✨ A New Chapter on the Chandigarh Highway
There was a time when destination weddings meant Udaipur, Jaipur, or Goa. Today, a new name has entered that conversation — Wedcation by Tivoli Ambala.
Located along the Ambala–Hisar Road (NH-65), just minutes from NH-44, this elegant property is rewriting what "luxury resort wedding" means in Haryana.
Formerly known as Palmdale Resort, it has been completely re-imagined by the Tivoli Hotels Group, bringing its legacy of grand Delhi celebrations to Ambala's serene countryside.
🏛️ The Venue: Grand, Green & Gracious
Nestled in Village Durkhara, the resort is designed for large-scale celebrations that still feel personal. Every detail — from banquet architecture to landscape layout — is tuned for comfort and flow.
Here's what it offers (as per official Tivoli Fact Sheet):
