What Is This

Your celebration was just the beginning

The Heritage Circle is an invite-only program exclusively for past 10kWedding South Asian couples. Because you’ve lived every ceremony firsthand — Mehndi, Haldi, Sangeet, Baraat, Pheras — your recommendation carries more weight than any advertisement. And we believe that should be rewarded.

When someone you refer books a South Asian destination wedding through 10kWedding, you receive a direct cash payout. Refer more couples, earn more per referral, and unlock Heritage Elite status with premium perks that keep giving.

There’s no sales pitch to make. Just share what you already know: that this experience was worth every moment, every ceremony, every memory.

The Process

How It Works

Four simple steps from your first share to your first payout — no tracking links, no complicated dashboards.

1

Receive Your Invite

Past 10kWedding South Asian couples receive a personal invitation to join the Heritage Circle. This program is exclusive — we keep it small so every member truly represents the Shaadi experience.

2

Share Naturally

When a family or friend mentions they’re planning a South Asian destination wedding, simply tell them about 10kWedding and have them mention your name when they reach out to us.

3

We Handle the Rest

Our team takes it from there — resort shortlisting, room blocks, Baraat logistics, Pandit travel, catering riders, and every ceremony. You sit back and enjoy the credit.

4

You Get Paid

Once your referral’s wedding is booked and confirmed, your payout is processed. Earn more with every referral and reach milestones to unlock Heritage Elite status.

Why It Matters

More Than a Referral Program

🪔

You Know the Entire Week

You lived every ceremony — Mehndi, Haldi, Sangeet, Baraat, Pheras, Reception. Your firsthand recommendation for multi-day South Asian celebrations is something no advertisement can replicate.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Help Families Navigate the Unknown

A destination Shaadi is a big ask of a large family. Your experience — and your referral — gives the next couple the confidence and community knowledge to say yes to the adventure.

✈️

Rewards That Travel With You

Heritage Elite members receive luxury travel perks, priority support, and annual rewards like destination credits or resort stays — because we believe in celebrating you long after your Shaadi ends.

🤝

Zero Pressure, Zero Pitch

We never ask you to sell. When the topic of destination weddings comes up naturally in your community, simply share your story and point them our way. The program works because it’s authentic.

📈

Your Value Grows Over Time

Unlike one-time bonuses, the Heritage Circle rewards loyalty. The more you refer, the higher your per-referral rate — and Heritage Elite locks in $2,500 per wedding, forever.
