Delhi offer the grandeur of a faraway celebration without the logistical complexity of flying hundreds of guests to a remote location. The appeal is simple: couples want the magic of a multi-day, immersive wedding experience with curated settings, on-site accommodation, and a sense of escape, but they also want convenience for their guest list, most of whom are based in Delhi NCR. Within a 2-to-4-hour drive from the capital, Tivoli Hospitality Group operates three distinct destination-worthy properties, each with its own character, capacity range, and wedding personality.
Tivoli Heritage Palace in Kanhawas, Rewari sits on the Delhi-Jaipur corridor (NH48), roughly 90 km from Delhi. With its sprawling palace architecture, royal courtyards, heritage suites, and manicured lawns, it delivers an authentic Rajputana destination experience. It is the top pick for families seeking a multi-day residential wedding with 300-1,000+ guests in a setting that photographs like a Rajasthan fort but is only a two-hour drive from Gurugram.
Tivoli Royal Palace in Faridabad brings palace grandeur to the Delhi NCR border, just 30-40 minutes from South Delhi. Its lavish indoor banquet halls and outdoor lawns handle weddings of 200-800 guests comfortably. For families who want a destination-style celebration but need proximity for elderly relatives or weekday logistics, Royal Palace offers the perfect compromise: royal aesthetics without the highway drive.
Wedcation by Tivoli in Ambala, Haryana introduces a resort-and-spa format to the destination wedding landscape. Located roughly 3.5-4 hours from Delhi on NH44, Wedcation offers contemporary rooms, a pool-side ceremony area, landscaped gardens, and full resort amenities. It is ideal for couples who envision a relaxed, two-or-three-day celebration with 150-500 guests in a resort setting rather than a palace one.
Each property addresses a different destination wedding aesthetic: heritage palace, urban royal, and contemporary resort. Together they give families flexibility across budget, capacity, travel distance, and design preference. This guide maps out how to choose between them, plan a multi-day celebration, manage guest accommodation and travel, and budget effectively for a destination wedding near Delhi.
3 Destination Wedding Styles Near Delhi
1. Palace & Heritage Style
The palace wedding is the signature destination format in northern India. Historic columns, ornate arches, grand courtyards, and heritage suites create a setting that feels generations old. Tivoli Heritage Palace is the anchor venue for this style. Couples get exclusive use of the property for multi-day celebrations, with the freedom to theme each event differently: a colourful mehendi on the terraces, a glamorous sangeet in the banquet hall, and a traditional ceremony in the courtyard at dusk. The property also accommodates baraats with procession routes through heritage gates, which is a logistical advantage over city venues. For a deeper look at palace-style weddings, see our Heritage Palace Destination Weddings in Haryana guide.
2. Farmhouse & Rustic Style
Farmhouse weddings near Delhi blend open-air charm with laid-back elegance. Expansive lawns, fairy-light canopies, bonfire areas, and al-fresco dining define this style. While Tivoli's portfolio centres on palace and resort formats, couples can achieve rustic-farmhouse aesthetics at Tivoli Royal Palace by leveraging its large outdoor lawns with bohemian or garden-party decor. The venue's proximity to Delhi means same-day vendor access for florists, prop rentals, and live food stations that define the farmhouse vibe. Our Palace vs Farmhouse vs Resort Style Guide breaks down how to adapt each venue to your preferred aesthetic.
3. Resort & Contemporary Style
Wedcation by Tivoli in Ambala is purpose-built for the resort wedding format. The property combines modern architecture with landscaped outdoor spaces, a swimming pool area for pre-wedding events, and spa amenities that turn a wedding weekend into a mini-vacation for guests. This style suits couples who want clean, contemporary design over heritage ornament, and who value guest experience as much as the ceremony itself.

Planning a 2-Day vs 3-Day Destination Wedding
The format of your destination wedding depends on guest count, budget, and the number of ceremonies your family wants to host. A two-day wedding typically combines mehendi and sangeet on day one, followed by the wedding ceremony and reception on day two. This format keeps costs contained, reduces the accommodation burden, and works well for guest lists under 400 where most attendees travel on the morning of day one and depart after the reception on day two.
A three-day wedding adds a separate haldi ceremony (often on the morning of day two), gives the sangeet its own evening, and spaces out events so guests can enjoy the destination between functions. This is the preferred format at Tivoli Heritage Palace and Wedcation by Tivoli, where on-site accommodation makes it practical for guests to stay for three nights. Three-day celebrations allow for more relaxed scheduling, better photography windows, and the resort or palace experience that defines a true destination wedding.
Choosing between the two comes down to budget (a third day adds 15-25% to total costs), guest flexibility (can most guests commit to three days away from work?), and the venue's accommodation capacity. For a detailed day-by-day breakdown with timelines, vendor coordination checklists, and sample itineraries for both formats, see our dedicated spoke: 2-Day vs 3-Day Destination Wedding Itinerary Guide.
Guest Accommodation & Travel
Guest logistics can make or break a destination wedding. The first decision is whether to book a venue with on-site rooms (Heritage Palace offers 40+ heritage rooms; Wedcation provides 50+ resort rooms) or to arrange nearby hotel blocks for guests. On-site accommodation simplifies transport, keeps the celebration energy intact between events, and often comes bundled in wedding packages at a lower per-room rate than booking independently.
For venues where on-site rooms cannot cover the full guest list, arrange partner hotel blocks within 10-15 minutes of the venue and organise shuttle buses on a fixed schedule. At Heritage Palace, hotels in Rewari and Dharuhera serve as overflow accommodation. At Wedcation Ambala, Ambala city hotels are 15 minutes away. For Royal Palace Faridabad, the proximity to South Delhi means many guests may prefer to stay in their own homes and drive in for each event.
Travel coordination starts with a guest communication timeline: save-the-dates eight months ahead with venue location and travel tips, a detailed travel guide at three months (driving routes, train options, airport transfers), and a final logistics email one week before the wedding with shuttle schedules and contact numbers. Our Guest Accommodation & Travel Guide provides templates, checklists, and vendor recommendations for guest transport near each Tivoli property.
Cost Breakdown for Destination Weddings Near Delhi
Destination wedding budgets near Delhi vary significantly by venue type, guest count, and the number of celebration days. As a broad framework: venue rental and catering together account for 40-50% of the total budget, decor and production take 20-25%, guest accommodation and transport add 15-20%, and photography, entertainment, and miscellaneous items fill the remaining 10-15%.
At Tivoli Heritage Palace, all-inclusive two-day packages for 300 guests start at approximately INR 25 lakhs and scale to INR 75 lakhs or more for grand three-day celebrations with 800+ guests and premium decor. Tivoli Royal Palace in Faridabad offers a lower entry point (from INR 15 lakhs for 200 guests) since accommodation is off-site. Wedcation by Tivoli in Ambala positions itself in the INR 18-55 lakh range with resort rooms included in most packages.
The biggest cost lever is guest accommodation: venues with on-site rooms fold this into the package, while off-site accommodation requires separate budgeting. The second lever is the number of events; each additional ceremony adds catering, decor, and staffing costs.
