For others it’s a regal affair in an opulent venue. Weddings in India can be extravagant affairs and it’s no longer kosher to exchange vows in a humble farmhouse or an ancestral home. Couples today dream of an exotic destination to tie the knot at — impeccably manicured gardens, private stretches of sand, immaculately-carved gazebos and opulent courtyards. Here are some of the grandest venues in India that can turn any dream-wedding fantasy into an unforgettable reality. nextSlideshows prevSlideshows 02 Sprawling over five acres and tiered on a hillock, the 15th century Neemrana Fort Palace is one of the oldest heritage properties in the country. Here, the beautiful dome-shaped gazebos, courtyards bounded by intricately-carved walls and verdant lawns can elevate your wedding from a been-there-done-that passé to something ethereal. Whether you choose an intimate sunset ceremony or an extravagantly-lit arrangement under the night sky, the Neemrana Fort Palace is one jaw-dropping venue.
