Question 1

Is the wedding planner free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, entirely. You can plan up to 3 weddings per account with the full checklist, budget sheet, guest list, vendor tracker and event schedule. There is no paid tier, no trial and no card required.

Question 2

When should I start planning an Indian wedding?

Accepted Answer

Six to twelve months before the wedding date is typical, and the first decisions are the ones everything else depends on: fixing the date, agreeing a budget between both families, and booking the venue, caterer, photographer and pandit. In peak season — roughly November to February — good venues in the metros are taken eight to twelve months ahead.

Question 3

What does an Indian wedding checklist need to cover?

Accepted Answer

More than one day. A full Indian wedding usually spans roka, engagement, haldi, mehndi, sangeet, the wedding and a reception, each with its own venue, vendors, guest list and outfits. Our checklist comes pre-loaded with 31 tasks organised into five countdown phases, from six-plus months out to wedding week, and you can add your own.

Question 4

How do I budget for an Indian wedding?

Accepted Answer

Guest count and number of functions set most of the total before any vendor is booked, because catering is priced per plate and venues by capacity. A typical split runs catering 25–35%, venue 15–20%, decor 10–15%, outfits 10–15%, jewelry 10–20%, photography 5–8%. The planner comes with 16 Indian budget categories and estimated-versus-actual columns, and planners usually hold 8–10% back as buffer.

Question 5

Can I choose my wedding date from a muhurat calendar?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The planner counts down from whatever date you set, and the vivah muhurat calendar lists traditionally auspicious dates so the countdown starts from one. Muhurat dates are traditional guidance for choosing among dates, not a prediction about the marriage.

Question 6

Can I share the plan with my family?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can send pending tasks with the countdown, or budget totals, to the family WhatsApp group in one tap. Shares carry task names, counts and totals only — your guest list and individual guest details are never included.

Question 7

Do I still need a wedding planner if I use this?

Accepted Answer

That depends on scale. Many families run a wedding themselves with a good checklist and a clear budget; larger or destination weddings usually justify a professional. Even with a full-planning firm, the family should keep its own master view of guests, budget and decisions — which is what this tool is for.
