Budget every event.See the whole shaadi.

The Indian wedding context accounts for multiple events — mehndi, sangeet, baraat, pheras, and reception — as distinct cost centres. Budget is allocated across all phases rather than treating it as a single reception. Each event has its own venue, catering, and décor component built into the breakdown.

Select India from the country dropdown and the tool outputs figures in Indian Rupees (₹) using realistic market rates for major Indian cities. Costs vary significantly between a Mumbai five-star and a tier-2 city farmhouse — the priorities field is where you can add your location for a more accurate split.

Yes — the Indian context includes ceremony-specific line items: pandit/priest fees, baraat transport (horse or band), mehndi artists, sangeet stage and sound, and traditional outfits for multiple ceremonies. These are often the most underestimated costs in a shaadi budget.

Indian wedding catering typically runs ₹800–₹2,500 per head per meal, depending on the number of courses, whether you include live counters, and the city. For a 300-guest wedding with a sit-down dinner and cocktail sangeet, catering often accounts for 35–45% of total spend. This adjusts based on your guest count.

Traditional cost-sharing norms vary by community and region, and they are changing quickly. This tool generates a total wedding budget — how families divide responsibility is separate. The breakdown is useful for both sides to understand the full picture before negotiating who covers what.

Yes — add the destination in the priorities field (e.g. "destination wedding in London" or "NRI wedding in Toronto") and market rate assumptions will adjust accordingly. International Indian weddings add travel logistics, visa considerations, and local vendor premiums to every category.
