The whole shaadi, one budget

What ShaadiBook does

An Indian wedding is never one event. It is a haldi, a mehndi, a sangeet, the pheras and a reception — each with its own venue, caterer, decorator and outfit bill. ShaadiBook is built for exactly that shape: create a function, give it a budget, add line items, and the app rolls everything up into one honest shaadi total you can actually defend to your family.

The vendor ledger is the heart of it. Indian vendors work on advances — a token to block the date, another instalment before the event, the balance in cash on the day. ShaadiBook tracks the booked amount, every advance you have paid, and the balance still due for each vendor, with due dates, so you walk into the wedding week knowing precisely who is owed what.

Then there is the guest-count question that decides everything. Enter a per-plate rate for each function and slide the headcount: 300 guests, 400, 500 — ShaadiBook recalculates catering instantly and lets you add a buffer for the plus-ones nobody announced. And because shaadis are paid for by more than one household, the contributions screen records what each side pledged and what has actually come in, mapped against the total, so the awkward money conversation happens once instead of at every invoice.

ShaadiBook is completely offline. No account, no sign-in, no server — everything is stored on your phone with SwiftData and never leaves it. Your family's wedding finances are nobody else's business.

What's inside

• Function budgets — Create each wedding function (haldi, mehndi, sangeet, pheras, reception, or custom) with its own budget and category line items (venue, catering, decor, outfits, photo); the home screen rolls all functions into one shaadi total with budget vs actual.
• Vendor ledger — Each vendor carries a booked amount and a payment ledger: log every advance with date and method, see the running balance due, and set the final-payment due date; a payments timeline lists upcoming dues across all vendors.
• Guest scenarios — Set a per-plate rate and base guest count per function, then drag a headcount slider to compare scenarios side by side, including a configurable plus-one buffer percentage, with the catering impact reflected in the function budget.
• Contributions — Record contributing households (bride's side, groom's side, the couple, relatives) with pledged amounts and received payments, and show a pie of who is funding what share of the total against money actually collected.

Why we built it

A multi-day Indian wedding means separate budgets for haldi, mehndi, sangeet, pheras and reception, vendors who all take staggered advances with cash balances due on the day, catering totals that swing lakhs with every change in guest count, and two or three households contributing money — and no tool tracks that stru…

What makes it different

Portfolio: Shagun is a gift-money ledger for cash received at events, and Mehndi is a business app for henna artists — ShaadiBook is the opposite side of the wedding: the family's outbound budget, modelling functions, vendor advance schedules, guest-count scenarios and family contributions. Market: WedMeGood and Weddi…

Who it's for
