About Karan Bains

When I started Shaandaar Events in 2016, I was just one person with a big dream in the city of Chandigarh. No connections, no network-just a vision to create weddings that weren’t about scale, but about soul.

From the very beginning, I knew I didn’t want Shaandaar to be limited by geography. My dream was never just Chandigarh, or even just India-it was to build a brand that could craft unforgettable celebrations anywhere in the world. Because love knows no boundaries, and neither should the way we celebrate it.

At Shaandaar Events, every wedding we plan is treated like it’s the only one that matters-because to us, it truly is. With over 100 weddings behind us, what keeps us grounded is our decision to take on only a limited number of weddings each year. This allows us to give every couple our complete attention-to be present, to be available, and most importantly, to be emotionally involved. We aren’t just planners; we become part of your journey. From the very first meeting to the final pheras, we stand beside you-not just as professionals, but as people who genuinely care.

The journey hasn’t been easy. Covid brought some of the toughest challenges, but it also reinforced what we always believed: weddings are not about extravagance, they’re about people, families, and moments that last forever.

Today, Shaandaar Events is proud to have grown far beyond where it began. But no matter where in the world we go, our core will always remain the same-to create weddings that are deeply personal, beautifully crafted, and remembered for a lifetime.

Because for us, this has never been just a business-it’s a promise, a passion, and a vision that continues to grow beyond borders.

Awards & Recognition:

Over the years, our personal and professional commitment has earned us love from clients and recognition across the industry. We’ve been honored as the Best Wedding Planner of 2025 by WeddingSutra, awarded Best Wedding Planner of 2024 by The New Indian Express, recognized for Excellence in Destination Weddings by WedMeGood, and featured among the Top 10 Wedding Planners in India by WeddingWire.in.

But for us, the real reward is when a couple tells us we made their wedding feel like them.

That’s what Shaandaar stands for- celebrations that are personal, unforgettable, and redefining class.
