For seamless context and alignment, Atithi coordinates through a single primary point of contact per event — by default, the person who secures the booking.

You may designate domain leads for Dining, Décor, or Services who can make decisions in their area on your behalf.

Preferred Channel

WhatsApp is our primary communication channel — providing a convenient, threaded record of every conversation and decision across all service teams.
