While the details about Priyanka and Nick’s wedding have been kept under the wraps, we know that the lovebirds will be exchanging the nuptial vows at Umaid Bhawan Palace, Jodhpur. According to a DNA report, the Chopra-Jonas families have booked the Taj Umaid Bhawan Palace for the wedding from November 29, 2018, to December 3, 2018. As per a source, “The couple has booked the fort from November 29 to December 1. It will be closed for tourists on these three days.”
When the aforementioned media portal called the Palace and inquired for the reservations, the hotel personnel at the reservation counter said, “None of the rooms are available on these dates. We have rooms till November 28 and again starting from December 4. We are completely booked for the five days in between.” Do you know how much Priyanka and Nick are shelling out for their wedding festivities?
The grand yellow sandstone property, Umaid Bhawan Palace has 64 luxurious rooms and suites i.e. 22 palace rooms and 42 suites which are further segregated into four types - 24 historical suites, 10 royal suites, 6 grand royal suites and 2 presidential suites.

So, the total cost to book the entire hotel sums up to approximately Rs 64.40 lakh per night. And since the hotel has been booked for a total of five days by Priyanka and Nick, so just the accommodation will reportedly cost around Rs 3.2 crore.

Priyanka will be boarding the helicopter from Udaipur and the helicopter will directly land at Umaid Bhawan Palace on November 29. She will be returning to Udaipur on December 3 by boarding the helicopter from the wedding venue itself. We are yet to receive the names of the people boarding the helicopter from Udaipur.

Other than their Mumbai reception, they will also be hosting a wedding reception in Delhi for Priyanka’s relatives."
According to the reports earlier, Priyanka and Nick planned to host the sangeet at Mehrangarh Fort. But as per the latest reports, the sangeet ceremony, along with the other functions, will now take place at the Umaid Bhawan Palace itself.

But the Jodhpur police couldn’t provide the protection citing the upcoming assembly elections in Rajasthan. An official from Mehrangarh Fort also confirmed that the booking has got cancelled.
