The problem
One wedding. Eight vendors. Thirty-two conversations.
A mehndi for 300 people needs a hall, food, decor, lighting and a photographer. Right now that is eight separate searches and eight advances paid against a WhatsApp message, on a date that cannot move.
- 32
- vendors contacted to book one event
- 2–4 hrs
- to hear back on a single enquiry, and what comes back is a quote
- 5
- places to look, with no single index of who exists
From 300 buyer interviews across the launch markets, 2025–26.
Start with a sentence
Tell us what you are planning. We will build the plan.
Not a chatbot bolted onto a directory. Describe the event in your own words, or upload a photo of a stage you liked, and BookitUp works out which categories it needs, splits your budget across them, and returns vendors who are free on your date.

It knows what things cost
Decor packages here run from Rs 25,000 to Rs 800,000 (about $90 to $2,870) with no published benchmark. Every booking that settles teaches the system what a fair price looks like for that category, in that city, in that season.
It fills the gaps you forgot
Book a hall and a caterer and it will tell you that people planning the same event usually book lighting and a photographer too, at roughly this cost, with these vendors free on your date.
It works for the vendor too
Vendors get their Instagram grid turned into a priced, searchable listing in minutes, plus demand forecasts and offer suggestions built from their own booking history.
Dollar amounts shown are approximate, at USD/PKR 278.5. Buyers we spoke to waited two to four hours for most replies, and what came back was a quote rather than a booking. The same brief here returns a costed, bookable shortlist in about thirty seconds.
How booking works
What it takes to actually book a vendor.
Five screens replace thirty-two conversations.
Say what you need
Nikah or mehndi, the date, how many people, which city, and what you can spend. The search runs off those, not a keyword.
See who is free
Halls that hold your guest count and are open on your date, with photos and the area they are in. Not a directory of numbers to ring.
Compare them properly
Rating, coupon and opening hours on the card itself. Halls, decor, catering and bakery all sit in the same place.
Pay the advance
Card, online or offline. It is recorded against a booking ID you can open later, rather than disappearing into a bank transfer.
Keep the date straight
Site visits, tastings and confirmed bookings on one grid, each with a way to message that vendor.
More than one thing to book
You are not booking just one thing.
A wedding usually means finding several vendors at once, and each one has its own quote cycle, its own advance and its own chat thread. That is a lot of chances for something to go wrong on a date that cannot move.
One place for the whole event
Every vendor and every date, on one screen.
An event is not one booking, it is eight running at once. Yours sits in a single workspace: what is booked, what is still open, what each part costs, and what is happening on which day. One event workspace and a single booking flow across your vendors.
Every category in one index. Venue, decor, catering, bakery and lighting side by side, so you fill the gaps in your event instead of starting a new search for each one.
One calendar for the date. Site visits, tastings and confirmed bookings on one grid, so nothing collides in the week that matters.
Why BookitUp
Discovery already exists. The transaction does not.
Google, Instagram and the wedding directories are all good at the same thing: showing you a list of businesses. None of them knows whether that hall is free on your date, what it costs for 300 people, or what happens to your advance if the vendor resells the date.
One event, not one booking
A wedding is eight vendors running at once. Search shows you one business at a time; your event sits in one workspace with one date and one budget.
A booking, not a phone number
A date that is genuinely free, a price you can act on, a booking ID against every advance, and money that is held until the vendor has delivered.
A system the vendor runs on
Availability, quoting, bookings and payouts in one place, so the same system runs peak season and the quiet months. That is why the listings stay accurate.
Instagram will show you a decorator. It will not tell you they are already booked on your date, coordinate them with your caterer, or hold your money until the day.
Your money
Your advance is held until the day.
Today an advance is cash or a bank transfer against a WhatsApp message, with no contract and no way back if the hall resells your date. On BookitUp the money is held in a separate account and released only after the vendor has delivered.
1. You pay the advance
By card or bank transfer, into a BookitUp customer-funds account. Not into the vendor’s personal account, and not in cash.
