Quick Answer
What is a WhatsApp concierge for weddings?
A WhatsApp concierge is an AI agent trained on the specific wedding (venue, timings, dress code, travel, dietary, accommodation) that answers guest questions on WhatsApp 24x7, falls back to a human coordinator on unknown queries, and absorbs 70-80% of repeated guest FAQs.

Human takeover on unknown queries
Your guests install nothing. They already have WhatsApp open.
The WhatsApp Concierge is a real WhatsApp chat — not a chatbot with a green skin. Voice notes, photos, videos, PDFs, stickers, location pins, contact cards: every message type your guests already use works here. Venue, pickup, timings, dress code, RSVP, tickets — every wedding detail, answered in the same chat where you sent the invite.
Works on every phone, from a ₹7,000 smartphone to an iPhone. Works on 2G. Works in Hindi, English, Hinglish, and every major Indian regional language. And it's free for every guest, forever.

It really is WhatsApp. And it's free for every guest.
Most “chat-based guest portals” are chatbots on a web page wearing a WhatsApp-green skin. The Concierge isn't. It runs on WhatsApp's real platform, so every message type your guests already use works exactly the same way it does in a family group chat.
Everything a guest can send or receive
₹8,499
For you, once
₹0
Per guest, forever
No SMS charges. No app subscription. No premium tier. A guest in Ranchi on a ₹200/month phone plan pays exactly what a guest in New York pays — nothing. WhatsApp doesn't charge them for chat, and neither do we.
What guests never have to do
Every other guest-facing tool — wedding websites, RSVP apps, Google Forms, email confirmations — asks guests to pick up a new habit. Most guests don't. Especially the ones over 55, in Tier-2 cities, or on their first smartphone.
Six things guests don't do
Install an app
28 MB + 3 permission requests
Create an account
Email → password → verification code
Fill a form
14 fields on a laggy mobile web form

That they'll forget to check
Monitor their email
Most Indian guests don't
Remember a password
That they'll reset day-of
Three things guests do
1.Open WhatsApp
Already open, always on
2.Tap or type
Button, question, emoji — whatever's easiest
3.Get an answer
Usually in under two seconds
That's it. That's the whole guest experience.
One guest, five kinds of question, one chat
A sample Sangeet-evening exchange: typed question in Hinglish, event card reply with map, pickup lookup, voice note transcribed, RSVP button. Same chat, no menus, no forms, no context loss.
The guest doesn't need to know which "module" answers which question. They just ask in whatever language feels natural. The bot figures out intent and responds with the right format — text, card, map pin, button.

