Plan a Punjabi wedding without the chaos.
A Punjabi wedding isn't one event — it's a week of them, each with its own host, budget and family politics. This is a personalized $99 CAD blueprintyou build yourself: every event you're actually holding, mapped in order, with the family roles assigned by name and the vendors sequenced so nothing collides. Delivered as a PDF in 48–72 hours.

Every event, in the right order
Before you book anything, you decide which of these you're actually holding. The blueprint is built from your answer — not a generic “do everything” template.
Roka / Chunni
The formal commitment between families — sometimes months ahead, sometimes part of the week.
Maiyan / Vatna
Turmeric ceremony at home, 1–3 days before the Anand Karaj. Family only — but someone has to host it.
Choora & Kalire
The bride's red bangles — morning of the Anand Karaj or the night before.
Mehndi & Sangeet
Often one big night of henna, music and choreographed dances. Usually the biggest 'fun' budget line.
Jaggo
Late-night procession with the lit pots and dhol, led by the masi. The night before.
Anand Karaj
The ceremony at the Gurdwara on the wedding morning. Everything else is timed around it.
Doli & Reception
The send-off, then the evening reception — same day, separate day, or a second one in the bride's city.
The part no Western planner handles: family roles
Generic wedding planning assumes one couple making decisions. A Punjabi wedding is two families, a dozen functions, and a stack of unspoken expectations about who hosts what. The blueprint turns that into a one-page family responsibility tracker — who runs the maiyan, who leads the jaggo, who represents each side at the milni, who coordinates the langar, who handles shagan and envelopes. Assigned by name, shared two months out, settled before anyone's in their outfits.
Most family conflict at a Punjabi wedding isn't about values — it's about decisions made in the wrong order and expectations no one wrote down. A plan everyone has seen settles most of it before it starts.

Frequently asked questions
How many events does a Punjabi wedding actually have?
A full Punjabi wedding can run roka, maiyan, choora, mehndi, sangeet, jaggo, the Anand Karaj, doli and a reception — but almost no family does all of them. The first job of planning is deciding which events you're genuinely holding, because the number of events is the single biggest driver of your total budget.
What's the hardest part of planning a Punjabi wedding?
Family coordination, not vendors. Every event has someone who's supposed to run it — the maiyan host, the jaggo lead, the milni representatives, the langar coordinator. When those roles aren't assigned by name, they default to whoever shouts loudest on the day. The blueprint assigns them in writing, two months out.
Is this different from your Sikh wedding planner?
Same blueprint, different emphasis. The Sikh wedding planner page focuses on the Anand Karaj and the planner-versus-DIY decision. This one focuses on the multi-event side and family logistics. Your personalized blueprint covers both — you only buy once.
We're combining some events to save money. Will the plan handle that?
Yes. The blueprint is built from your actual event list. If you're folding mehndi into the sangeet, or skipping a separate roka, the plan reflects that — and shows you where combining events saves real money versus where it just compresses the stress.
How fast is it and what does it cost?
