Your Royal Wedding Awaits
4 royal venues. 2,000+ guest capacity. 50 heritage rooms. The only palace wedding venue in Shimla.
A Wedding Fit for Royalty
Imagine exchanging vows in a palace built for a queen — Rani Leila Ba of Jubbal — surrounded by 4 acres of Cedar and Pine forest at 7,000 feet in the Himalayas. Woodville Palace is not merely a wedding venue; it is a living royal estate where your celebration becomes part of a legacy stretching back to 1866.
As Shimla's only palace hotel, Woodville offers what no other venue in the region can — genuine Art Deco heritage, grounds that have hosted Bollywood royalty, and a team experienced in managing celebrations from intimate gatherings of 50 to grand affairs of 2,000+ guests. From sangeet to reception, mehendi to pheras, every event is orchestrated within the palace's regal setting.
Four Royal Settings
Royal Ballroom
The grand covered hall with luxurious Art Deco interiors. Perfect for receptions, sangeet nights, and sit-down dinners. The high ceilings and ornate details create a setting of unmatched grandeur.
Garden of Princess
A vast open lawn set against the backdrop of Himalayan sunrises and sunsets. This is the venue for the grand wedding ceremony itself — where nature's theatre meets royal celebration. The expansive grounds allow for elaborate mandap setups, flower installations, and fireworks.
Emperor Garden
Weather-proof grandeur. This covered lawn venue combines the openness of an outdoor celebration with the reliability of a covered space — ideal for Shimla's unpredictable mountain weather. Perfect for mehendi ceremonies, cocktail evenings, and lavish receptions.
King's Garden
A versatile dual venue combining an open lawn and a covered hall. Use the lawn for ceremonies by day and the hall for dinner by night — or run parallel events across both spaces. The most flexible venue for multi-day celebrations with varied programming.
Marigold, Drapes & Deodar
Every celebration here looks different, because the estate takes decor well — sunflowers and marigold across a haldi lawn, white drapes and fairy lights strung between the Deodars, a mandap built against a hundred-year-old facade. These are real functions, photographed as they happened.

Everything Under One Roof
In-House Catering
A dedicated team of chefs preparing multi-cuisine menus — from traditional Himachali and North Indian to Continental and Chinese. Organic, locally sourced ingredients wherever possible.
Decoration & Florals
In-house decorators who understand the palace's architecture. Mandap designs, floral installations, lighting rigs, and stage setups that complement rather than compete with the heritage setting.
DJ & Entertainment
Professional DJ services, sound systems, and entertainment coordination. From live bands for the sangeet to classical musicians for the ceremony — all managed on-site.
50 Heritage Rooms
Your guests stay where royalty once lived. 50 rooms across 5 categories — from Deluxe to the Royal Suite. The bridal couple can reserve the suite where 3 Idiots was filmed.
Parking & Logistics
On-site parking for 20+ cars, valet service, and coordination with local transport providers for large guest groups arriving from Delhi, Chandigarh, or Shimla airport.
Spa & Wellness
Pre-wedding spa sessions for the bridal party. Relaxation amid the pine forest after the celebrations. The perfect wind-down between wedding events.
Beyond Weddings
Engagement Ceremonies
Intimate ring ceremonies in the Royal Ballroom or Garden Cafe setting, for 50–200 guests.
Corporate Events
Conferences, offsites, and team retreats. Video conferencing facilities, theatre-style seating for 200, and breakout spaces.
Birthday & Anniversary
Milestone celebrations in a palace setting. Private dining rooms, garden parties, and customised menus.
Pre-Wedding Shoots
The palace grounds, heritage corridors, and pine forest provide a cinematic backdrop that professional photographers love.