The three ways people ship a "guest portal"
Wedding websites and custom apps both exist because they're what planners reach for first. Both have the same failure mode — the guest has to learn something new. WhatsApp doesn't.
A wedding website
- Guests forget to check it
- No push notifications — they miss updates
- Breaks on older phones / 2G
- Needs the couple to maintain it
- No way to RSVP-chase a holdout
A standalone wedding app
- Most guests won't install it
- 28 MB download + signup — aunty won't
- Another password to forget
- One app per wedding doesn't stick
- Falls apart for guests over 55
WhatsApp Concierge
- Zero install, zero signup
- Push notifications built in (every WhatsApp)
- Works on ₹7,000 smartphones and 2G
- Updates propagate in seconds
- Same interface grandma uses to message family
- Free for every guest, forever
The point isn't that wedding websites are bad. For the couple's own keepsake page — the one with photos and a love story — they're fine. The point is that they're the wrong place for anything the guest needs to act on at 7:22 PM on Sangeet night.
Everything the Concierge covers
Three groups — what guests ask, what guests do, and how it all works.
What guests ask
Every wedding question a guest has, answered by the coordinator's data — live.
Event schedule
Tonight's start time, tomorrow's mehendi, Sunday's brunch — answered by name of event, date, or ceremony.
Venue directions
A tap opens Google Maps with the exact pin. No hunting through group chats for an address.
Hotel & room info
Room number, check-in counter, hotel phone. Plus transport between the hotel and the venue.
Pickup & transport
Their pickup time, vehicle, driver name and number — live-updated if something slips.
Dress code & menu
Ceremony-specific dress code, kids' menu, vegetarian options, drinks policy — any detail the coordinator has entered.
Emergency contacts
Primary coordinator, medical, hotel concierge. One-tap call from inside the chat.
What guests do
Responses and uploads that feed the planner's dashboard back.
Tap to RSVP
One tap confirms attendance for the guest — or for the whole household if they answer on behalf of their family.
Share a flight ticket
Forward a PDF or screenshot. The AI travel assistant parses it and feeds the arrival dashboard.
Share photos
Candids from the Haldi, the Mehendi, the Baraat. Uploaded guest photos route straight to the couple's photo drive.
How it works under the hood
The plumbing most guests never notice — which is the whole point.
Their language, automatically
Hindi, English, Hinglish, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi. No language-switch button — the bot matches what the guest types.
Always on
A guest asking at 2 AM about their 6 AM flight pickup gets an instant answer. Coordinators sleep; the Concierge doesn't.
Human handoff when needed
A question the bot can't answer routes to a coordinator with the guest's name and context attached. Same chat, no escalation link.
Every other "guest portal" is built for the planner's convenience — central control, custom domain, branded colour scheme, Google Analytics dashboard. Those things only help the planner. None of them help a 68-year-old uncle in Ranchi find out what time the Haldi starts.
We looked at actual usage data from the first 50 weddings we ran on the Concierge. The guests who engaged most weren't the ones in their 20s. They were the ones over 50 — exactly the segment that wouldn't have opened an app. The reason is boring: WhatsApp is already the daily interface for Indian parents and grandparents. The Concierge just answers questions inside it.
The second pattern: 82% of guest questions are answered in under four seconds with no human involved. The remaining 18% route to a coordinator because the question is specific to that guest ("is my cousin Priya's pickup the same as mine?") — and those answers propagate to the bot's memory, so the next guest asking the same thing gets it auto-answered.
Frequently asked questions
Do guests need to download anything to use the Concierge?+
No. Zero app installs, zero sign-ups, zero passwords. Every interaction happens inside a regular WhatsApp chat — the same app they already have open to message family. Even a first-time smartphone user figures it out in seconds.
What languages does the bot understand?+
Hindi, English, Hinglish (code-mixed), and the major regional languages — Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi. Guests type in whichever language they're comfortable with; the bot replies in the same language. Older guests who write Hindi in English letters ("kal ka timing kya hai?") get perfectly understood.
What happens if a guest asks something the bot doesn't know?+
The question is routed to a coordinator with the guest's name and context attached. The coordinator replies from the Weddingkart dashboard, the guest sees it in the same chat — no escalation link, no "please wait for an agent" holding pattern. The bot also learns from these handoffs so repeat questions get auto-answered.
Can guests reply with voice notes or share photos?+
Yes. Voice notes are transcribed and answered in text (useful for elderly guests who don't type fast). Photos and videos they send — wedding-day candids — automatically route to the collection drive for the couple. Flight or train ticket images get parsed by the AI travel assistant and feed the arrival dashboard.
Can multiple family members share one phone number for RSVPs?+
Yes — household-level RSVPs. If Mr. Sharma's number represents a family of six, one tap from his phone confirms all six. The Concierge then asks follow-ups: meal preferences, kids count, arrival plans — one at a time, none of them mandatory.
What does the bot never do?+
Never spams, never sells anything, never sends generic marketing messages, never asks for payment details, never shares a guest's data with another guest. The Concierge is scoped to the wedding the guest was invited to — nothing more.
Does the Concierge know about last-minute venue or timing changes?+
Yes — within seconds. When the coordinator updates a detail in the Weddingkart dashboard, the next guest question pulls the fresh value. For urgent changes (venue shift, weather call-off) a broadcast goes out proactively; guests don't have to ask to find out.
Is there a web or mobile version if a guest prefers it?+
No — and deliberately. Adding a website version would encourage us to recommend it, and the whole premise of the Concierge is that the best guest portal is the one guests don't have to learn. Every guest already has WhatsApp open. That's the portal.
Give your guests zero-friction access to every wedding detail
Included in the ₹8,499 Standard plan. Your coordinator enters venue, timing, pickup, and dress-code details once — guests ask in whichever language they prefer, in the WhatsApp chat they already have open.
