How to make an app for a wedding band

On a big muhurat a band baja may send three or four teams to different baraats on the same night, each with its own ghodi, lights and route. An app keeps the booking diary, which musicians go with which team, and what each family still owes, so a date is never promised twice.

Who uses the app

The owner and the team leaders. If team leaders should see their own baraat details and musician lists on their phones, connect your own Supabase database. Families don't need the app; you confirm bookings with them on WhatsApp.

The screens a wedding band app needs

Diary: All bookings by date, with how many teams, ghodis and bagghis are still free that night
Booking: Family name, phone, date, janwasa and venue, route, band size, ghodi, bagghi, lights, rate and advance
Teams: The musicians in each team for the night, the team leader and the reporting time
Musicians: Each musician's instrument, phone and the payment due for the season
Ghodi and bagghi: Which ghodi and bagghi go to which baraat, so one isn't booked twice
Payments: Advances, balances collected after the baraat, and families still to pay

Features worth asking for

A diary that warns when a date already has all teams, ghodis or bagghis booked
Baraat location pins on a map, and a Google Maps button for the team leader
A booking slip as a PDF with the date, band size, extras and advance, to share on WhatsApp
Per-night payment to each musician, totalled for the season
Overtime added to the bill from the hours the team leader enters
A WhatsApp button to send the family the reporting time and team leader's number

Where the data lives

If only you keep the diary, the data can stay on your phone. If team leaders check their baraats and musicians on their own phones, connect your own Supabase database so the diary is the same for everyone.

Copy this request, change the details to match your wedding band, and paste it into AppCub:

Make an app for my band baja, Shan-e-Meerut Band in Meerut. Screens: diary, booking, teams, musicians, ghodi and bagghi, and payments. We send up to 4 teams on one night; each booking has a date, janwasa and venue, route, band size (11, 21 or 31), ghodi, bagghi, lights, rate and advance. Warn if all teams, ghodis or bagghis are booked on a date. Assign musicians to teams with a nightly payment. Add overtime hours to the bill. Make a booking slip PDF and a WhatsApp button to send the reporting time. Red and gold colours.

Tips for a wedding band app

Enter the next season's bookings from your paper diary first, so the app's free count for each date is right from day one.
Decide how many teams, ghodis and bagghis you can send on one night and tell AppCub the numbers.
Record the advance the moment you take it; the payments list is only as good as those entries.
Ask for Hindi labels if your team leaders prefer them.
Try a busy muhurat night with test bookings before you rely on the app.

Good to know

The app doesn't track the band's live position on the route, and it sends no messages on its own. Families get the reporting time when you tap the WhatsApp button.
AppCub builds Android apps. You can also share the app as a web link that opens on any phone; for the iPhone App Store, AppCub’s team can do it for you.

Questions

Can the app stop me from booking more teams than I have on one date?

Yes. Tell AppCub how many teams, ghodis and bagghis you have, and the diary warns when a date is full.

Can team leaders see their baraat details on their own phones?

Yes, with your own Supabase database and sign-in. Each leader sees the family, route, reporting time and musicians for their team.

Can the app work out what each musician is owed?

Yes. Each musician has a nightly rate, and the app totals the nights they played for the season.

Can I mark the baraat route on a map?

Yes. Ask for map pins for the janwasa and the venue, with a Google Maps button for directions. There is no live tracking of the band.

Can the app make a booking slip for the family?

Yes. It can make a PDF with the date, band size, extras, rate and advance, which you share on WhatsApp from the phone.