2. It is held, not handed over
That account is kept separate from the money we run the business on, and reconciled every month. The vendor sees the booking is funded and locks your date. They cannot touch the money yet.
3. The vendor delivers
Your booking runs on the day, against the scope written into the booking record.
4. Then they are paid
The advance is released after delivery is confirmed. If it is not delivered, it comes back to you.
If the booking goes wrong
Your advance is held in a designated customer-funds account, separate from our operating money and reconciled monthly. It is never used to run the business. We are working with a licensed partner to move these funds into formal escrow, and these protections apply to every booking from the day we open.
For vendors
Fewer enquiries. Better ones.
Vendors told us they spend around Rs 50,000 a month to be found, then sort 200 DMs by hand to get eight bookings. We send enquiries that already have a date, a budget and a category attached.
The same eight bookings, at a sixth of the cost. The 150 dead conversations never reach you. From 350 vendor interviews across the 2025–26 season. Target economics are projections, not current results.
Enquiries already qualified
Budget, date and category are known before the enquiry reaches you.
A calendar, not a notepad
Availability, quoting, bookings and payouts in one place.
You get paid on delivery
The advance is held and released on delivery. No chasing bank transfers.
Ranked on completed work
Placement is weighted by bookings you delivered, and reviews come only from settled bookings.
List your business on BookitUp
Not planning an event?
Good food. Last chance. Half the price.
The same bakeries, cafés and caterers throw away what has not sold by closing time. On BookitUp they list it as a Surprise Box instead, at a guaranteed minimum 50% off. You do not choose the exact items, that is the surprise, but you always know the shop, the category, the price and the pickup window.
Find one near you
A map of live offers within the distance you set, each showing the price, the pickup window and how many are left.
Reserve and pay
Pay in the app to hold it. Same-day collection, so it is food made this morning, not yesterday.
Collect before they close
Show your code at the counter and take it home. Nothing to print, nothing to explain.
Dollar figures are approximate, at USD/PKR 278.5. Same vendor network, a new transaction every day. The bakery that makes your wedding cake in December is the one selling you a box on a Tuesday in June.

Questions
What people ask us first.
How booking works, what it costs, and what happens to your money. If something is not answered here, ask us when you join.
What is BookitUp?
BookitUp is a marketplace for booking a whole event in one place. You describe the occasion and the budget, and BookitUp builds a shortlist across every category the event needs, venue, catering, decor, lighting, photography, cake, so you book several vendors together instead of negotiating with each one separately.
Is BookitUp live yet?
Not yet. Join the waitlist and we will contact you as soon as bookings open in your city.
Where do I use BookitUp?
In your browser, on a phone or a laptop, and everything on this page works there: browsing vendors, checking a date, and paying an advance. Apps for iPhone and Android are on the way, and your bookings carry across, so you never have to start again.
How does the payment protection work?
Your advance is held in escrow instead of going straight to the vendor, and it is released only once the booking has been delivered. If the vendor does not show up you get the full amount back within 48 hours; if you get less than was agreed, the refund is measured against the booking record. The money sits with a regulated payments partner, never with BookitUp.
What does BookitUp cost a customer?
For venues and large catering there is a flat booking fee plus a payment-protection fee on the protected advance, there is no commission on the contract value. The platform price is contractually the lowest price the vendor offers anywhere.
What does it cost a vendor?
Venues, farmhouses, marquees and large catering pay a monthly subscription with no commission on contract value. Decor, lighting, photography, bakery and makeup pay a commission on booking value instead. Pricing is set by leakage risk rather than by category.
Which cities does BookitUp cover?
We open city by city, because a search is only useful once there are enough vendors in it to return a real shortlist. Join the waitlist and we will tell you when yours opens.
What kinds of events can I book?
Weddings and mehndi first, because that is where the multi-vendor problem is hardest. Birthdays, corporate events, aqiqah and conferences use the same vendors and the same booking rail, and are added as the vendor list grows.
Your whole event, in one place.
Joining costs nothing and there is nothing to cancel. We will write to you as soon as bookings open.
