How is reception catering different from a muhurtham meal?
The muhurtham lunch is seated and served on banana leaf. A reception is a buffet where guests arrive in waves over three to four hours, so we cook in batches and keep counters replenished until the last guest.
How many counters does a reception need?
As a rule of thumb we plan one buffet line per 250–300 guests arriving per hour, plus live counters to spread the crowd.
- Welcome drinks and passed starters
- Main buffet: North Indian, South Indian or both
- Live dosa, chaat, pasta or tandoor counters
- Dessert station with hot jalebi or kulfi

Reception Catering FAQs
Can you handle a reception and muhurtham the next morning?
Yes. Most of our wedding bookings cover both; the same kitchen team stays on site with a fresh shift for the morning.
Do you provide crockery and buffet décor?
We provide chafing dishes, counters and serving ware. Floral décor is arranged by your decorator; we coordinate layout with them.
How do you price a reception if guest numbers are uncertain?
We quote on a guaranteed minimum and charge actuals above it, confirmed with you the day after the event.
