Uber now wants to foray into the wedding industry with its new offering. The US based ride hailing service has launched uberWEDDINGS that caters to all wedding related travel needs.
uberWEDDINGS service will be available in total of 12 cities viz, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chandigarh, Chennai, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Kolkata, Ludhiana, New Delhi, Pune, Udaipur and Lucknow. Uber has teamed up with WedMeGood, a wedding planning website, for uberWEDDINGS. Under the partnership, Uber will go live with various wedding-themed on-demands available such as bachelor/bachelorette parties hosted by, dinners and other wedding-related celebrations.
Users will have to submit their wedding by visiting the WedMeGood site and fill up necessary details. After submitting the wedding, hosts can buy a specific number of Uber rides of set denominations (promo code based). They can then, share them with their guests as an extension to their invitations or give them to their family members to ride for free during preparation. The promo codes can also be customized with host’s name or their wedding hashtag which will be printed by Uber and made available within 3 working days of the purchase request.

UberWEDDINGS provides an easy way for hosts to ensure that all wedding-related travel in the city is managed through cashless pre-generated promo codes. So whether it is about hopping between markets, finding the perfect outfit, or getting guests to the venue, Uber will make it happen in a pre decided budget, at a push of a button. All our users need to focus on is the wedding.
uberWEDDINGS will be live till February 2017.
