Sangeet and Mehendi Catering Ideas That Keep the Party Going

Pre-wedding functions are about music, colour and constant grazing. The food should be easy to eat while standing, and it should keep coming.

Think small plates and live counters

Guests move around at a sangeet, so choose finger food: paneer tikka, cutlets, dahi bhalla, pani puri, tikki and sandwiches. A live chaat or tikka counter also becomes a talking point.

Keep drinks flowing

• Mocktails, jaljeera and fresh lime soda in summer.
• Hot soup, tea and coffee in winter.
• A cold coffee or lassi counter at any time of year.

Plan a light dinner

A shorter main course of one dal, one paneer, one vegetable, pulao and breads works well, followed by a hot and a cold sweet. Read about our wedding catering for all ceremonies.
