Who's doing it, what it pays, and what nobody has built yet.
Every wedding season: banquet halls in Scarborough and Markham built for 1,200+ guest Tamil weddings.
Home businesses, Instagram DMs, wedding-season TikToks. Real, normal, proven.
| Saree pre-pleating | $15 – $25 |

Real GTA prices from the businesses on the last screen — the market Amma enters at. One wedding = one bride + many guests. Group work, one trip.
✗ Prices hidden in DMs — almost nobody publishes them
✗ Almost no websites — the rare ones broken or bare
✗ No online booking, anywhere
✗ No wedding directory even has a category for this
Customers find pleaters by scrolling Instagram for hours. Amma can be the Tamil sari service Google — and AI — can actually answer with.
The playbook works — a family just like ours built it. But they serve the Indian market — it's in their name: lehenga. The Sri Lankan Tamil sari market is still wide open, so they're proof, not competition. Plus: ~1,500 followers, no TikTok, prices hidden in a PDF Google and AI can't read.
In the UK, bridal dressers charge $400–600
to steam, dress, set jewellery, and stay through the day.
Nobody findable in the GTA offers it. First to list it wins the search.
