Here are top wedding-planning apps that work well for Indian weddings (large guest lists, multiple events — mehndi, sangeet, pheras, reception — and vendor sourcing). I list each app with what it’s best for and a quick note on strengths.
- WedMeGood — best for Indian vendor discovery & real-wedding inspiration
- Why use it: huge Indian vendor directory (photographers, decorators, caterers, venues), regional filters, and thousands of real-wedding galleries and reviews to copy looks and vendors. Good for sourcing culturally specific vendors and styles. (Wedd.Ai)
- ShaadiSaga / WeddingBazaar (ShaadiSaga’s app) — Indian wedding organizer + guest/photography features
- Why use it: India-focused wedding app that supports invite codes, guest RSVP, event directions, photo-collection from guests, and wedding websites — helpful for making a private wedding app/space for your guests. (ShaadiSaga has also evolved/branched into marketplace apps listed as WeddingBazaar/partners.) (deccanchronicle.com)
- Joy — best for guest management, schedules and shared photo albums
- Why use it: free wedding website + mobile app with strong guest management (personalized schedules, RSVPs, travel details), unlimited shared photo albums and messaging — useful when you need to coordinate travel and multiple events across guests. (withjoy.com)
- Zola — best all-in-one planner (guest list + registry + vendor search)
- Why use it: free wedding websites, guest-list and RSVP tracking, vendor discovery, budget tool and registry — a solid one-stop planner for modern couples (works worldwide; many features helpful for multi-day events). (Zola.com)
- WeddingWire / WeddingWire India — strong for guest lists, seating, and vendor reviews
- Why use it: well-known planning tools (guest-list manager, seating charts, vendor listings and reviews). WeddingWire’s tools make it easier to track multiple-event RSVPs and meal choices common at Indian weddings. (WeddingSignal.com)
Other useful options (short mentions)
- Appy Couple / The Knot — good for polished wedding websites, invites, RSVP and seating charts (The Knot and Appy Couple are popular among couples who want design-forward websites and invitation suites). (Zola.com)
- Local Indian marketplace apps (various vendor apps such as WeddingBazaar/Wedniks/WedMeGood categories) — often useful for region-specific vendors and vendor-side tools. (apps.apple.com)
Quick recommendations for what to pick
- If you need Indian vendor listings and styling inspiration first: start with WedMeGood + ShaadiSaga/WeddingBazaar.
- If you need strong guest management, schedules and photo-collection across multi-day events: add Joy.
- If you want an all-in-one website + registry + RSVP experience (especially for US/abroad guests): Zola or The Knot.
- Use WeddingWire (or local equivalents) to compare vendors, read reviews, and manage RSVPs/seating.
If you want, I can:
- recommend a 2–3 app combo tailored to your wedding size, location (India vs. US), and priorities (vendors vs. guest logistics), or
- compare pricing/features of 2 apps you’re deciding between.
