Here are several Pondicherry (Puducherry) wedding planners and event teams that list budget-friendly / lower starting fees. I’ve included a rough price indicator from public listings and a short tip for contacting each — ask them for a detailed package and an itemized quote to confirm what’s included.

1. Magical Touch Eventz — listed planning fee range ₹50,000–99,999; suitable for weddings under ₹10 lakh. Good for full-service or partial planning on a modest budget. (WeddingWire.in)

2. Classy Events Management — shown on local vendor listings with very low “from” pricing (entry-level services often start in the low thousands for basic coordination/decor). Confirm what “from” covers (day-of coordination vs full planning). (WeddingWire.in)

3. Magicmomentzz — appears on local vendor directories with low starting prices (often quoted from ₹10,000 for smaller services). Useful for small weddings, decor-only or day-of coordination. (WeddingWire.in)

4. Sigaram Events — local Pondicherry event company with budget package options (directory listings show low entry prices). Good to get multiple quotes and compare. (WeddingWire.in)

5. Happy Couples (wedding decorators/planners) — listed starting price around ₹100,000 and up; boutique option that can work within mid-range budgets if you prioritize decor and planning together. (WedMeGood.com)

6. Local/neighbourhood organisers on Justdial / Sulekha / WedMeGood — these marketplaces list many small, affordable organisers and allow you to request shortlists and compare quotes (good when you want strict budget control). Expect basic full-service starts ~₹75,000–1,50,000 and smaller-day services lower. (Justdial.com)

Quick tips to keep costs down and pick an “affordable” planner:

• Ask for package options (day-of coordination, partial planning, a la carte services) — day-of coordination is much cheaper than full-service. (WeddingWire.in)
• Give them a firm per-guest catering budget and a clear list of must-haves vs nice-to-haves. (Govivah.com)
• Compare at least 3 quotes and ask for an itemised estimate (venue, decor, catering, staffing, transport, taxes). (Coohom.com)
• Consider weekday or off-season dates for lower venue and vendor rates. (Coohom.com)

Would you like me to:

• Find contact details (phone / WhatsApp / website) for any of the specific planners above?
• Or shortlist affordable planners matching a specific budget (for example: up to ₹150,000 total or up to ₹500,000)?

If you want specific phone numbers or websites, tell me which names and I’ll pull current contact details and recent reviews.
