How has technology influenced the wedding industry, and what role does Weddingline play in this transformation?
Technology has taken over every aspect of the world, especially after Covid-19, including the way our children go to school and the way we attend work. Nowadays, nobody is travelling at the drop of a hat to faraway places for meetings. From a wedding standpoint, we got into the technology game about seven or eight years ago when apps started coming up. There have been certain other R&Ds that are going on. For example, we are trying to look at bot-based tele-calling and RSVP.
I think as a wedding company we are still largely experiential; technology today has made the human experience considerably better. Today you don’t need to walk into a destination wedding and walk into a counter to register yourself or a guest and get your room key. Everything is digital. Your key card reaches you on your phone.
