FAQs

       Do I need a Wedding Planner?

Can I afford a Wedding Planner? Are wedding planners an added expense?
Wedding Planners help you get the best possible services with your specific budget, regardless of it’s size. This translates into savings.  A planner’s knowledge can also help in negotiating the details of services received for each rupee spent, getting the highest quality you can afford.  The planner’s fee can be largely recouped in the savings realized by their knowledge.

How does a wedding planner work?
It is a common misconception that a wedding planner will “take over” your wedding and you will turn up on the day wondering what happened to all of your ideas and dreams. At Tristar we do as much or as little as you require, and we never make any decisions for you. We consult with you from the outset to gain a thorough understanding of what you want for your wedding, and work closely with you throughout the planning process to ensure you remain in overall control.

We’ve already started planning our wedding – can we still use a planner?
 Absolutely! We can be involved at any stage of your planning, whether you’ve just started out and have only booked your venue, or you’ve planned the entire event, whether it’s locally in Mumbai or a destination wedding and just want someone there on the day to manage the arrangements and ensure everything runs smoothly 

Do we have to use your recommended suppliers?
 No! This is your wedding and you have the final say when it comes to choosing your venue and suppliers. We recommend suppliers that we believe meet your requirements and offer exceptional service, but you are entitled to use any service provider you wish. We guarantee to work with all your suppliers with a high degree of professionalism, irrespective of whether or not we have recommended their services. We operate independently and do not accept any form of commission from suppliers – any form of discount will always be passed directly to you

         How do you charge for your services?
 Each couple’s needs, ideas, and budgets are different. We have a flat fee per event based upon the typical services required of us, and then we can customize a plan that works within your budget. Under the flat fee rate we will complete all the work that we have agreed to do regardless of how long it takes us to complete, it is like an all-inclusive plan. 

Your packages don’t cover exactly what we want – can you offer something completely bespoke?
In a word, yes! Our listed services are based upon what we believe are the more common areas where couples require assistance, but we recognise that your wedding is unique and our listed options may not be exactly what you are looking for. We will happily design a personal package that meets your requirements – please contact us so that we can discuss the services you require 

How far in advance should we book our wedding?
 At Tristar, we usually book weddings 4-6 months or even one year in advance of your wedding date. For larger weddings, we recommend 9-12 months in advance. But we will always advise that the earlier you get started the better to guarantee the venue you desire
