Destination Wedding Places in Gujarat
If you want a real change of scene without crossing the state border, Gujarat has more options than most people realise:

Kevadia — Statue of Unity
About 200 km (3.5–4 hrs) from Ahmedabad. Venues here include resort lawns for roughly 600 guests (for example, The Fern Sardar Sarovar Resort, listed at up to ~625) and tent-city properties on the Narmada with lawns for ~500 and banquet space for ~1,000. Because rooms are limited, book early for weddings of more than 300 guests.
Diu — Nagoa Beach
About 370 km (around 7 hrs) away. This is the closest beach-wedding option for Gujarati families. Beach resorts here host roughly 50–500 guests, and costs are generally lower than in Goa.
Rann of Kutch — Dhordo (White Desert)
About 400 km away, via Bhuj. The Rann Utsav tent city runs from 1 November 2026 to 7 March 2027. Official 1-night packages start at around ₹6,300 per person (non-AC Swiss cottage, twin sharing) and go up to about ₹10,300 for super-premium tents, plus GST. Peak dates cost more. It suits a smaller, unforgettable celebration more than a 1,000-guest wedding.
Saputara & Polo Forest
These are hill and forest settings for intimate weddings. Saputara (~400 km) is Gujarat's only hill station. Polo Forest near Idar (~150 km) suits nature-retreat celebrations. Most properties here host groups of up to ~150, so they work best for pre-wedding functions or small weddings.
Udaipur Destination Wedding from Ahmedabad
Udaipur is the most popular "out-of-state" choice for Ahmedabad families. It is only 260 km away (4.5–5 hrs by road, or a short flight) and has some of India's best-known palace venues:
Overall, Udaipur weddings typically range from about ₹20 lakh for a smaller resort wedding to ₹2 crore or more at palace hotels. Catering note: most palace hotels make you use their in-house kitchen. If an authentic Gujarati, Jain or Satvik menu matters to your family, look at resorts and lawns that allow outside caterers.
Goa Destination Wedding from Ahmedabad
Goa is about a 1 hr 15 min direct flight from Ahmedabad. A 100-guest, 2-night wedding usually costs ₹15–70 lakh. Ultra-luxury resorts can go past ₹1.2 crore.
Beach ceremonies in Goa may need coastal-zone (CRZ) permissions. Many 5-star resorts also charge a separate venue fee if you don't book out the whole property, so ask for these costs up front.
Before You Book: 6 Catering Questions to Ask Any Venue
The food is what guests talk about after a destination wedding, and it is also where families get the most unpleasant surprises. Ask every venue:
- Is outside catering allowed? Many resorts and palace hotels insist on in-house catering. Others allow outside caterers for a royalty or corkage fee.
- Can they do a proper Jain/Satvik menu? Ask whether it comes from a separate kitchen, not just "no onion" versions of the same dishes.
- Is the venue pure-veg? If this matters to your family, check whether non-veg is cooked in the same kitchen.
- What is the per-plate price including GST? Then compare it for every function, not just the main wedding.
- How many live counters are included? Ask what each extra counter costs.
- Is there a tasting before the wedding?
