Wedding Planning Startup The Wedding Company Raises $1M to Scale Operations in India

Wedding planning startup The Wedding Company has raised $1 million in a pre-seed round co-led by LVX (formerly LetsVenture) and Tremis Capital. The funding round also saw participation from prominent angel investors including Wakefit co-founder Chaitanya Ramalingegowda, Ajith Pai, and Dropbox co-founder Arash Ferdowsi.

Founded in 2023 by Pawan Gupta and Rahul Namdev, The Wedding Company aims to digitize and streamline the massive $130 billion Indian wedding market. The platform allows couples to plan, book, and execute weddings seamlessly by connecting them with verified vendors across services like venues, décor, photography, catering, and logistics.

Currently operational in eight cities, the company has already executed over 1,000 weddings, managing service orders worth more than ₹60 crore (~$7.2 million). Monthly bookings now exceed ₹10 crore in Gross Order Value (GOV), and the company is generating over ₹1 crore in net monthly revenue.

The newly acquired funds will be used to expand into new cities, strengthen the product and tech stack, and develop a scalable vendor partner network. This network will help standardize service delivery and improve operational efficiency, which is critical for managing large-scale weddings.

Co-founder Pawan Gupta emphasized the lack of a tech-first brand offering standardized wedding fulfillment across India. With increasing demand and rising complexity in Indian weddings, the company aims to become the go-to platform for end-to-end wedding planning and execution.

The Wedding Company is targeting 3x revenue growth in FY26, aiming to hit ₹120 crore in annual revenue. As it scales, the startup competes with other players in the space including Meragi, Weddingz.in, Wedding Cloud, Shaadilogy, and Shaadi Baraati Event Management.

By combining technology with deep operational execution, wedding planning startup The Wedding Company is positioning itself as a key player in transforming how Indian weddings are managed—bringing structure and scalability to one of the country’s most culturally and economically significant sectors.
