Our story
A palace wedding deserves more
than a search result.
PalaceDekho is India’s only wedding platform built around a single, focused premise — getting married inside a heritage palace, and doing it properly.
Our mission
To be the first name in palace weddings — and to earn it.
Booking a palace is the largest and most opaque decision in an Indian wedding. Rate cards are private, availability is unpublished, buyouts are negotiated case by case, and families are quoted whatever the property thinks they will pay.
Our mission is to make that one decision transparent and well-advised, for every family, at no cost to them — and to do only this, until nobody in India books a palace without checking us first.
Our thesis
Why palaces, only.
The other wedding platforms list everything — banquet halls, farmhouses, beach resorts, three-star hotels. The result is the same listicle, city after city, with the same five photos and a contact form that goes nowhere.
We took a different bet. We have walked the gardens of every palace we list, met their wedding managers, and sat in their negotiations. You are not searching a database — you are talking to people who can tell you why Falaknuma suits a Telugu-Marwari wedding of 280 better than Chowmahalla does.
That depth is the entire product.

How we work
How we operate
The rules we wrote on day one — and still work by.
We will never list 12,000 venues. We curate every palace personally and know each one inside out.
Our advice is free for couples. Palaces pay us a commission on a confirmed booking — never a fee from you, and never a charge per enquiry.
We introduce you to the palaces and vendors we have selected for you. We do not sell your details, and we do not syndicate one enquiry across thirty competing properties.
We have talked families out of properties that would not work for their guest count, their season or their budget. Losing a booking is cheaper than delivering a bad wedding.
On-site concierge attendance on your wedding day is available as a paid add-on, quoted upfront.
