BENGALURU: Uber must be having its fingers crossed on its alliance with WedMeGood as UberWEDDINGS is all set to roll out by February 2017. In a move to cater to all wedding related travel, Uber has partnered this wedding planning website and is all set to roll out its mobility solutions in 12 cities including Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Ludhiana and Lucknow.

“Weddings in India are typically an elaborate affair, often spanning month-long planning and week-long celebrations involving family and friends. While we all enjoy the fun and celebration, they also bring in the logistical challenge of a coordination and managing the commuting needs,” Uber India General Manager (Delhi and NCR) Prabhjeet Singh said.
 Prior to the wedding the hosts can buy a specific number of Uber rides of set denominations on a specifically dedicated page on the WedMeGood website. 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 the preparation.
 The promo codes can also be customised with host’s name or their wedding hashtag which will be printed by Uber and made available within three working days of the purchase request.
Apart from India, Uber offers UberWEDDINGS in Washington DC, San Francisco, Boston, etc.
