Everyone knows how tedious is it to plan and choose a proper professional for their big day. Arthi too had much confusion when it comes to choosing her perfect vendor. From prices to their availability and many more doubts like every other bride. Let’s get into it and know how eventsdo made it effortless.

Arthi approached us just a month before her wedding to inquire about the rates for stage decors and bridal makeup. With no time we have enquired about our premium vendors who are best suitable for her. As per her needs, we shortlisted and contacted them to know their availability for the date in such a short span. Luckily for her, three of our premium vendors were available for the dates. We right away shared their latest and best works to Arthi.

Arthi then sorted them according to her taste which she finds fittest for her Telegu Brahmin theme. She was then interested to include DJ & Shinkari Melam in her wedding which we had a variety of options in various price ranges. We helped her in finding and knowing the best rates in the market.
