Destination weddings at 8,500 ft, in a heritage setting.

Five venues across one property. Fifty to three hundred guests. In-house catering, planner, decorator, and ninety keys for guest stay. Packages from ₹10 lakhs.

Why Kufri

Why couples pick Kufri over Goa, Udaipur, or Jaipur.

Three things, mostly: snow, weather that holds, and a drive that almost everyone in North India can manage in a day.

01 / Snow

Snowfall in December & January.

The only Indian hill station where you can realistically plan a winter snow wedding without going to Kashmir.

02 / Weather

Pleasant temperatures year-round.

Summer sits between 15°C and 25°C. Winter goes down to 0°C with snow. No monsoon flooding risk like in Goa.

03 / Reach

One-day reach for North Indians.

9–10 hours from Delhi, 4 hours from Chandigarh. Most guests can drive. No flights needed, lower per-head logistics cost.

When to marry here

Three wedding seasons, three different weddings.

Every window works. Each one gives you a different day, different photographs and a different guest list to plan for.

October to NovemberDecember to FebruaryMarch to May
The dayCrisp, clear air after the monsoon, 10 to 20°C in the daytimeThe best chance of snow on the ground, especially in January and FebruaryRhododendron blooms, longer daylight and warm afternoons
Plan forOutdoor pheras with the snow peaks visible in every photographNear or below zero at night. Hold the ceremony between 11 AM and 2 PM and keep a heated indoor backupMountain roads fully open after winter, and popular dates filling early
Best forCouples who want views and comfortable outdoor functionsA white-landscape snow weddingGarden-style functions and long evenings

Planning around one window? Read the season-by-season wedding guide, and time your pre-wedding shoot for the same weeks.

Kufri or central Shimla

Why weddings move up the hill to Kufri.

Central Shimla sits on steep ridgelines. Parking is tight, lawns are small, and moving 150 guests through town adds friction to every function.

What the space changes
  • Lawns large enough for the mandap, the sangeet stage and cocktails at the same time
  • Five venues on one property, from 30 to 300 guests, so no function needs a second location
  • Complimentary parking for 60+ cars, so the baraat is not negotiating town traffic
  • A full property buyout when you want the resort reserved for your guests alone
What your guests notice
  • Rooms, lawns, spa and dining a short walk apart, with no public hotel lobby to cross
  • Snow on the surrounding peaks from November to February, behind every photograph
  • A spa for pre-wedding rituals and a honeymoon suite for the two of you
  • Guest rooms on the property. See room types and rates
Getting guests here

Wedding FAQs

The practical questions.

How much does a destination wedding in Shimla cost?
₹10–15 lakhs for an intimate budget wedding (up to 50 guests). ₹20–35 lakhs for a 100–200 guest celebration. ₹40 lakhs+ for a luxury 200+ guest affair with imported decor and full multi-day events.
What’s the best time of year for a wedding in Shimla?
March–June and September–November for outdoor pheras and pleasant weather. December 15 – February 15 for snow. Avoid July–September because of heavy rain.
Can we do an outdoor wedding in winter?
Yes, with a heated mandap setup. We provide outdoor heaters, blankets for guests, and a backup indoor venue in case of unexpected snowfall.
Do you provide in-house catering?
Yes. Multi-cuisine menus — Himachali, North Indian, Continental, Chinese, South Indian. Customisable for vegetarian, Jain, halal, and gluten-free needs.
How far in advance should we book?
6–12 months for peak season (Oct–Dec, March–May). 3–6 months for off-season. Saturday peak-season dates often go 12 months out.
Can guests stay on-site?
Yes. We have 90 rooms across 7 categories. Full property buyout is available for weddings of 150+ guests.
Do you arrange the priest, baraat horse, and ceremonies?
Yes — through our local panel of vendors. Pricing is shared upfront, no markup.
Can we bring our own decorators and DJ?
Yes. Outside decorators and DJs are welcome. Outside food is not permitted, because all catering is handled by our own kitchen.
How far is Kufri from Delhi and Chandigarh for wedding guests?
About 370 km from Delhi, 7 to 9 hours by road, and about 128 km from Chandigarh, 3.5 to 4 hours. Chandigarh airport is the best arrival point for guests flying in, and Kufri is 13 km beyond Shimla.
Can we book the whole resort for our wedding?
Yes. A full property buyout is available for larger weddings, so every room, lawn and venue is reserved for your guests. Send your dates and guest count for a quote.

Start a Kufri wedding enquiry with the right brief

For a meaningful venue response, include a date range, estimated guest count, number of functions, expected room requirement and the best contact person. This allows the events team to check the real availability and prepare an option for your celebration rather than rely on a generic price estimate.

Use the rooms and suites page to shape the guest-stay conversation, read the Shimla to Kufri travel guide when planning guest arrivals, and send the full brief through the direct wedding enquiry page. For destination ideas, see the Kufri activity guide.

Find the guide that settles it

Every guide is hand-researched: routes, snow months, what a night costs, the resort itself. Search a topic, skim a group, or see the stays.
