UberWeddings Makes Traveling to Weddings Easier for Both Parties

No matter which month of the year it is, you know of a friend, a friend of a friend, or at least a relative who’s planning a wedding. It’s one of those unbeatable Indian things. Indian weddings are much more than the couple. The house will be filled with friends and relatives, and cousins of all kinds, with the second and third ones too. Not to mention the school-going nephews and the unruly nieces.

Weddings are more than a family affair. There’s the bride’s beautician who’s panicking as if it’s her own wedding, and there are the groomsmen who pour themselves another shot of whiskey in the guise of calming the groom’s nerves. Then there’s the camera crew flashing lights everywhere and asking people to flash a few smiles.

Weddings are more than an easy matter. And if you’re a loyal friend at someone’s wedding this season, you’ve probably volunteered (against your will, of course) to drive the guests to and from their various rendezvous points.

Good news to you.

You don’t have to drive the guests to and from railways stations and hotels. Uber, the cab-booking company, has launched a campaign in India and the US to help wedding goers travel easy, and the wedding families breath easier.

Introducing UberWeddings

UberWeddings, the latest marketing stunt from Uber India, is a cash-free solution to your wedding driver needs. Partnering with the Indian wedding planner website, WedMeGood, the mobility company has launched the campaign in 12 cities Indian cities, namely Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chandigarh, Chennai, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Kolkata, Ludhiana, New Delhi, Pune, Udaipur, and Lucknow. Valid until February 2017.

How does it work?

If you’re on the side of the wedding host, you can buy promo codes from WedMeGood for different denominations. You can distribute these coupons to guests who can use it to get an Uber ride. No cash, no mess, and no disappointments. What’s more, you can also use the UberWeddings feature for some of those last minute shopping sprees or just a discreet dinner date before the wedding.

To help with the planning, once you make an inquiry about the available denominations, you’ll get a call from the WedMeGood folks asking for details about the wedding. They will need information like the number of functions you need rides for and the number of guests arriving for each function. With these details, they will guide you through buying the right coupons for your event.

“So whether it is about hopping between markets, finding the perfect outfit, or getting guests to the venue, Uber will make it happen in a pre- decided budget, at a push of a button.” Says Uber’s General Manager for Deli and NCR, Mr. Prabhjeet Singh

It’s personal, too.

No matter how many people get involved, a wedding is still a personal thing. UberWeddings understands that. And that’s why you can customize your promo codes. Whether you want the couple’s names flashed in bold or just a common hashtag, you got it. Uber will print it and hand it over within three days of making a request. So you can keep track of how your travel budget is doing even while you’re dancing at the sangeet.
