KATs Innovation Arts is a pan-India event design + production house, founded in Chennai and delivered in twelve cities. Since 2018 we've curated the private weddings, anniversaries, and cinema-industry celebrations of some of South India's most recognisable families — quietly, discreetly, and without a single leaked photograph.
KATs Innovation Arts began in 2018 with one intimate Chennai wedding and one stubborn belief — that ambition should never be limited by logistics. If a family dreamed of a peacock-themed muhurtham on a beach in Kanyakumari, the only correct answer was to build them exactly that. Not a smaller version. Not a cheaper version. The real version.
Seven years and four-hundred-plus events later, that answer hasn't changed. What has changed is the scale — from that first Chennai reception to stadium- scale product launches, from private cinema-family weddings to seemantham ceremonies attended by five generations of a Kolkata family who flew down specifically because the founder said yes.
Karthikaa still answers every enquiry personally. Every quote you receive from KATs was reviewed by her before it went out. Every venue walkthrough, every stage rehearsal, every 4 AM setup morning — she's on the floor. This is deliberate. In a country where "event planner" often means "middleman with a spreadsheet," she wants families to know exactly whose signature is on the delivery.
If a family trusts you with the biggest day of their life, the only acceptable answer is 'yes, and here's how'.
Discretion is one of the reasons we exist. We describe categories, never names — every family we've served knows the story, and when you sit with Karthikaa she'll walk you through the specific projects that match your brief. Below is the shape of what we've delivered.
Two decades of Tamil and Telugu cinema families have trusted KATs for their private weddings, birthday celebrations, and milestone anniversaries. From actor engagements at private ECR villas to producer-family Muhurtham ceremonies with 2,000 guests — we've built the run-sheet before the wedding invite even goes to press.
Top-tier IPL and Ranji cricketing families. High-visibility off-season engagements requiring managed press, controlled guest lists, and multi-day itineraries across venues in Chennai, Coimbatore, and Bengaluru.
Serial and reality-TV stars in Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam ecosystems — their weddings, baby showers, and industry launches. Managed the fan-fence lines, valet chaos, and photographer accreditation without a single leaked frame.
Wedding of a listed-company promoter's daughter. Retirement gala for a South Indian conglomerate. Housewarming for a Middle-East-returned patriarch. Guest counts from 300 to 2,000, all delivered without a public reference — as it should be.
We don't publish celebrity client lists, we don't post behind-the-scenes photos without written consent, and we don't allow phone cameras during private ceremonies unless the family invites them. If you need proof of a specific engagement, ask Karthikaa on the intro call — she'll share what each family has authorised.
Every event opens with a colour palette, a mood board, and a story arc — not a pre-set 'wedding package'. If the family wants their grandmother's saree colour to lead the entire venue design, that's exactly what happens.
12+ cities served. 70 vetted vendor partnerships across India. When a Chennai bride wants a Rajasthani destination wedding in Jaipur, we don't sub-contract to a Delhi agency — our own coordinators fly in.
Karthikaa walks every event floor. No handoffs, no 'my colleague will handle it'. When you sign with KATs you get seven years of hands-on delivery, not a junior planner reading from a checklist.
Celebrity guests, high-net-worth families, cross-community weddings — we've done them all. Every event is under a mutual understanding of privacy. We share nothing until the family posts first.
We tell you what the event actually costs on day one, not after the deposit is paid.
The KATs team is on-site 12 hours before the muhurtham and stays until the last guest leaves.
70+ vendor partnerships lasting because we clear invoices in 7 days, not 90. Reliability compounds.
Once you've done one event with us, our office is your family's WhatsApp group. That's the intent.
Every enquiry is read by Karthikaa personally. Send us your date, city, and the shape of what you're imagining — a written quote lands in your inbox within 24 hours.
