Testimonials

Divya & Amit Trivedi

Couple

"The vendor booking guide paid for itself a hundred times over — the questions it taught us to ask caught two contract gaps before we signed anything."

Nadia & Sunny Bains

Couple

"We planned a three-city, two-faith wedding weekend using the playbooks here. When the weekend finally came, everything simply ran."

Margdarshak Weddings

Vendor Partner

"Guide-educated couples negotiate better, book faster, and enjoy the process more. We recommend the library to every couple who calls us."

Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of guides are here?

Step-by-step playbooks for every planning stage: choosing venues, comparing caterers, reading photographer contracts, building multi-day timelines, budgeting, and preparing for each ritual.

Are the guides free?

Yes — every guide is free to read, with no paywall, written specifically for South Asian weddings in the United States.

How is this different from a blog?

Guides are reference material — updated, structured, and complete — while blogs tell stories and chase trends. You follow a guide; you enjoy a blog.

Do you have a guide for first-time planners?

Yes — the twelve-month master playbook walks first-timers from budget conversation to vidaai, one step at a time.

Which vendor guides are most popular?

Photographer contracts, caterer tastings, and makeup artist trials top the list — the three bookings couples feel least sure about.

Are the guides specific to South Asian weddings?

Completely — from baraat logistics and mehndi timelines to two-faith ceremonies and milni etiquette, every guide is written for the weddings we actually have.

Can we suggest a guide topic?

Yes, through the contact page. The most requested topics get written first.

Do guides cover destination weddings?

Yes — Mexico, the Caribbean, India, and U.A.E. destination guides cover venues, legalities, guest travel, and shipping decor.

Who writes the guides?

Veteran wedding planners, vendors, and editors from the ShaadiPros network — people who have run hundreds of these weddings, not generic content writers.

How current is the information?

Guides are reviewed each season and updated whenever prices, norms, or vendor practices shift materially.

Can parents and in-laws follow along?

Yes — several guides are written directly for family members taking on hosting roles, in plain, warm language.

Where do I start?

Start with the twelve-month playbook, then branch into the vendor guides as each booking approaches.
