The Delicious Food You’ll Discover at an Indian Wedding

On any ordinary day, Indian food is an incredible delight for the senses. But at an Indian wedding, the Indian wedding food will blow your mind

Traditionally in India, the food for the wedding is done by the bride’s parents who will seek out an Indian wedding caterer for the job. Sometimes though, the groom’s family will get a teensy say about some of the dishes, after all, the dishes ordered are the best of the best and are prepared to please the groom and his family.



The food in an Indian wedding is a feast fit for royalty. It begins with appetizers of both vegetarian and meat-filled varieties so that every guest can be happy. In most cases, drinks are also served during this time with alcoholic concoctions as well as mock-tails available to please drinkers and non-drinkers alike.

Following this, the main course will begin. The general rule of thumb when you hire out for Indian wedding catering is that weddings should offer guests the most sumptuous dishes. Likely, there will be an assortment of the most upscale dishes that range in meats. For example, you’ll likely find butter chicken and lamb curry. Paneer dishes add a bit more decadence to the mix as well. There will be vegetable dishes to accompany everything, not to mention different types of daals, pulao and breads. Don’t forget the salads and accompaniments.



The main course offerings tend to vary greatly between Indian weddings because they tend to follow in accordance with the cultural traditions of the region the couple (or the couple’s parents) are from. This is one meal that is beyond extravagant and opulent, serving only the most lavish delicacies from the respective Indian regions.

No feast like this would be complete without desserts. And no dessert selection would be complete without halva or barfi. The sweetness of the desserts helps to tame the spicy aftertastes of the decadent meal. Nowadays with Indian wedding food, you can expect a great deal of Western offerings like pastries as well as Western-style wedding cakes. The meal signals an end with the serving of paan. Should you have the good fortune to be invited to an Indian wedding, be sure to wear loose-fitting pants or a big dress. You won’t be leaving hungry!
