Knowing The Wedding Planner Who Made The Wedding Day Of 500+ People More Special

Weddings are the most memorable occasion in any person’s life. On this day, any individual will look forward to enjoying, without having to care about the arrangements or other required measures. To ensure that, the assistance of a wedding planning company becomes essential. 

This is where Aastha Jha, a talented alumnus of PESIT College, Bangalore, has carved a niche for herself in a short time. Aastha’s journey began by arranging small-budget birthday parties and get-togethers. Let us know about her journey and how she became the name that must be reckoned with in the competitive field of Wedding Planner.

The background

Aastha was one of the siblings of two children born in the Jha household of Patna. From childhood, she wanted to do something of her own. She completed her school-level education at Krishna Niketan, Patna. After that, she qualified in the entrance exam of Consortium of Medical, Engineering and Dental Colleges of Karnataka (COMEDK) and enrolled in the Electrical and Electronics Engineering course at PESIT College. 

She tried for IIT, but fate had something else in store for her. In her college life, she began to exhibit and get recognized for her managerial and organizational skills. The seed of having her own company started to root and slowly began gaining ground. 

The birth of Kraftstar Management

However, her dream wasn’t realized immediately after she completed her graduation. Although known for her organizational skills in college, she wasn’t permitted to work in an actual company during her ongoing studies. 

She joined the renowned insurance company AIG as a risk manager with a very handsome pay packet. Aastha also decided to work at a Wedding Planner company to gain practical experience in the field and her primary job. Routine workdays of 18-19 hours and no weekends gave her the savoir-faire and the information she would need to start a company of her own. After six months at AIG, she started the venture now known all over India as Kraftstar Management.

The journey after that

Naturally, she faced a lot of criticism and disdain from relatives and other people to leave such a high-paid job and take this risk. However, she had the full support of her family. However, she did not want any monetary help but got much-needed help when her brother, Satweek Jha, joined her company. He had prior experience organizing events in Patna, which helped kick-start the venture’s field-related side.

Rather than aiming for a big shot at the first try, her company started small in the field of Wedding Planning. Her first project had a budget of 4000 rupees. With adequately placed resources and correctly chosen digital marketing initiatives, the word of her company started spreading. Their excellent services and easy approachability were the critical factors in getting further assignments from the best advertisement possible; references from the clients to other people. 

Soon, their business picked up the pace, and they started getting inquiries for the arrangement of weddings. They bagged their first wedding planning contract within six months of starting their company. Their first job was massively successful, and the client was immensely pleased. In the meantime, Aastha quit her job by the end of 2017 and started to work full-time in this budding venture. 

Their unique services 

After arranging 15 weddings at the end of their first year, inquiries started increasing, and the company started flourishing. Their popularity was reliant on a unique feature: they provide end-to-end services. The claim is not empty, as their service menu consists of the following:

  • Booking tickets for the guests.
  • Booking venues for the clients
  • Arranging for the caterers.
  • Advising their clients on their apparel.
  • Booking vendors for photography and video.
  • Selecting, getting approval, and setting the food and decor.
  • Selecting and employing business concern for providing these services.
  • Arranging everything, from the mala to the mithai for the wedding.

They have experienced and skilled teams ready to provide any service the client requires. They can also arrange banquet and destination weddings in India like Goa, Delhi, Pune, Chennai, Kolkata, Udaipur, and other cities. Till now, they have completed over 300 weddings, corporate events, and other ceremonies. They levy the ‘planning charge’ according to the client’s budget. 

Other than that, they charge a flat fee and don’t believe in working for commissions. Kraftstar Management has spread its business in Delhi, Udaipur, Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, and Goa. Since last year, they have decided to focus on weddings only.

Associated facilities

Along with comprehensive services and management of high-budget wedding, Aastha has started several other ventures that complement her primary business of wedding event management. She owns a periodical named The Wedding Journals, which can inform the interested parties about the current trends of fashion or other necessary topics. They hold a travel business called “Explore air services,” which can support a destination wedding. 

They also provide make-up services through their Salon “Elegance Make-over and Academy” to get the bride the best look for her wedding. They also have another exciting venture on the pipeline, named “Gathbandhan Vivah”. It is a wedding market of sorts; Indian brides or grooms can rent and sell jewelry in this arrangement. It is expected to be launched soon.

Aastha had a success mantra from an early age: “if you can dream it, you can do it.” This has proved useful in her extensive work experience. Her quality of service is evident from their long-standing and continuing client list. So, if you need the benefits of this well-known concern headed by the vivacious Aastha Jha, get in touch with her at the earliest!
