Your Shaadi in India, Arranged Before You Land
You book the flight. We arrange everything else.
Planning a wedding in Punjab from Canada, the UK, the USA, Australia or anywhere else usually means months of phone calls across time zones and relatives running between vendors. Our NRI wedding planning team works on the ground in India for you — venue, catering, decor, pandit, photography, transport and paperwork — all confirmed before your flight touches down.

The problem every NRI family knows
The wedding is in Punjab, but you are ten thousand kilometres away. The venue quotes one price on the phone and another when your uncle visits. The decorator's photos look nothing like the real setup. The good dates at the gurdwara are gone before anyone checked. And by the time you finally land two weeks before the shaadi, half the budget is spent and half the work is still undone.
That is exactly what this service removes. One coordinator in India, working with your family daily, reporting to you on video call — so when you arrive, the only thing left to do is get married.
Everything your shaadi needs, handled from here
From the first venue walkthrough to the last return gift, our team in India manages it all and keeps you updated on video calls, photos and written quotes.
Venue & Banquet Booking Before You Land
We shortlist marriage palaces, farmhouses and banquet halls in Punjab, hold dates on your behalf and arrange video walkthroughs, so the venue is confirmed weeks before your flight touches down.
Pandit, Granthi & Muhurat Arrangements
Anand karaj at the gurdwara or phere at a venue — we book the granthi or pandit, confirm the muhurat with your family astrologer and prepare the samagri list in advance.
Catering, Halwai & Menu Tasting by Video Call
From the sarson da saag counter to the chaat stall and the wedding cake, menus are finalised with you over video calls and family tastings in India before you arrive.
Decorator, Tent & Theme Setups
Mehndi by the poolside, a phulkari-themed sangeet or a royal maroon-and-gold wedding stage — our decorators share designs and fabric samples with you abroad and execute on ground.
Photography, Videography & Same-Day Edits
Pre-wedding shoots at Punjabi havelis and mustard fields, candid photography, drone coverage and same-day highlight reels your relatives abroad can watch the same evening.
Bridal Makeup, Mehendi Artists & Styling
Trials scheduled for the day you land, with portfolios shared in advance — bridal makeup, hair, mehendi artists for both families and groom styling, all pre-booked.
Airport Pickup, Guest Transport & Hotels
Fleet bookings from Amritsar, Chandigarh and Delhi airports, tempo travellers for the baraat, and hotel blocks for guests arriving from different countries — coordinated on one sheet.
DJ, Dhol, Band & Sangeet Choreography
Jaggo and sangeet nights with live dhol, DJ and band bookings, plus choreographers who teach the family performance over video call before you even pack your bags.
Legal Paperwork & Marriage Registration Guidance
Step-by-step help with the paperwork NRIs ask about most — marriage registration in India, document checklists, and coordination with local offices so nothing delays your return flight.
Invitation Cards, Shagun & Return Gifts
Printed and digital cards designed around your family, shagun envelopes, mithai boxes and return gifts sourced and delivered to the venue while you are still abroad.
Dedicated Family Coordinator in India
One named coordinator who works with your parents and relatives in Punjab daily, sends you photo and video updates, and keeps every vendor payment on record.
Payments in Rupees, Transparent Bills
Vendor quotes in rupees with written bills, staged advance payments and a single expense sheet in your currency, so you always know where every rupee went.
How it works, from abroad to the wedding day
A clear timeline so you always know what is happening on the ground in India.
6–9 months before the wedding
You contact us from abroad. We discuss your dates, city preference, guest count and budget on a video call, then hold venues and book the pandit or granthi for your muhurat.
4–6 months before
Menus, decorators, photography and makeup artists are shortlisted. Your family in India attends tastings and site visits; you approve everything on video call.
2–3 months before
Invitation cards go to print, hotel blocks and airport pickups are booked, sangeet choreography begins online, and the legal paperwork checklist is started.
2–4 weeks before
Final head counts, seating plans and vendor balances are confirmed. You receive a complete day-wise shaadi schedule covering mehndi, haldi, sangeet, the wedding and reception.
You land in India
Airport pickup is waiting. Your coordinator walks you through the venue, trials and final fittings — everything else is already done. You enjoy your shaadi; we run it.

Questions NRI families ask us
How does PunjabiRishtey plan a wedding in India for NRIs?+
You contact us while still abroad and we assign a dedicated coordinator in India. Venues, caterers, decorators, pandit or granthi, photography, makeup, transport and hotels are all shortlisted and booked on your behalf, with video calls, photos and written quotes shared with you at every step — so everything is ready before you land in India.
Which cities in India do you cover for NRI weddings?+
We arrange weddings across Punjab — Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Amritsar, Patiala, Chandigarh and Mohali — and can coordinate functions in Delhi NCR and other North Indian cities on request.
Can you hold a venue date before we visit India?+
Yes. We negotiate with marriage palaces, farmhouses and banquet halls, hold tentative dates, arrange live video walkthroughs and complete the booking paperwork so your venue is secured months before your arrival.
How do we pay vendors from abroad?+
All vendor quotes are given in writing in rupees. You pay in stages through traceable channels, and we maintain a single expense sheet showing every advance and balance, viewable in your own currency.
Do you arrange both Sikh and Hindu wedding ceremonies?+
Yes. We book the granthi and gurdwara for an anand karaj or the pandit for phere, confirm the muhurat with your family astrologer, and prepare the complete samagri list in advance.
Can you help with marriage registration and legal paperwork for NRIs?+
We guide you through the document checklist for marriage registration in India, coordinate with local offices and schedule appointments so the paperwork is completed within your trip.
How early should we contact you before the wedding?+
Six to nine months before the wedding is ideal, as the best venues and dates in Punjab get booked early. Even with two to three months in hand, contact us and we will tell you honestly what can be arranged.
How do we start?+
Email us at [email protected] with your wedding dates, the city in India where you want the functions, your approximate guest count and budget. Our team replies with a plan and a video-call slot within one working day.
