The digitization wave has turned this albeit traditional industry into a consumer-first digital marketplace. 'Remote' planning or 'Plan from anywhere' has enabled even the conventionally run businesses to connect, collaborate and seamlessly deliver on their services. After a long period of lull the industry is on high gear, to deliver not just on the pent up demand but also create solutions for the new-age couple. Needless to say, the wed-tech marriage is here to stay."
