Frequently Asked Questions

If you are at the start of your journey in planning your wedding you will probably have lots of questions, below are a few answers to some general planning and Vivaah Weddings specific ones. We would always recommend that the best way to get a better insight is to reach out directly to a planner as rapport is one of the most important elements when choosing your planner.

 

“By the end of the wedding , I assure you they will become your family and will not even give you a single thing to complain about!” – Ankrish Bhayana

 

What can a wedding planner do for me?
A reputable planner should be able to assess your budget and provide solutions to match your cost expectations. If required they can organise and assist you with every element from venue selection, invitations, entertainment, photography, specialised catering and guest management. They should provide you with choices and options for vendors and they should be willing to work with any vendors of your own choosing. Depending on your personal needs, some planners can offer a partial planning option, like décor while companies like Vivaah Weddings provide a full service from inception, contract negotiation to being with you on the day to ensure the smooth running of events.

 

Isn’t having a wedding planner a luxury?
While to some having a wedding planner may seem like a luxury, planning a wedding can take hundreds and hundreds of man hours to organise. This becomes even more exhausting if you choose a destination wedding far from home and you have a full-time job. A planner will already have a list of established vendors & suppliers and should be able to negotiate trade prices or add on services that will just not be available to you. Having someone to coordinate and manage all these elements ensures minimum stress levels, cost effectiveness and makes sure that nothing is overlooked. Most importantly a bride and groom looking forward to their big day rather than wishing it was all over.

Vivaah Wedding only does South Asian weddings?
Absolutely not, while this was the case in the formative years of Vivaah Weddings, the owner, Arun Bablani, is after all of Indian descent and is extremely knowledgeable in the customs, traditions and regional nuances of a South Asian wedding. The style of multi day events, which is now part and parcel of a destination wedding appeals to couples whatever their believe system is. Their aspiration is to have three or more days of celebration to mark their marriage and for everyone to leave with memories to last a lifetime.

What happens if we have to postpone or cancel our Wedding with Vivaah?
It is always unfortunate if our couples have to change their plans. For postponements, we will for a small administration fee, honour your contract. New dates must be set within twelve months and is subject to our availability. Additional fees may apply if you change your destination. For cancelations you will forfeit your deposit and only be liable for work completed. For Vendors and suppliers, in both instances we will flag their payment terms to you prior to you signing any contracts and will work with you to secure any refunds due or reschedule dates.

 

How does the Force Majeure clause protect me?
Force majeure clauses are contractual provisions allocating risk and providing defence for non-performance when circumstances beyond the contracting parties’ control make contractual obligations impracticable or impossible. While no one can guarantee 100% refunds, any reputable company will work with your vendors to minimise the financial impact to you.
