What a wedding planner must get right for a Jain wedding

Scheduling the reception dinner for 20:30 because that is when receptions happen, leaving the guests who keep chauvihar with nothing to eat.

The requirements

Specific and checkable. Take this list to any wedding planner in your city.

  • Build the timeline backwards from sunset, not forwards from the muhurat
  • Know that Paryushan and other observance periods block dates entirely
  • Plan a quieter sangeet — the register runs lighter than a Hindu or Marwari equivalent and a loud one reads as the wrong wedding

Ask them this

Word for word. The answers tell you more than the portfolio does.

  • “How many Jain weddings have you run, and can you name the functions in order?”
  • “How do you handle the sunset cut-off when the pheras run late?”

Who has confirmed they do this

Nobody yet — we are still calling. We speak to around 150 Gujarat wedding vendors a week, and we are now asking each one whether they meet this brief. Only vendors who tell us yes, directly, will appear here.

We could have filled this section by guessing which businesses are Jain from their names. That would have been quicker and it would have been made up. The list below stays empty until it is real.

Are you a wedding planner who meets this brief? Tell us and we will list you. No fee, now or ever.
