ROYAL RENDEZVOUS
TO SHOWCASE THE SPLENDOR, POTENTIAL AND LUXURY
OF JODHPUR & PORTRAY INDIA AS A WEDDING DESTINATION GLOBALLY
THIS JOURNEY, TRANSFORMED A SIMPLE IDEA INTO SOMETHING MORE
India’s opulent palace hotels and historic backdrops offer unparalleled settings for destination weddings. Royal Rendezvous is a platform created to showcase the best of India’s history, royal heritage and legendary luxury as a compelling proposition for world-class weddings. The first edition of this initiative – Royal Rendezvous 2019 – owed its success to the meticulous planning by Prerana Saxena and Annushree Agarwal of Theme Weavers Designs, under the guidance of HH Maharaja Gaj Singh Ji II, of Marwar Jodhpur, as well as its iconic address, Taj Umaid Bhawan Palace.
Between March 31 and April 1, 2019, a host of international and Indian wedding planners, media and other professionals in the weddings industry witnessed the unveiling of ‘Destination Jodhpur’ in all its glory. The three-day itinerary was carefully customized by Theme Weavers Designs and packed in a variety of authentic elements and experiences unique to this beautiful region in Rajasthan. The initiative viz. of ‘Destination Showcase’, ‘Exhibition of Local Arts and Crafts’ and ‘Destination Wedding Couture’.
We hope that this initiative will help create a symbiosis between the wedding industry and the people of Jodhpur, creating sustainable livelihoods and protecting traditional skills and craftsmanship. The combination of global standards and local initiative will create an experience to remember!
THE AUTHENTICITY COMES FROM OUR ETHOS OF WORKING WITH LOCAL JODHPURI BUSINESS AND PARTNERS DEEP AND OLD TIES WITH JODHPUR.
