Every wedding planner in Delhi claims to make something beautiful happen for their client. Not many can deliver on this promise, not to mention truly pull off a luxury wedding. There’s much more to it than money. Of course, the larger the budget, the more bells and whistles a planner can pull off, but true luxury wedding planners in Delhi have mastered the art of craftsmanship. In addition to this, these expert planners have cultivated relationships with top-tier vendors and can deliver a level of personalization that is usually reserved for folks with more than enough money to spend.
If you are in the market of employing a luxury wedding planner in Delhi, it’s important that you know what you are really paying for, and more importantly, what you should really be receiving in return.
It’s About The Design, Not The Décor
A standard planner pulls a décor theme from their catalog, and personalizes it to your date and venue. A luxury wedding planner in Delhi pulls a décor theme from nothing because the first step is to design the entire theme from scratch based on your relationship and personal preferences. This is the secret behind weddings in Delhi that doesn’t feel like every other wedding that season.
Last Minute Access Can’t Be Bought
Indian luxury weddings require a level of access that’s hard to come by. From securing the best heritage venues before they book out, to employing the best decorators and florists, photographers and entertainment acts well in advance of their calendars filling up. This level of access can’t be bought by first year planners. It’s earned through a longstanding relationship with a vendor network.
Luxury isn’t the price tag on a wedding — it’s the level of access, craftsmanship, and personal attention that a couple can’t replicate by booking vendors individually.
One Point of Creative Control
A wedding planner who understands the concept of luxury is a working partner in creating a one point of creative oversight across all of the wedding services. When a florist, lighting designer, stage architect and stylist are all working from briefs that have originated independently, the wedding and its various elements can feel uncoordinated. A luxury planner acts as a creative authority which can mean that the events feel more seamless and less disjointed across the wedding function.
Attention at the Level of Detail Most Planners Skip
This is how luxury wedding planners in Delhi, India, tend to distinguish themselves:
- Custom stationery, favours, and welcome kits (for each couple)
- Custom guest experiences (with welcome gifts and seating/dining arrangements and menu options to accommodate special dietary requests)
- Styling teams on-site throughout the event (not just for set up)
- Weather, traffic, and other last minute guest changes contingency planning
- A lead planner who is present and available to the couple at all times
What This Looks Like at SMLW India
At SMLW India, luxury wedding planning is not an additional charge. It is our standard. Each couple has their own dedicated team of creative planning professionals for their entire journey from the first consultation to the last send off, and each of our designs is custom made for that couple (not based on a previous event).
We have built strong partnerships with the leading event service providers in Delhi NCR. This means we have access to the top venues, decorators, and catering services, and we are able to secure pricing that is better than what most people can get on their own. We have on-site teams at every function to ensure our designs are executed the way we picture them (even the smallest detail).
Is It Necessary to Hire a Luxury Wedding Planner?
For couples planning elaborate weddings with several events, many guests, and extensive venue design work, the answer is usually yes, a luxury wedding planner is worth the cost. The cost difference between a regular and luxury planner is often surprisingly small after taking into consideration the better rates a luxury planner can secure for their services. The value is not just in better costs, but in the superior execution of the wedding.
If you are planning a wedding in Delhi and are considering hiring a luxury wedding planner, ask each one for a walk through of a past wedding, to discuss their design process and the challenges presented by last minute changes. This will give you better insight than any wedding planner portfolio.
We would be happy to have the opportunity to discuss your vision for a wedding that is every inch, yet not at all, like all the rest that has ever come before.
