Panigrahana & Wedvitez Planners: One Studio, Two Names

Panigrahana and Wedvitez:
one studio, two names.

If you found this page, you probably noticed two different names on our paperwork or in a search result and wanted a straight answer. Here it is, along with every way to check it yourself.

The short version: Panigrahana Weddings is the consumer brand of Wedvitez Planners Private Limited, a Bengaluru-registered private limited company. The brand has operated since 2016, the company was incorporated in 2019, and both names refer to the same studio, the same founders and the same in-house team. Nothing was sold, merged or renamed to distance the business from its history.

The two names

Why a brand and a company carry different names

Panigrahana is the Sanskrit name of the wedding ritual where the groom accepts the bride's hand. Our founder, architect Chaithanya Ganesha, chose it when the studio began designing weddings in 2016. It is the name couples know us by on WedMeGood, Google and Instagram.

Wedvitez Planners Private Limited is the registered company that operates the brand. When the studio incorporated in 2019, the legal entity took this name. Your invoice, your agreement, your GST line and the bank account you pay into all carry it, because that is how Indian company law works: money moves under the registered name, not the brand.

Plenty of businesses you already trust work the same way. The food-delivery app on your phone and the airline you last flew both bill under registered names most customers have never heard of. What matters is that the link between the two names is public and checkable, so we put it in the footer of every page on this site and on this page in detail.

The honest part

Read something worrying online?

Search our name and you may come across an anonymous forum post questioning us, including one that treats our two names as suspicious. We would rather address that than pretend it does not exist.

The two-names question is answered above, and it takes one government-registry search to confirm. On the broader question of trust: we have produced 500+ weddings, and we will not claim every one was flawless. When a couple flags a gap, most often a decor element that did not match what was promised, we respond publicly on the review platform, own it and fix it. What we would ask of any anonymous claim is the same thing we ask of ourselves: weigh it against 300+ named, dated reviews on moderated platforms and couples reviewing us on camera at their own venues.

Two things about how we work exist precisely so that promises cannot quietly slip: couples approve a 3D render of their key spaces before the wedding, so you sign off on what you will actually get, and we design and build in-house with one team, so there is no planner-versus-vendor finger-pointing if something needs correcting on the day.

If anything you have read still bothers you, bring it to the first call. Ask us about it directly. A company that dodges the question does not deserve your wedding; hold us to that standard.

Common questions

Panigrahana and Wedvitez, answered

Are Panigrahana Weddings and Wedvitez Planners the same company?
Yes. Panigrahana Weddings is the consumer brand of Wedvitez Planners Private Limited, a Bengaluru-registered private limited company. The brand has operated since 2016, the company was incorporated in 2019, and both names refer to the same studio, founders and team.
Why does my invoice or agreement say Wedvitez Planners Private Limited?
Invoices, agreements, GST filings and bank payments legally run under the registered company name. Panigrahana Weddings is the brand name we are known by on WedMeGood, Google, Justdial and Instagram. If the two names on your paperwork ever confuse you, ask us to walk you through it on a call before you pay anything.
Did Panigrahana Weddings change its company name?
No. Panigrahana has been the brand since 2016 and Wedvitez Planners Private Limited has been the registered entity since 2019. Both names have coexisted publicly for years; the legal name sits in the footer of every page on this site.
Is Wedvitez Planners Private Limited a registered company?
Yes, it is a private limited company incorporated in 2019 and registered with India's Ministry of Corporate Affairs. You can verify this yourself on the MCA master data portal.
How can I verify Panigrahana Weddings is genuine?
Run the five checks above: the MCA registry, our two WedMeGood profiles (4.9/5 across 240+ reviews), Google (4.8/5, 79 reviews) and Justdial (4.8/5, 75 reviews), the on-camera couple reviews on YouTube, and a studio visit in Malleswaram, Bengaluru. Our reviews page gathers all of it in one place.
Is Panigrahana Weddings a scam?
No, and we would rather answer the blunt question than dance around it. We are a registered private limited company (verifiable on mca.gov.in), with 500+ weddings produced since 2016, 4.9/5 across 240+ WedMeGood reviews, 4.8/5 on Google and Justdial, couples reviewing us on camera at their own venues, and a Bengaluru studio you can walk into this week. The word "scam" appears online only in anonymous forum posts; every named, verifiable record points the other way.
How do you make sure the decor matches what was promised?
The two fears we hear most are "the decor won't match the pictures" and "the team that sold us will vanish before the wedding". Both have structural answers here. You approve a 3D render of your key spaces before the event — what you sign off is what gets built, and the render travels into the production brief. And because we design and build in-house with our own 30-person team, the people who promised the design are the people at your venue executing it; the founders stay on every wedding's design. Read what we promise vs what we build for renders next to finished photos from real weddings.
