Our Story

Why We Started Vivahnam

A wedding should begin with excitement, not uncertainty. But for most families, it doesn't, at least not at first.

Instead, it feels like endless back-and-forth calls, a lack of clarity and the nagging worry that you might not be making the right choice. With 11+ years in the wedding industry, our founder, Sahil Kathuria, who is also the founder and CEO of Varmalla, has seen what trips families up most: venue booking and price negotiation.

The confusion, the time lost and the constant tussle of not knowing if you're getting a fair deal. After seeing this pattern repeat across hundreds of families, it became clear that this wasn’t a one-off problem; it was the system. Having witnessed this firsthand, Sahil built Vivahnam to address this one critical step: helping families find the right hotel, negotiate with confidence, and begin their wedding planning on solid ground.

Why We Started Vivahnam

Our Mission & Vision

Our Our Mission

To empower families to navigate one of the earliest and most challenging steps of destination wedding planning: selecting the perfect venue.

Too many families lose hours and peace of mind to opaque pricing and endless venue calls. We're here to flip this equation.
Vivahnam helps you find and book the right destination wedding venue with complete transparency, fair pricing and guaranteed better inclusions from the hotel. We don’t just help you book a venue; instead, we make sure you know exactly why it’s the right one. No hidden surprises or undue pressure, just honest guidance from people who've spent over a decade in this industry, so you can plan your wedding with confidence right from day one.

To be the trusted destination for planning destination weddings, helping Indian and international families create their most important day with confidence and ease.

We're building something the wedding industry has long needed: a space families can truly rely on.
We want to change how weddings are planned in India, where transparency is the baseline expected. Our goal is to support over 1 lakh+ families and be a part of at least 10,000 weddings every year, not just as a booking platform, but as a trusted partner through one of life's biggest celebrations. Every recommendation we make is rooted in experience, honesty and a genuine commitment to getting it right for you.
