The proverb “The
way to anyone’s heart is through their stomach”, fits up perfectly in the
scenario of an Indian wedding. After all, the main concern of the wedding host
(or Dulhan-wale) is to ensure that
every guest leaves happy-at-heart; and a key-deciding factor is food, which is
why the hosts of an Indian wedding shell out half of the wedding budget for
food catering department only.
When it comes
to the planning part, there are many things to choose from that can either make
a wedding a hit or a miss for the guests. Typically, hosts miss out on little
details which have a great impact on the dining experience of the guests. If
you’re reading this, you’ll probably be looking for some help. So, here is all
that what you need to take care of.
Number of Meal Courses
There are
usually three meal courses in an Indian wedding. The list starts with
appetizers being served at first including fried snacks, grilled paneer and
some cold drinks, which is followed by main course Indian food containing vegetables, bread, rice and continental
food. Desserts are also offered to the guests along with the main course Indian wedding food, which includes
ice-creams, faluda, jalebi and other sweet dishes. A Paan may also be offered as a mouth freshener. If the hosts want,
they can add another meal course or narrow down the list as per their liking's.
Deciding the Menu
After the
number of meals has been decided, the hosts will need to list out the dishes
which will be served in each category. A thing to take of is that the menu
shouldn’t contain items which have the same taste or are of same nature (i.e.
dry or gravy). A culture-based or theme based (for eg. royal Indian food) menu can also be opted for to make things a
little different. In addition, the host can also add dishes of other countries,
like Indo-Chinese, Pakistani halaal food etc.
Selecting the right caterer
Once you are
done with the finalizing the number of meals and the menu, the next step is to
list out all the Asian catering providers
which serve according to these offerings within your decided budget. If you are
stuck between 3-4 Indian caterers
and can’t decide whom you should choose, you can consider tasting their food
samples and lookout for cleanliness, taste, quality and such other factors. You
can also consult reviews from relatives. Coriander Manchester is a well-rated caterer by many.
Crockeries
Not many know
this, but the Asian wedding caterers
such as Coriander in UK provide
options for crockery. This adds up to the overall decoration and theme effect,
plus it also adds up to the experience of having food. Replacing those typical
round-white plates with something fancy would be great, right?
Professional
wedding caterers like Coriander group inLondon usually provide
additional services such as music, decoration, if one is in need of such. Looking
after all these in-advance will leave you with plenty of time in which you can
take care of other things such as decorations, guest lists, invitation cards
etc. If all goes the right way the guests would be extremely satisfied and the
wedding will surely be around in the news for a long time!
