Included with every wedding
A destination wedding is a logistics operation disguised as a celebration. Two hundred people, four events, three airports, two passports per family and a grandmother who has never used a booking link. The website is where all of that stops being your problem.
Off the shelf wedding sites assume one ceremony, one venue and a registry. A South Asian destination wedding has none of those assumptions in common with it. Guests need to know which events have a dress code, which are outdoors, which require a scarf or head covering, what time the baraat leaves and whether the sangeet runs past midnight so they can plan around children.
More importantly, they need to book the right room, in the right block, by the right date, without calling you. Every booking that goes through a third party site instead of your block costs you attrition credit and costs your guest the group rate.
One prominent button, going to your contracted rate, with room categories and pricing shown in the guest's own currency. Guests who book here are counted against your block, so your attrition and your comped nights stay intact.
Mehndi, sangeet, ceremony, reception and any welcome or farewell event, each with time, location, attire, indoor or outdoor, and whether transport is provided. Written so that a guest can read it once and pack correctly.
Passport validity rules, visa requirements by nationality including Indian passport holders, tourist card and entry form links, and what to do about a name mismatch between a passport and a ticket. This is the section that saves you the most phone calls.
Departure city by departure city, with the routings that actually connect for your dates. Where we hold group air, guests get the group booking instructions here rather than shopping around and arriving on the wrong day.
Jain, satvik, pure vegetarian, no onion no garlic, halal, allergies and mobility needs, collected per guest and exported straight into the resort's banquet event orders instead of living in a group chat.
What the weather does in that month, whether tap water is safe, how much to tip, what a resort day pass costs for non staying guests, and whether there is a temple or gurdwara nearby. Plain answers, written once.
Around a third of the guests on a typical NRI destination wedding are travelling from India, or are parents and grandparents who would rather be told than have to work it out. We write the essential pages in plain English and can provide Hindi, Punjabi or Gujarati versions of the travel, visa and schedule sections on request.
We also build the version nobody thinks of: a one page printable itinerary that an eighty year old can carry in a handbag, with the resort address in Spanish, the emergency number and the room block reference on it.
The site is the reference. The emails are what actually move people. We run a standard sequence and adjust it to your timeline.

A wedding website is included when we plan your wedding. It goes live once your resort contract is signed and your block is loaded, usually within two weeks, and we maintain it through to your final guest departure.
