Home Lifestyle Weddings NRI-friendly planners

🤝 NRI-friendly wedding planners

Agencies that work US/UK/UAE timezones, take video calls, and don't need you on the ground every Tuesday.

💡 What "NRI-friendly" means in practice. Zoom-first kickoffs, monthly video reviews, transparent fixed-fee or % budgeting, US/UK guest logistics dialled in (hotel blocks, airport transfers), comfortable handling foreign-currency vendor payments, willing to work weekend evenings IST = your weekday morning PT.
⭐ Top pick — luxury / editorial

The Wedding Design Company (Devika Narain)
High-end destination weddings — they did Anushka–Virat and Priyanka–Nick. Editorial aesthetic, premium budgets, long lead times. Best when budget isn't the constraint.

Shaadi Squad
Pan-India, mid-market. Modular packages from intimate (50 guests) to 800-guest. Good when you want a defined scope and clear pricing upfront — less bespoke, more predictable.

Boutique / independent planners
For smaller weddings (under 150) or tighter budgets — many established planners run boutique studios in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Goa. More hands-on, cheaper than the big agencies, better on intimate ceremonies. Find via WedMeGood vendor directory.

How to pick

💡 Three questions before signing. (1) Will my dedicated point-person Zoom on weekend evenings IST? (2) What's the fee structure — flat, % of total, or hybrid — and what's included vs extra? (3) How do they handle foreign-currency payments to vendors (do they front-pay and bill you in INR, or do you wire each vendor)?
