Luxury wedding planner cost in India
The real question isn't only 'what does a planner charge?' It's 'what responsibility are they taking off the family, and what mistakes are they preventing?'

Common pricing models
Wedding planners in India usually charge through fixed packages, percentage-based fees, function-wise fees, destination retainers or custom retainers for large-scale celebrations. Luxury full-service planning is usually priced around responsibility, not simply number of meetings.
What affects planner cost
Guest count, number of functions, destination, hospitality complexity, vendor categories, décor ambition, family-side coordination, timeline pressure and founder involvement all affect planner fees.
When the fee is worth it
A planner becomes worth it when the family would otherwise spend months managing follow-ups, budgets, vendor comparisons, rooming lists, guest calls, escalations and on-day pressure themselves.
Investment range
Planning fees often vary by scope, city, guest count, number of functions and destination complexity

Questions
Frequently asked
How much does a wedding planner charge in India?
There's no single number. Fees depend on city, guest count, number of functions, scope, destination complexity and whether the planner is coordinating or carrying full responsibility.
Is a fixed fee better than a percentage fee?
A fixed fee is easier for families to understand. Percentage fees can make sense for large or complex weddings, but the scope must be clear so incentives remain aligned.
Does Dream Weddings charge separately for hospitality?
Hospitality is normally part of our full-service planning scope because guest experience is central to how we plan weddings.
