Catering
Tamil marriages have a typical Vegetarian menu of scrumptious and sumptuous meals. There’s this pre-conceived notion among many people that no gastronomical delight is complete with non-vegetarian food, meat, fish or egg to be precise. But, excellent, quality and super delicious south Indian dishes change all that. It’s a full day of eating and you just can’t have enough of the tasty treat. Planning for your menu depends on two things. The first is your guest list and then the venue. The second defines the budget. If the budget is tight, then you can cut down on certain food items. It’s not like any other wedding from other parts of India where you have avenues for both vegetarian and non-vegetarian meals. Tamil Matrimony is a very religious and ritual-driven affair, steeped in pious customs and steady performance for the same. Any slack or tampering there would hamper the sanctity of the wedding altogether. Lastly, you need to know that it’s not all pomp and show in these weddings.
