Business Awards 2025

APAC Insider- Business Awards 2025 | 24 There is nothing quite as magical as a wedding. Indian weddings in particular are renowned for the array of colours and exquisite outfits they boast, adding a sense of grandeur to the eternal joy of love celebrated on this big day. These marriages may be made in heaven, but since the weddings take place here on earth, they need The Wedding Network to go off without a hitch. Recognised in this programme as the Best Destination Wedding Planners 2025 – India, we caught up with Founder Annika Talwar for more on the award-winning team behind The Wedding Network. Born in London but raised in New Delhi, Annika Talwar spent six years as a financial analyst with a renowned law firm in London, before moving back to New Delhi to try her hand at a role in in the field of events. Founding The Wedding Network – an acclaimed wedding planning/management company – over a decade later, the company quickly became a success across the APAC region, delivering numerous destination weddings across Thailand. Now, almost a decade later, The Wedding Network is continuing to develop. Having blossomed into a provider of turnkey wedding and event solutions, The Wedding Network today covers every aspect of the celebration for its clients, from selecting the location and sourcing the suppliers through to designing the concept and choosing a ‘theme’. This full-service package is the most comprehensive offering delivered by Annika and her team and is perfect for those looking for a hassle-free experience for themselves and a truly unforgettable experience for every guest in attendance on the special day. Similarly, recognising the innately personalised nature of these events and weddings – which often involve the client mapping out their personal dreams and visions onto a blank canvas – The Wedding Network offers what it calls ‘partial planning’, which sees its team meet a client wherever they are in the planning process, giving them the help they need to ensure they are not overwhelmed by the task at hand. Completely bespoke in nature, this service can cover everything from on-site coordination to juggling vendor logistics. Exploring its success across these channels further, Annika told us: “We pride ourselves in building strong, long-lasting relationships with service providers and vendors alike. It is for this reason that we can confidently assure you of the ‘best’ – be it decor, audio-visual/ technical, entertainment options, and whatever else you can think of!” She continued: “We understand the importance of quality, the role of luxury, and the significance of creativity in every event or wedding concept”, something seen right across its portfolio. Alongside these more general services for its clients across India, The Wedding Network also specialises in dream weddings to Thailand and – as suggested by this award – destination weddings. The first of these provisions sees Annika and co. take advantage of a country that welcomes all to its diverse landscapes with warmth and hospitality. Be it the white-sand beaches of Krabi, the rolling hills surrounding Chiang Mai, or the tropical island of Ko Samui, Thailand has the perfect backdrop for every couple tying the knot. As for how Annika and her team can help with planning a dream wedding in this, the ‘Land of Smiles’, their commitment to showcasing the best of the best when it comes to the wedding industry and the surrounding sphere in the county sees them cover everything from hotel liaison and logistic planning through to help finding the best wedding photographers and DJs in Thailand. The close ties enjoyed with local vendors and suppliers mirrors the fact that Indian weddings continue to majorly contribute to the Thai economy. “The Wedding Network is proud to be associated with some of the most sought-after venues and hotels, service providers, and suppliers across Thailand.” In a similar vein, for those whose wedding ambitions are looking to take them somewhere truly unique and spectacular, The Wedding Network’s destination wedding service brings their wildest ambitions to life. Be it a beach wedding in an island paradise or on a super-yacht in the middle of the ocean, those once-in-alifetime moments that have long seemed impossible are brought to life through these very special events. Adding to the uniquity of these events is the team’s ability to source the most impressive setting. With numerous awards under its belt celebrating everything from the décor at one of its destination weddings through to its design for the traditional sangeet ceremony, it is our pleasure to add to the acclaim of The Wedding Network by recognising Annika and her team here as the Best Destination Wedding Planners 2025 – India.
