About
A wedding planner that shows its working
Shaadi Hisab is a free Pakistani wedding planner made by DanixSoft, a Lahore-based software studio. It keeps the budget, checklist, guests, cards, salami and expenses in one place, and every cost figure links to where it came from.
How estimates are made
Each range is built from dated public figures: low is the cheapest figure found, mid the midpoint of mid-range advertised prices (or the single mid-range figure found), high the top of premium prices. Simple weddings use low, standard mid, grand high. Advertised prices are what businesses list publicly, not quotes, and no business is recommended.
How they are kept fresh
There is no free public feed of wedding prices, so figures are re-checked by hand against their sources and the “last checked” date is updated (costs: 2026-11-04; rules: 2026-11-04). Old figures stay visible with an “old” flag rather than being replaced by guesses. No vendor pays to appear and none is listed.
