Re: Lessons you have learnt from other weddings…
Basically in the valima i went to there was only 250 people so it was pretty small like yours pareezay.
We sat in tables of 10 and there was a special table for bride and groom and the two families.
OK the service was amazing and there was more than enough food.
For starteres, the waiters bought out individual plates of- 2 somosas 2 sikh kebabs and then on table there were trays of chicken tikka and fried prawns and little things of chutney and sauces. The waiters walked around and if any chicken or prawn ran out then they bring more out and refil it…and it was fresh so the waiters must be watching and reporting which tables need more.
OK for main dishes:
The waiters took the starter plates way very efficiently and with no fuss…and then gave us larger plates.
Each table was served with a large plate of biriyani, a large bowl of chicken korma, some noodle type thing, a bhindi dish, and a fish curry and lots of fresh naan and salad and raita
again if anything ran out it was refilled.
for dessert- everyone was again was given individual plates- on it there was a gulab jamun, some kulfi and a mini cheesecake.
It was all delicious and no fuss. The catering service was amazing.
The thing is, i dont know how well it would work in pakistan! would people actually understand the concept? or start moaning/complaining or start walking around when ffood is being served, would children actually sit and eat…
In england (this valima), us, canada, austrailia etc its really normal to have sit down meals at events so everyone is used to it!
The dessert was served in this style
