Hidden line items
Service charges, F&B minimums, tax-on-tax, overtime and vendor meals turn a quoted venue into a much larger bill - buried on page three of a contract nobody re-reads.
For multi-day Indian & destination weddings
A wedding that spans days deserves one calm plan.
Sangeet, mehndi, the ceremony, the reception - DoDeewane turns your signed contracts into a single budget, timeline, and guest plan. Less spreadsheet chaos, fewer surprises, more of the celebration you actually came for.

Your whole celebration on one thread
Most tools handle a single wedding day. Yours has 5-9 functions, three venues, and 20+ vendors handing off to each other. DoDeewane keeps every function tied to one timeline.

Where it goes wrong
The chaos isn't the celebration - it's everything holding it up
Once you pass a dozen vendors, a spreadsheet quietly stops working. The details that break Indian weddings hide in the fine print, the handoffs, and the headcounts.
Coverage gaps & overlaps
Your photographer's hours end before the reception. The lighting strike collides with the décor reset. No spreadsheet cross-checks contracted hours against the run-of-show.
Guest headcounts that never match
80 at the haldi, 180 at the sangeet, 280 at the reception. One RSVP change and you're hand-editing rooms, shuttles and catering counts across a dozen tabs.

How DoDeewane works
Nine things that make a multi-day wedding simple
From the first event you add to the last task you tick off, everything lives in one plan - no re-typing, no guesswork.
01 - Events
Plan your events
Haldi, mehndi, sangeet, the ceremony, the reception - set up every function with its own date, venue, guest list and vendors, then see them side by side on one timeline. Each event is its own plan; the wedding is the sum of them.
- Per-event date, venue, timings & run-of-show
- Vendors and guests assigned event by event
- One master timeline across every function
02 - Vendor contracts
Manage your vendor contracts using AI
Upload a vendor or venue contract and DoDeewane reads it - pulling the total cost, deposit schedule, coverage hours, deliverables and the clauses that bite. Your budget fills itself with the true figure, service charge and all, and payment dates become reminders.
03 - Milestones
Plan your wedding with pre-defined milestones to make your planning simple
You don't have to know what comes next. DoDeewane lays out the phases of a multi-day wedding - book venues, lock vendors, send invites, finalise headcounts - as milestones with the tasks that belong to each, timed back from your wedding date.
- Phase-by-phase milestones built for multi-event weddings
- Every milestone comes with its tasks already listed
- Readiness at a glance: what's done, due, and overdue
04 - Guests
Manage your guest lists with ease
80 at the haldi, 180 at the sangeet, 280 at the reception. Keep one guest list, invite each guest to the events they belong to, and let RSVPs, rooms and transport follow - instead of hand-editing a dozen tabs every time a plan changes.
- One list, per-event invitations & RSVPs
- Room blocks and transport tied to who's coming
- Headcounts per event, always current
05 - Unified view
Reduce the spreadsheet clutter and have a unified view
Budget, vendors, venues, guests, timeline and tasks all live in one place and talk to each other. Change a headcount and the catering line updates; sign a contract and the payment schedule appears. One view of the whole wedding, not twelve tabs that disagree.
06 - Tasks
Manage your tasks so nothing gets left behind
A shared task board with clear owners and due dates replaces the group-chat sprawl. Add your partner, parents and planner, assign what's theirs, and watch it move from to-do to done - with payment and deadline reminders pulled straight from your contracts.
- Board view: tasks, status, assignee, comments
- Invite family and planners with the right access
- Payment-due and cutoff reminders from every contract
07 - Décor & entertainment
Plan décor and entertainment for every function
Mandap, stage, florals, lighting, DJ, dhol, sangeet performances and the reception band - each function has its own look and its own acts. DoDeewane keeps the brief, the vendors and the run-of-show together so a reset or a set change does not collide with the next event.
- Per-function décor boards, palettes and vendor briefs
- Entertainment line-ups tied to the shared run-of-show
- Load-in, reset and set times that other vendors can see
08 - Everyone connected
Planner, vendors, family and guests on one platform
The bride, the groom, the wedding planner, every vendor, family helping plan, and the guests themselves share one wedding - each with the view that belongs to them. No more forwarding spreadsheets or asking who has the latest headcount.
- Couple and family plan together, with the right access
- Planner workspace across every couple they run
- Vendors see their brief; guests see their events and RSVP
09 - One platform
Keep the tools. Change where the truth lives.
A wedding currently lives in 28 places - WhatsApp and email, Google Sheets and Drive, Pinterest and Canva, Venmo and invoices, Spotify and the DJ list, shot lists and albums, floor plans and hotel blocks. DoDeewane does not ask you to throw those away. It becomes the one place the budget, the guest list, the run-of-show and the show order agree.
- Upload a contract, paste a sheet, attach a look, or link a video
- One budget, one guest list, one run-of-show for the whole week
- People, paperwork, money, music, photos, décor and travel in one workspace
Where DoDeewane fits
The marketplaces help you book. We help you pull it off.
The Knot and Zola are built for discovery - finding and booking vendors. Planner software is built for pros. Nobody built the couple a command center for after the contracts are signed. We did.
