How the Money Works
Milestones, not lump sums: 30% to confirm the date · 50% two months before · 20% on the wedding week. Money follows delivered work.
INR contract, every line written: no exchange-rate surprises for families abroad; no verbal promises.
Direct vendor payments: we charge one transparent fee and vendors bill at their real rates — no hidden margins stacked on your caterer or photographer. Every invoice is visible to the family.
Company invoicing with GST — payments go to the registered company, never to a personal account.
Who exactly are we paying, and is it a registered company?
You contract with Wedvitez Planners Private Limited — the registered legal entity behind Panigrahana Weddings, operating since 2016 with an in-house team. Every payment is invoiced by the company with GST, never to an individual's personal account.
How is our money protected?
Three protections: (1) payments follow milestones — 30% to confirm the date, 50% two months before, 20% on the wedding week, so money follows delivered work; (2) the contract is in INR with every line item written down; (3) vendors are paid directly and every invoice is visible to the family — we charge a transparent flat fee, not hidden margins on your vendors.
Why does professional decor cost this much?
Because it is fabricated, not rented. Our mandaps, stage sets and installations are designed by an architect-led team and built for your wedding — market decor tiers run ₹3–5 lakh (essential) to ₹20 lakh+ (ultra-luxury), and a typical 300-guest hotel wedding budgets ₹8–15 lakh. We publish full market bands in the Panigrahana Wedding Cost Index so you can verify every number independently.
Who is accountable on the wedding day?
A named senior lead runs your wedding from first call to final send-off, with separate planning and production teams on the ground — the founders remain personally involved in design. You will have their direct numbers. On the day, one person answers to your family: ours.

How do we include family without losing track of wedding decisions?
Agree what the wedding needs to accomplish for the couple and family, then identify who contributes ideas and who approves each type of decision. Keep guest-count, spending and ceremony changes explicit. Discuss the cost and practical effect of a new request before committing to it.
Family members can value different things: participation, hosting, rituals, time together or the setting. Collect preferences with permission and discuss the tradeoffs. Record an agreed brief rather than treating every suggestion as an instruction. Financial contributions and approval roles should be discussed together; a planning worksheet does not decide family authority.
Build the schedule around the moments you and your family want to experience. Assign guest support and supplier coordination to named people. Include meals, rest, preparation and movement between events when reviewing the ceremony and photography schedule.
Ask who will handle arrivals or supplier questions while parents are taking part in a ceremony. Check whether an added event reduces time you intended to spend with guests. Keep these priorities in the brief so a late change can be evaluated against the experience you wanted, as well as its price.
