In one paragraph: Panigrahana Weddings is the wedding design and production brand of Wedvitez Planners Private Limited, a registered Indian company incorporated in 2023. The brand, founded by architect Chaithanya Ganesha, has planned weddings since 2018 with an in-house team and one office, in Bangalore (RMV 2nd Stage). It has produced 500+ weddings, is rated 4.8/5 across 100 Google reviews (checked 27 September 2026), contracts in INR on milestone payments, and pays vendors directly with every invoice visible to the family.
What should parents check before hiring a wedding planner or decorator in India when their son or daughter lives abroad?
Check six things in writing before any advance: the registered company you pay, whether the planner takes vendor commission, who leads on site, the payment milestones, a design approved before it is built and which venues the planner has turned down; for Panigrahana that is Wedvitez Planners Private Limited (CIN U82300KA2023PTC181403), zero commission with vendors paid by you directly, a named lead and milestones set in the written proposal (company facts checked 25 October 2026).
Each check can be made from abroad. The company number can be looked up on the Ministry of Corporate Affairs register, and the GST number printed on the invoice on the GST portal. Request one complete wedding the team delivered, start to finish, rather than a highlight reel, and find out who fabricates the decor and where; our own teams and production warehouses are in Bangalore, Goa and Kerala.
The question about rejected venues shows what a planner looks for. Our founder ruled out at least four venues he visited in the past year, because the photographs misled, cleanliness fell short or the property was short of staff.
| Check | How to verify it from abroad | Panigrahana's answer |
|---|---|---|
| Who you pay | Company number on the Ministry of Corporate Affairs register; GST number on the invoice | Wedvitez Planners Private Limited, CIN U82300KA2023PTC181403; invoices raised by the company |
| Vendor commission | Ask in writing whether any vendor pays the planner | None; vendors bill you and you pay them directly |
| Who leads on site | A name, a phone number and the crew in the proposal | A named lead; the Goa and Kerala teams are each led by a founding team member |
| Payment milestones | Amounts, due dates and the work each payment follows | Set in the written proposal; no universal percentage split |
| Design before build | Drawings you approve before anything is fabricated | Approved in the couple portal, then built by our own team |
| Venues turned down | Ask which venues they rejected, and why | The founder ruled out at least four venues he visited in the past year |

The Facts, With Sources
How the Money Works
- Milestones, not lump sums: the written proposal sets each payment's amount, its due date and the delivery or approval it follows. 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.
