katha - the storymakers
Every wedding has a story to tell of a couple starting a life together, of dreams and hopes that become one.
But we know that a wedding is not just about the trousseau or the caterers. Or the locale or guest accommodations. It's about everything that leads to the big day... that auspicious start to the most intimate phase of life you'll forever look back upon, fondly. A wedding's for you to sit back and glow in anticipation of the life ahead, even as the tiny details are taken care of, so that the big things can take care of themselves.We are the best wedding planners in Bangalore who conceive stylish and exclusive weddings.
We believe that every wedding needs to be laced together and narrated for posterity. And who better to weave that story than the wedding planners, living through those moments as closely as the bride and groom, juggling tasks, as excited and helpful as their family and friends?
That's where we come in. We are Katha, YOUR Story Makers

Antara and team did a fantastic job for our wedding 3 weeks ago. It was a 3 day event and we still can’t get over how beautifully the decor was done for our Mehendi, Muhurtham and Reception. The decor, planning and timing went great! Antara was flexible and very patient in working with us especially after we have been in touch over WhatsApp for over 4 months since we live overseas. It was a pleasure working with her and hope to have another event in the future with Katha Weddings! Great work, well executed and good luck for all your future events!

Antara was just amazing helping us plan everything. Me and my wife, had a vague idea of what we wanted for our wedding.. and Antara gave us tonnes of options with visuals, every time we mentioned something... At the end, the decor of the venue for all our events was splendid. Antara's team meticulously planned and executed picking our guests coming in and going back, and getting them checked in. Overall super impressed with the professionalism and also, the creativity they brought. Thanks guys!

Antara & her team helped us primarily with out-station guest management and decor for some events for my brother's wedding. And I am not exaggerating if I say that they were god-sent. They were professional from the start. Amongst the several "popular" wedding organizers I contacted, Antara was the first to respond and the most professional in her approach. Never said "no" to anything. And kept calm and cheerful through all the mess and confusion! Guests were so impressed that they are planning to steal Antara from Bangalore to their different destinations to plan their weddings :) I should particularly mention that they inspire a lot of confidence by ensuring that there is proper account maintained for everything. My family and I are very thankful to Antara & her team for their great work!

“All I wanted was My dream wedding but for my Sister! I had it all in my head and like a mind reader I saw all of it just unfurl right in front of my eyes! It was everything I had hoped for and more. Antara and her team were absolute darlings through all of it and I could not have made a better choice! Wish I could get married again just to have you guys do your magic!
Thanks again for making this experience the best ever and putting up with my whims and fancies and also just being such a good friend through it. Every guest loved the experience and a lot of them call us even 2 months later to tell us how amazing everything was! “

The detail oriented bride that I am, I approached Katha weddings with an extremely meticulous account of the type of wedding decor and experience I wanted. Antara did not just tell me she would do it, she explained how she would do it and also made additional suggestions (within my Budget) to better the whole wedding experience I was looking for. The value-add that came from her experience was unquestionable!
We were won over by Antara's sweetness and calm disposition. From the moment we met her we knew we could rely on her. And she definitely delivered! The wedding ran smoothly, the decor was beautiful, the guests were raving about the entire experience; a bride and her groom could not ask for anything more!
Antara's professionalism is worthy of mentioning. She understood what I wanted well, and also made suggestions to improve the overall wedding experience and ran through every single element of the wedding programme prior to the real day itself. Our last minute requests (emergency pagdi cloth moment) were also handled with extreme ease!
Overall, we are very happy with Antara and Katha Weddings . Thank you so much for making our wedding so much more memorable.

Thanks for managing so much of my wedding. I will absolutely recommend you to everyone I know.

