Frequently Asked Questions About Shaandaar Events

Learn More About Our Wedding Planning Approach

Who is Shaandaar Events?

Shaandaar Events is a luxury and destination wedding planning company founded in Chandigarh in 2018 by Karan Bains. The team plans and manages personalised weddings across India and international destinations, with a focus on thoughtful design, guest experience, hospitality, logistics, vendor coordination and seamless execution. Shaandaar Events works with couples who want their wedding to feel personal, well organised and reflective of their story rather than following a standard template.

When was Shaandaar Events founded?

Shaandaar Events was founded in 2018 in Chandigarh by Karan Bains. What began as a small vision to create more personal and meaningful celebrations has grown into a wedding planning company working across major wedding destinations in India and abroad. The company continues to follow the same principle: taking on a limited number of weddings so the planning team can remain closely involved throughout the celebration.

Who is Karan Bains, the founder of Shaandaar Events?

Karan Bains is the founder and owner of Shaandaar Events and has been involved in creating weddings and celebrations since founding the company in 2018. His planning philosophy centres on creating weddings that feel personal rather than simply focusing on scale or extravagance. Under his direction, Shaandaar Events has grown from its Chandigarh beginnings to planning celebrations across India and international destinations.

What types of weddings does Shaandaar Events plan?

Shaandaar Events plans luxury weddings, destination weddings, royal weddings, intimate celebrations and multi-day wedding experiences. Depending on the couple's requirements, the team can coordinate elements such as venue selection, wedding design and décor, hospitality, guest logistics, entertainment, vendor management and on-ground execution. Weddings are planned around the couple's preferences, traditions, guest experience and destination rather than a fixed format.

Where does Shaandaar Events plan destination weddings?

Shaandaar Events plans destination weddings across India and selected international destinations. Its work spans destinations including Jaipur, Udaipur, Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, Goa, Mussoorie and other Indian wedding locations, as well as international destinations such as Dubai, Tuscany, Bali, the Maldives and Thailand. The team works with couples to plan the venue, design, guest experience, hospitality, logistics and wedding-day execution according to the destination and celebration requirements.

How does Shaandaar Events personalise each wedding?

Personalisation begins with understanding the couple, their families, traditions and the experience they want their guests to have. Shaandaar Events develops wedding concepts around these details, from décor and colour palettes to stationery, entertainment, hospitality and guest experiences. The planning team works closely with each couple throughout the process so the final celebration feels distinctive and connected to their story rather than like a standard wedding package.

How many weddings does Shaandaar Events take on each year?

Shaandaar Events takes on a maximum of around 20-25 weddings each year. We intentionally keep our calendar limited so that our team can remain closely involved with every couple and give each wedding the time, attention and personalisation it deserves. From the initial planning conversations and creative direction to vendor coordination, guest experience and on-ground execution, we stay closely connected throughout the journey. For us, taking on fewer weddings means being able to focus more deeply on the couples we work with and create celebrations that genuinely feel personal to them.

What makes Shaandaar Events different from other wedding planners?

Shaandaar Events combines personalised wedding design with detailed planning, hospitality, logistics and on-ground execution. The team deliberately limits the number of weddings it takes on, allowing greater involvement throughout the planning journey. Its experience across luxury resorts, royal venues, beach destinations and international locations also allows the planning approach to be adapted to different destinations, cultures and celebration styles. The focus is on creating weddings that feel personal, well coordinated and meaningful rather than simply large or elaborate.

Do Shaandaar Events offer only luxurious wedding planning services?

Certainly not. No matter whether your wedding plans include a small-scale event or an international destination celebration, our services will be equally attentive and high-quality. We believe luxury means quality of experience rather than the scale of the celebration.

Is it possible to plan a wedding if we are currently living abroad from India?

Sure. We often deal with clients from all over the world, helping them to celebrate their weddings regardless of where the planning is done. Our specialists will assist you in organizing everything necessary and will keep you informed throughout the whole process.

How much involvement do you see in the wedding planning process?

As much involvement as you want us to be. We collaborate closely with you from the initial discussion all the way to the actual event, ensuring that your ideas are taken into account in every important decision made while managing the logistics in the background.

In which locations does Shaandaar Events plan weddings?

We plan weddings throughout India and abroad as well, and we cover destinations such as Jaipur, Udaipur, Jodhpur, Goa, Mussoorie, Dubai, Bali, Maldives, Tuscany, and Thailand, among others. Do let us know which destination you have in mind.

What can you expect when you contact Shaandaar Events for the first time?

It starts with a conversation. We shall learn more about your wedding idea, preferred destination, guest strength, tentative dates, expectations, and everything else to figure out how best to assist you.

What does a “Shaandaar” wedding mean?

A Shaandaar wedding is simply not about making the event more extravagant. It is all about making it more elegant and unforgettable, where all the details feel personal, and the whole celebration tells your story.
