Nodus is not a directory. It is an end-to-end platform: you find the vendor, manage every message, pay securely, and stay protected from the moment you open the app to the morning after your wedding. Every step, in one place.
Step one
Create your free account and tell us about your wedding: date, ceremonies, guest count, and budget. This takes under three minutes. Your event profile is how Nodus matches you with the right vendors in your region: ones who serve your community, have your date free, and fit your budget.
Step two
Browse vetted vendors by category and region. Every profile includes a real portfolio, verified reviews from completed bookings, and pricing range. Message vendors directly through your Nodus inbox: no WhatsApp, no lost threads, no missed messages.
Step three
Confirm your booking through Nodus. A verified contract is issued automatically. Your payment is processed securely through Stripe with written booking confirmation built into every transaction. If a vendor cancels or fails to deliver, you can raise a dispute through your Nodus dashboard to help resolve it.
Step four
Your wedding runs. Vendors are paid automatically at each confirmed milestone. After the event, leave verified reviews that help the next couple planning a South Asian wedding find the right team.
01
Browse every South Asian wedding supplier in your area by category and availability. Verified vendors carry a badge and have active profiles. Unverified listings let you discover suppliers you won’t find anywhere else in one place; reach out and we’ll bring them to the platform.
02
Every vendor conversation lives in a single inbox. Message vendors, share documents, and receive quotes, all in one place. Your full communication history is searchable and downloadable. No more losing a quote in a WhatsApp scroll.
03
Receive itemised quotes from multiple vendors and compare them side by side. Accept, decline, or counter-quote without leaving Nodus. Accepted quotes automatically generate the booking record and contract.
04
Your payment is processed securely through Stripe and managed by Stripe. It does not go directly to the vendor until each agreed milestone is confirmed as delivered. If a vendor cancels or fails to deliver, you can raise a dispute through your Nodus dashboard to help resolve it. This is not an insurance product. It is how the platform is built.
05
Spread your vendor payments across your planning window instead of paying large lump sums upfront. Set a schedule that fits your cash flow, processed through Nodus and released to vendors on confirmed milestones.
06
Every review on Nodus is tied to a real, completed booking. No anonymous submissions, no incentivised posts. Couples rate each vendor after the event, and those ratings build a public track record that compounds with every booking.
Every booking made through Nodus is confirmed in writing, processed through Stripe-secured checkout, and documented against a booking record that both you and your vendor can access. No chasing confirmations. No ambiguity about what was agreed.
Every payment documented from day one
Your payment is processed through Stripe-secured checkout and logged against your booking record the moment it clears. You and your vendor both have a confirmed payment trail.
Nodus manages communication if a vendor cancels
If a vendor cancels, Nodus handles the communication process on your behalf — coordinating next steps through the platform so you have a clear record of how the situation was handled.
Nodus acts as booking agent for every vendor
Nodus acts as commercial booking agent for the vendors on this platform — which means every booking comes with written confirmation, documented terms, and a single point of contact.

Setting up your event profile takes around three minutes. From there, the time to a confirmed booking depends on how quickly you and the vendor agree terms, typically 24–72 hours from first message to accepted quote. Once a quote is accepted, the contract and payment are processed instantly through Nodus.
You can invite any vendor to join your Nodus dashboard, even if they’ve never heard of us. They receive a free supplier account and can accept bookings, send quotes, and manage payments immediately. You can bring your entire vendor team onto one platform, regardless of how you found them.
When you pay through Nodus, the payment is processed securely through Stripe and managed by Nodus; it does not go to the vendor until a milestone is confirmed. If a vendor cancels or fails to deliver, you can raise a dispute through your Nodus dashboard to help resolve it. Your financial data is encrypted end-to-end.
Yes: your booking record on Nodus documents the agreed cancellation terms before you commit. If plans change, the vendor's published policy applies, displayed clearly on their profile at the point of booking. Nodus enforces these transparently on both sides.