There are so many things I need to applaud you and your team for, but let's begin from the start.
INITIAL CONTACT You were super prompt with responding to my initial inquiry and very patiently sat through my 3 hour brain storming session the first day itself.
BUDGETI think with weddings, it's really important for a decorator to understand the capability of the client and stick to it. And you did exactly that, I was able to be very honest about how much money I had to splurge and you were very forthcoming and realistic about what I can get for that price. That being said, I appreciate that you went out of your way to help minimize the cost without sacrificing on quality of the outcome.
RESPONSE TIME I think I must've called you at least 20 times in that time before the wedding and each time you were so patient with me, discussing every point, however unrealistic ;) And just very fast with your responses and revised costs.
ORGANIZED This is something I really appreciated about Katha Weddings and that is your budget sheet. It was so detailed and clear, I knew exactly where each rupee was going. It was so much easier to just figure out where to cut, where to add and I think it was very professionally done. There was no question of hidden costs at the last minute.
BEFORE THE BIG DAYSanjiv was kind enough to come to my mehendi function the day before to do a rerun of the decor for the wedding and just assure me that your team knew exactly what needed to be done and had it all handled. I think that really just helped me stop worrying about the decor cause I could trust you guys with it completely. It also helped me start enjoying my wedding.
ON THE DAY When I came to the venue at 4am, your team was well ahead of schedule. By 6am, on the dot, as discussed, everything was ready to go and boy did it make me want to cry (from happiness of course). Everything looked so delicate and beautiful, exactly the way we had discussed. There were absolutely no issues with anything. You even managed to get your team to come and set up the shade when it got too hot, even though you were on your honeymoon.
ATTITUDE Any bride who takes charge of handling every aspect of the wedding, knows how stressful it can be. And decorations are the biggest visible factor at any wedding. What I can add here is the way you handled me was great. Just so patient, calm and always with a smile on your face. No matter what the situation was, your cheerful tone never changed. More importantly, you were very actively encouraging the ideas I had, and just coming up with cost effective solutions to help achieve it. Don't ever lose that positive attitude!
To be honest, when you told me that you are getting married the weekend before my wedding I got really stressed. How does a wedding planner plan another person wedding the weekend after their own? But I must say, all that stress was for nothing. You and your team did an absolutely splendid job. Everything was seamlessly organized. Every person who came there appreciated the decor at Temple Tree. And most importantly, thank you so much for making our wedding exactly, if not better than what wanted it to be! :) Best of luck with all your future endeavors. PS - I'm sorry if there's anything I missed out mentioning. But know that the efforts of you and team, however small or big were appreciated :)

Katha Weddings did an amazing job at our wedding. The smallest details were taken care of and every bridezilla-esque whim catered to! I never expected to sit back and enjoy my own wedding, but these guys helped me do just that! It also helps that Antara is an absolute darling and a pleasure to work with :)

"Decoration was done beautifully and acknowledged by many visitors at our Residence - Sanghvi Haveli. Your professionalism during execution of decoration was commendable and was positively discussed amongst the family members. Our guests were extremely delighted with the kind of help and hospitality extended by your team during their stay at Hotel Sayonara. Your decisions taken to help our guests pertaining to logistics or room supplies was appreciated. Your creative team gave good options in time to finalise logo and formats. Their output in hard copy was up to the mark. Your ppt presentation made it clear to us of our expectations in terms of decor. Coordination between your team members was good. Timeliness of vendors and supplies was maintained. Cleanliness and decency was maintained by your staff at all times. We are completely satisfied with your work and would surely recommend your company to others in case of any other events."

"My special thanks to Antara and Sanjiv for a FANTASTIC job done. You guys pulled off our wedding event so very well. There was absolutely no room for complaints. Nishtha and I wanted a wedding that was WOW, we wanted something different and we wanted to make all our guests feel special. You guys made all of this possible. You not only delivered over and above the brief but also your personal attention to detail and your desire to ensure that everything went well without any interruptions is well appreciated. Antara, the amount of coordination and running around you did for this event was simply super-super. And that too with a smile and high-energy levels... just amazing. This high level client service you demonstrated is simply commendable." All the Best to Katha Weddings....
