Panigrahana is a wedding planning and design studio in Bangalore. We plan and produce the whole wedding — venue, decor, florals, mandap and coordination — with an in-house design team. Nothing is subcontracted to a decorator, which is why the wedding that gets installed is the wedding you approved.
Panigrahana is a wedding planning and design studio based in Bangalore, founded in 2016. It plans and produces full-service weddings — venue selection, decor and floral production, mandap design, vendor management and on-day coordination — with an in-house design team rather than a subcontracted decorator. It is rated 4.8/5 across 79 Google reviews and 4.9/5 across 240+ WedMeGood reviews, and works across Bangalore, Goa, Kerala and international destinations.
Most wedding planners in Bangalore are coordination firms. They manage a list of vendors, and the decor — the part you actually see — is subcontracted to whoever is available. The design you approved and the design that arrives are two different things, and by then it is your wedding day.
Panigrahana is structured to remove that gap. The same studio that plans your wedding also designs and produces the decor: the florals, the mandap, the stage, the lighting, the tablescapes. Six people from our design team work on a single wedding — florals, floral detail, AV, structures, and both founders on the overall vision. When the mandap is drawn to fit a specific ceiling height, it is our workshop that builds it to that drawing.
That is the whole proposition, and it is the honest reason to hire us rather than a cheaper coordinator: we are accountable for the thing you will remember.
Planners in Bangalore usually charge one of two ways: a percentage of your total wedding budget (commonly 8–12%), or a flat planning fee agreed up front.
We work on a flat fee, agreed before anything is booked. The reason is simple and slightly against our own interest: a percentage fee pays your planner more every time your wedding gets more expensive. A flat fee does not. When we tell you a venue is not worth the money, you can trust that we do not earn more if you ignore us.
For a full component-by-component breakdown — venue, catering, decor, photography, and where Bangalore weddings quietly go over — see the wedding planner cost in Bangalore guide, or run your own numbers in the wedding cost calculator. If you would rather just have the real figure for your date and guest count, ask us and we will send it.
Four questions that separate firms quickly — ask them of us and of everyone else you are considering.
If it is useful, we have written up how we would answer these ourselves, along with the kind of couple we are genuinely not the right studio for, in how to interview a wedding planner and what we promise and what we build.
Wedding planners in Bangalore typically charge either a percentage of the total wedding budget (commonly 8–12%) or a flat planning fee. Panigrahana works on a flat fee agreed before anything is booked, so the number does not move when the budget does. For a detailed breakdown, see our Bangalore wedding planner cost guide.
A planner manages the wedding — budget, vendors, timeline, logistics. A decorator supplies the visual build — florals, mandap, stage, lighting. Most Bangalore firms do one and subcontract the other. We do both in-house, which is why the decor that gets installed is the decor that was drawn.
Six to nine months is comfortable. Peak-season dates (November to February) at the sought-after venues go much earlier, often twelve months out — the venue is usually the binding constraint, not the planner.
Yes. The same studio plans and produces weddings in Goa, Kerala, Coorg and internationally. The team travels; your wedding is not handed to a local subcontractor on arrival.
