Vendor Collection
Event Planners, Venues & Decorators in India
Compare what to ask event planners, venues and decorators, what to share in one brief, and the rules worth knowing before you book for an event in India.
Planning, Venues & Decor in brief
The people and places that shape the whole event: planning support, the venue and its decor. This collection covers 7 vendor categories: Event Planners, Venues, Decorators, Florists, Tent House, Party Places and Special Effects. These are planning categories, not vendor listings. GI.EVENTS facilitates events throughout India, subject to verification of local capacity, and every booking is confirmed with you first.
About this collection
The planner, the venue and the decorator make the decisions every other vendor works around: where guests arrive, how long the set-up window is and what the space will look like. This collection brings these categories together, with the florist and tent house who work alongside them, so you can see what to share and what to ask before you shortlist. GI.EVENTS helps you request options for each through one brief and confirms everything with you before anything is booked.

Planning across these categories
- Fix the venue first: its rules on outside vendors, set-up windows and music timings shape every other booking.
- Ask decorators and planners to quote against the same written brief so proposals can be compared fairly.
- Keep a single list of who confirms what, and get every agreed change in writing.

Common questions
Which should we book first: the planner, the venue or the decorator?
Usually the venue, because its dates, rules and set-up windows shape everything else. If you want planning help from the start, a planner can help you shortlist venues. Decor is best briefed once the venue is known.
Does GI.EVENTS list venues and decorators on these pages?
No. These pages explain the categories and what to ask. GI.EVENTS helps you request a shortlist through one brief, and public vendor profiles appear only after review.
