What Worked
Wedding planners were the surprise segment — Indian weddings involve 50+ vendors (caterer, decorator, DJ, photographer). A coordinating dashboard with vendor payments saved planners 10 hours/wedding.
Biggest Mistake
Started with corporate events. Longer sales cycles, budget approvals. Weddings are B2C — one happy bride generates 10 referrals.

Pros & Cons
Pros
- ₹4.74 lakh crore wedding industry; 10M+ weddings per year in India
- Event planners currently using WhatsApp groups and Excel
- Vendor marketplace creates network effects
Cons
- Fragmented market; hard to get planners to pay subscription
- Event frequency is lumpy (not monthly SaaS behaviour)
- Wedding Wireframe and WedMeGood focus on consumer side
Real-World Proof
India events and weddings market at ₹5 lakh crore annually
— 10 million weddings per year in India; average wedding budget ₹5–10L for middle-class. Wedding tech is nascent.
WeddingBazaar crosses 5 crore users as India's wedding services marketplace
— ₹100 Cr GMV; 100,000+ verified vendors — planning coordination layer is the missing piece above a marketplace.
