When it comes to weddings, there’s an unspoken truth that everyone acknowledges: the food is paramount. Sure, we’re there to celebrate the union of two souls, but let’s be honest—our hearts (and stomachs) eagerly anticipate the gourmet feast. It’s common to watch people line up to fill their plates before greeting the married couple. I’ll admit, I’m guilty of it.
With the wedding menu being the centrepiece of the celebration, it’s no surprise to see culinary spreads getting a fancy upgrade. Today, international chefs are flown down to plan creative plates, chole-bhature are replaced with truffle and burrata stations and ‘gram-worthy grazing tables are gaining momentum. While you’ll often see me sit in one corner of a wedding, digging into enticing flavours, I’m equally fascinated by what goes into planning such an extraordinary spread. We reached out to top gourmet caterers to uncover the secrets behind crafting those mouth-watering menus that make weddings unforgettable.
The Planning Process
The foundation of any great wedding feast begins long before the first dish is prepared. It’s a process that involves meticulous planning and a deep understanding of the couple’s vision. Bhakti Mehta, Chef and Founder of The Little Food Co. emphasises the importance of aligning the menu with the event’s overall aesthetic. “Decor at weddings is usually handled by event companies, so we work closely to match our platters and presentations to stay in sync with the theme,” she explains.
