Indian Wedding Planners

What Indian Wedding Planners does

Indian Wedding Planners (IWP) is a privately held luxury destination wedding planning company founded in 2007 by Anant Khandelwal, headquartered in Jaipur (Rajasthan) with a secondary headquarters in Mumbai (Goregaon East). The company provides 360-degree wedding planning services — including concept design, venue curation, vendor management, guest hospitality, complex logistics, and multi-day itinerary execution — for domestic Indian, NRI, and international couples across India and 15+ global destinations including Vietnam, UAE, Turkey, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, and Sri Lanka.

The core product is comprehensive project-based wedding planning rather than any proprietary technology platform. Execution relies on on-ground vendor coordination, Jaipur-resident staff, and established relationships with heritage properties and royal households. The company has built a portfolio of pre-negotiated planner rates and confirmed booking pipeline access at flagship venues including Taj Lake Palace (Udaipur), Rambagh Palace (Jaipur), Umaid Bhawan Palace (Jodhpur), Oberoi Udaivilas, Leela Palace Udaipur, and ITC Mementos. Marketing and customer acquisition operate through SEO-optimized destination pages, Instagram, YouTube, a multi-step website enquiry form, video consultations, and WhatsApp/phone contact, with no reseller or third-party distribution channels.

The revenue model is professional services-based with project-based fees structured around four publicly disclosed pricing tiers: Intimate (₹1 Cr / ~$105K, 50-100 guests), Premium (₹3-5 Cr / $315K-$525K, 150-250 guests), Royal (₹7-10 Cr / $725K-$1.05M, 300-500 guests), and Ultra-luxe (₹10 Cr+ / $1.05M+, 500+ guests or whole-property buyouts). The customer base includes UHNW families seeking ₹10 Cr+ celebrations, NRI couples (30%+ of Jaipur weddings) planning remotely from USA, UK, Canada, UAE, Australia, and domestic Indian couples from metro cities. Over 200 weddings have been executed lifetime with 20+ international celebrations completed.
