Jorna

South Asian celebrations, expertly planned

Your entire celebration team, matched in minutes.

Describe your wedding, sangeet, or mehndi. Jorna assembles three complete vendor teams for you to compare — venue, catering, DJ, photographer, and more — and holds your payments safely in escrow until the celebration is done.

How it works

Plan your entire celebration in three steps.

01

Describe your celebration

Your city, date, guest count, budget, and the vibe you want — elegant, traditional, modern, or a mix. It takes about two minutes.

02

Compare three complete teams

Jorna builds a Budget, Balanced, and Top Rated team for your event — venue, catering, photography, and every other category you need, side by side.

03

Book and pay safely

Pick a team, adjust it, then pay into escrow. Your money is held until the event happens and both sides confirm.

The Jorna difference

Three complete vendor teams. Compare, choose, book.

Every bundle covers the same categories, so the comparison is fair. Each price carries its unit, so you always know what you're looking at.

For vendors

List your packages. Get booked. Get paid.

Jorna brings the hosts to you. No chasing leads, no awkward payment conversations — every booking is protected and paid through escrow once the event is done.

  • Free to list — you only pay when you get booked
  • Jorna matches you to hosts planning the events you serve
  • Guaranteed payment through escrow on every booking
  • Set your own rates, availability, and negotiation preferences
  • One inbox for every client conversation

Protected by escrow

Safe to pay months in advance.

Booking a celebration means handing over large sums, sometimes a year ahead. Jorna was built specifically to make that feel safe.

If something goes wrong

Your money is held, not spent

When you pay, it goes into escrow — not straight to the vendor. It stays there until after the celebration, so you're never out of pocket for someone who doesn't show up.

Vendors are paid when you confirm

After the event you confirm it went well, and only then is the vendor paid. If something goes wrong, the money doesn't move until it's sorted.

Every booking in one place

All your vendors, dates, messages, and payments sit under one event — each with a clear status, so you always know what's confirmed and what's still waiting.

Questions

Frequently asked

Are the team bundles generated by AI?

Yes. Jorna uses your event details — city, date, guest count, budget, and vibe — to assemble and rank vendor teams. Every vendor in them is a real business with a profile you can open and check.

Can I book individual vendors, or do I have to take a whole bundle?

Both. Start from a generated bundle and swap any vendor in it, or skip bundles entirely and book one at a time from the Marketplace.

What if a vendor cancels or doesn't show up?

Because the money sits in escrow, a vendor who doesn't show up can't be paid. If one cancels, the payment is refunded rather than released.

How long does money stay in escrow?

From when you pay until after the event, once both sides confirm it went ahead. The booking shows its status the whole time, so you always know where your money is.
