Goa has emerged as a wedding destination for India and we are also seeing a surge of NRIs or PIOS coming to Goa for their weddings instead of their hometowns. Here is a question-answer interview with Chef Somnath Rakesh - Executive Chef of Taj Holiday Village and Taj Fort Aguada of when, how and most importantly what goes into planning of a wedding menu.
When is the ideal time to start planning a wedding menu?
Menu planning should start even before the destination is finalised as your rate negotiations would largely depend on the type or spread of your buffet. This gives you ample time to taste different dishes and finalise your selection. This also ensures flexibility in terms of arranging for any ethnic menu, cases of dietary restrictions depending on the age group attending the wedding or changes in guest count. A well-planned menu is essential for a memorable wedding reception.
