Marry Me has been planning Indian weddings since 2012. Panigrahana has been designing them since 2016. The honest difference is not age or quality — it is where each company stands when your wedding is in Goa.
Marry Me Weddings is a Mumbai-based full-service wedding planning company founded in 2012, led by Candice Pereira and Jarret D’Abreo, planning weddings in Mumbai and Goa. Panigrahana Weddings is an architect-founded wedding design and production studio (established 2016) with a resident office in Panaji, Goa — a 30-person in-house team, 500+ weddings across six destinations, rated 4.9/5 across 240+ WedMeGood reviews. The practical difference for a Goa wedding: an experienced planning relationship run from Mumbai, versus original design plus in-house production run from inside Goa.
Marry Me is one of the longer-standing names in Indian wedding planning, and couples who work with established planners get real value from that tenure: vendor judgement, calm process, and a team that has seen most problems before. Nothing on this page argues otherwise.
The comparison is about model and geography. Panigrahana is not a planning layer that hires decorators — the florists, lighting engineers, and set builders are our employees, and for Goa weddings they work out of our Panaji office. When the rain call has to be made at 4 p.m., or the mandap anchoring needs to change because the wind shifted, the people deciding are the people who designed it — and they are already in Goa.

One Goa-specific test: ask each company to describe, hour by hour, what happens if it rains on your ceremony morning. The answer tells you who owns the contingency — a vendor chain, or a production team with its designers standing on the sand.
Marry Me Weddings (founded 2012) is an established Mumbai-based full-service planning company working in Mumbai and Goa. Panigrahana Weddings (founded 2016) is an architect-led design and production studio with a resident Panaji office — original decor designed per couple and fabricated by a 30-person in-house team. The practical difference for Goa: a planning relationship run from Mumbai versus design-plus-production run from inside Goa.
It depends on the brief. For a hotel-contained wedding where the venue carries logistics and you mainly want seasoned orchestration, an established planning company is a sound choice. For a wedding where original design, in-house fabrication, and on-ground monsoon contingency ownership matter, a resident studio model is built for exactly that.
Yes — Level 2, Nova Goa Building, Dr Atmaram Borkar Road, Altinho, Panaji. Goa weddings are produced from there, with the same in-house design and production teams that run our Bangalore and Kerala work.
Established planners generally can; ask each about their remote process. Panigrahana has produced 150 NRI weddings for couples in the US, UK, Singapore, UAE, and Australia — remote-first planning with both founders on the design, and the Goa production handled by our resident team.
