Nothing can come more close to your dream of the grand palatial wedding than having it in Kolkata’s most iconic palace, the Sovabazar Rajbari. This palatial building flanked by Tuscan pillars and sprawling courtyards was founded in the 1730s by Raja Naba Krishna Deb, one of old Kolkata’s most prominent zamindars.
One of the major attractions of Kolkata with its centuries-old Durga Puja, it is best to book this palace for your D-day at least a year back from the event, suggests Praveen Raj of Wedding Sutra. They will pull out all stops to give you a feel of the elegance of a bygone era — gaddas, hookahs, vintage chandeliers, antique memorabilia, and faux gas lamps. You will feel like royalty in this majestic palace that had once hosted the likes of Sir Robert Clive and Warren Hastings. Rent this palace for INR 60,000 and above (depending on the time and demand).
