First things first,

How do I book a wedding catering service in Gurgaon?

• The first step is to shortlist wedding reception caterers in Gurgaon. Begin with a Google search with the phrase, “wedding caterers near me.”
• Check the available options in your area and within your budget.
• Remember to look up reviews to order wedding caterers near you based on your order of preference.
• The next step is to get in touch with each caterer on your list and check their budget, availability, menu choices and serving styles.
• Most caterers offer free initial consultations. If the caterer asks you to pay outright before you have made a choice, then it’s best to skip the team.
• At Captain Joe, we offer free customised quotation for all our clients. Get in touch with our team to know more about our service style, food quality, and more.

Once you have zeroed in on your favourite wedding reception caterer in Gurgaon, make sure to seal the deal with an advance fee (or deposit) if needed. It’s always a good idea to start your search early, as the best wedding reception caterers in Gurgaon get booked months in advance.

Will my venue offer wedding catering services as well?

It depends on the venue you have chosen. Some marriage halls in Gurgaon, especially banquet halls at hotels require you to use their in-house catering team. While others give you the choice of choosing your preferred wedding catering service in Gurgaon.

So, make sure to check with your venue if they offer a caterer. With that said, you can always hire your preferred caterer for the best deals and high-quality meals.

What should I know before hiring a wedding reception caterer in Gurgaon?

The requirements of each couple and family are different. There are plenty of factors to consider – the size of your wedding guest list, the wedding ceremony time, the number of meals you plan to serve, meal style and much more.

The following list of questions can help you find the best wedding catering service in Gurgaon. Make sure to ask these questions to your caterer to ensure that you’re on the same page.

• Are you available on my big day? (This is the most important question. It doesn’t make sense to negotiate with the caterer only to find that they have other appointments on the same day).
• Do you serve only fixed menus? Or can I customise the menu to suit my style?
• Can we see a sample menu? Can we taste it?
• What are some of your famous dishes?
• Do you charge a fixed fee or is the cost calculated on a per-plate basis?
• How do you deal with extra guests? Or leftover food?
• What are the desserts you offer?
• Do you offer live food counters? What are your specialties?
• What about the cutlery, serving ware, furniture, etc.? Do you handle it all?
• Will you provide serving staff?
• Do you also make wedding cakes?
• Do you offer halal menus?
• What about child-friendly, allergy-friendly meals? Also can you serve guests with dietary restrictions?
• Have you served at my venue?
• What is the advance you require?
• Do you allow cancellations?
• What are your Covid-19 safety procedures?

What is the best food to serve at my wedding?

Anything you like! Yes, ultimately it’s your big day and the menu should reflect the personalities and tastes of the bride and groom. With that said, we recommend that you tailor the menu in accordance with the weather, so that guests can enjoy a relaxed meal with friends and family.

Here are a few novel wedding food ideas to serve in Gurgaon:

• Set up grazing tables – Tables stacked with snacks and finger eats – samosa, single-serve pizzas, appetisers, starters, puddings, cookies, cupcakes, etc. This way, your guests can indulge in whatever they like without having to sit down for a formal full-course meal.
• Sundae Bar – Let guests fix their favourite desserts and toppings.
• Set up live counters to keep the meals interactive and fun.

Will my caterer cater to guests with dietary requirements?

Yes, most wedding caterers offer special dishes for guests with dietary requirements. However, make sure to inform the caterer in advance, so that they can plan the meal accordingly. Last-minute changes especially on the day of the wedding reception are not entertained.

Can I check caterer reviews?

Yes. Check Google Reviews, social media feeds to find the latest reviews from previous customers. If you cannot find reviews online, you can ask your caterer to connect you with previous guests.

Do wedding caterers supply wait staff?

Yes, most caterers bring their team of wait staff, especially if you hire them for a full course meal or buffet. Make sure to check with your caterer the number of wait staff they’ll be providing for your big day. Also, check whether wait staff will handle the cleaning, seating guests and other miscellaneous tasks.

What is the cost of wedding caterer service in Gurgaon?

The final cost of your wedding catering depends on several factors like:

• Number of guest
• Menu
• Serving style
• Number of wait staff, etc.
