Chapter IV

Live cost transparency.the hidden costs we surface

Every quote, x-rayed.

Indian wedding vendors hide 18–24% of cost in side-fees, GST footnotes, “setup charges,” mandatory tipping, overtime ladders, and the legendary “extra rangoli.”

Wedwise rebuilds every vendor quote into a line-item invoice — with the typical hidden surcharges called out before you sign, not after the baraat leaves.

  • GST & service tax — pre-calculated and bundled, never sprung at delivery.
  • Overtime ladders — if your function runs late by 90 mins, here’s the exact ladder.
  • Mandap take-down & sweep — often billed extra at 3am. We negotiate it in upfront.
  • Vendor staff meals — 40-person decor crew needs feeding. We add the plates.
  • Transport, setup, electricity — venue power load fees, gen-set rentals, the works.

Chapter VII

Real weddings.real savings · real families

Names changed, savings real. Every story below is from a Wedwise-planned wedding between October 2024 and February 2026.

My father had budgeted ₹52 lakh and I was bracing for the “just one more” conversations. Wedwise mapped it at ₹41L and we landed at ₹38.6L — with the same five-star Andheri venue and 380 guests. The hidden-cost x-ray alone saved us a fight with the caterer.

A
Aanya & Rohan
Mumbai · Dec 2025 · 380 guests
Saved ₹ 13.4 L vs. initial plan

Destination wedding in Udaipur, two families pulling in opposite directions. Wedwise gave us a shared dashboard with line-item costs — suddenly “is this reasonable?” was no longer a fight. The Mangal concierge negotiated 18% off our palace venue rate.

M
Meher & Karthik
Udaipur · Feb 2026 · 220 guests
Saved ₹ 21.8 L on a ₹1.1 Cr wedding

First-generation NRI wedding, parents in Pune, we’re in Toronto. The platform let my dad approve quotes from his side & me from mine. No more 2am WhatsApps about flower arrangements. Our decor came in 22% under what local quotes were asking for the same brief.

N
Neha & Aditya
Pune · Jan 2026 · 260 guests
Saved ₹ 8.6 L on decor + catering
Chapter VIII

Frequently asked.before you bring it up at dinner

How exactly do you “vet” vendors? What does that mean?
Every vendor passes a three-stage filter: document verification (GST, trade license, identity), portfolio audit (we attend at least one of their events unannounced), and reference checks with 5+ past couples within the last 18 months. We also continuously monitor reviews and remove vendors who drop below a 4.4 rating average. Currently 2,847 active vendors across 14 cities.
If a vendor doesn’t deliver or cancels — what happens?
On Shubh and Mangal plans, every vendor is contracted through Wedwise with a refund-protection clause. If they cancel within 60 days of your wedding, we either replace them at the same price-point or refund 100% of the deposit, whichever you prefer. On Mangal, we also keep an active “bench” of 2–3 backup vendors per category for emergencies.
Does Wedwise actually plan the wedding, or just give me a budget?
Depends on the plan. Saral is an intelligence layer — you get the budget & benchmarks, you do the planning. Shubh adds matching, transparent quoting, and a planning dashboard — you still drive but with a great co-pilot. Mangal is full white-glove — a dedicated human concierge negotiates, walks venues, and coordinates day-of. We do not replace traditional planners; we work alongside or instead of them depending on your budget.
What about all the hidden costs — GST, overtime, tips, “extras”?
This is the part most planners hide. Our transparency engine reconstructs every vendor quote with line-item GST, overtime ladders, take-down crew fees, staff meals, transport, and electricity loads — surfaced before you sign, not after. The average member discovers ₹2.4–4.8 lakh in “hidden but legitimate” costs that would otherwise have arrived as “final adjustment” line items at delivery.
I’m planning a regional wedding — Bengali, Tamil, Marwari, Sikh, Christian, Muslim. Are you only for “Hindu” weddings?
No. Our budget models are calibrated for all major Indian wedding traditions — including the differences in event count (e.g., Tamil weddings often have fewer functions but a much larger single-day spend; Marwari weddings are 5–7 events deep; Sikh weddings center on the gurudwara with a langar). Vendor matching surfaces specialists for your specific tradition — pandits, granthis, priests, qazis, mehendi artists trained in the right styles, and cuisine teams that understand the menu codes.

Plan smart.
Marry smarter.
