Zankyou Weddings started in Spain in 2007 but has grown so large it’s now the most visited wedding website in the world. Zankyou recently came to India, and so far has made a number of dream weddings for Indian brides.
And it’s all possible via your smartphone. Imagine putting together a wedding like the Ambanis and the Mittals (same style but maybe not so much spend, we think) using your phone. And you won’t even have to take leave from work.
Where to find the best wedding cakes in Hyderabad, who is the best jeweller in Mumbai, which designer is most affordable in Delhi.

It has a presence in 23 countries, and they are the leading website in Europe and Latin America. Each year they have more than 50 million visitors on the Zankyou platform and over 350,000 registered couples.

The techThe wedding portal is not all sugar and bubblegum flavored superficialities. Their back end is supported by a comprehensive layer of technology to offer tools for wedding organization. You can find vendors, create a wedding website on your own and create your own gift registry list, a RSVP feature guests can easily accept or decline invitation to online, and even a table setting options.
Only a bride would understand just how crucial these features are to ease a hectic countdown to D-day.
