Asparagus Events

For many of us wanting to party or organizing an event is a common happening. But standing in a position of an organizer and being able to enjoy the event simultaneously is that much hectic as you can imagine. Even a simple dinner party might prove to be nerve wracking when you have to prepare food on top of managing everything else. Let alone massive gatherings where it’s a matter of hundreds of guests. Hiring someone to cater is the easiest solution out there but if you want your guests to give you ‘the food was remarkable’ sort of pings then do some research before actually giving the responsibility to someone.

Quality of food should never be compromised upon, no matter what the scale of event is. This factor can make your event or even break it. The gorgeous groundwork and decorum will be forgotten immediately if their palates are not delighted. So get a taste of the cooking prepared by the catering company you are choosing which will let you assess the quality and presentation of the dishes.

The theme of your party should be thoroughly talked out with the company to see if they are willing and able to provide the range of your desire. Range of Offers and Services vary from company to company so confirm whether your requirements are met accordingly. Additionally you might also want to get first-hand knowledge about the equipment, utensils and other resources they are using so that it does not lead to a breach on the day itself.

Food safety and Hygiene is an absolute requirement. We wouldn’t want our guests to fall sick from attending the party and having food which was contaminated or prepared in unhygienic manner, would we? So hire a company who are aware and comply with the safety standards.

See how the company is setting their priorities. It matters how they are Available and Accessible. If a company is taking on too much of clients at a time then it’s an obvious case where your event might get messed up in terms of quality or other aspects. Obviously they won’t always come up clear with it, you have to understand that by how attentive they are of the details. Choose a company which you are able to access easily, be it location wise or communication wise. Some events just take more than one day of discussion and consultation so check likewise. Also follow-up for the event from both sides is very important to see if things are set for the day leading to your event’s success.

Always consider Experience to be a step towards leaving a lasting impression. If they have catered to substantial occasions, then it goes without saying that they will give you a service without lesser complaints. You might enquire with other clients from the reviews given for your satisfaction.

As much as you want to enjoy your own wedding, the stress which comes along with it can be overbearing. After all planning a wedding is an overwhelming and strenuous job. When you are still floating in the joy rush of your engagement, you might be out there looking for a dream house with your spouse or even selecting your wedding outfits or choosing furnishings but what becomes of that moment, when a buzz strikes your mind reminding you that an entire haul of planning is still resting upon your shoulders. You probably start browsing sites, check magazines, newspaper or consult with your experienced friends, acquaintances and soon an extensive gust of feeds start clouding up your mind. To save your pretty little mind from pondering, you and your fiancé might want to consult with a professional wedding planner. They have a lot at their disposal, on the grounds that, it is their field of expertise. So when you are having trouble taking a step ahead, it is best to put your faith in them. Just be sure to consider these points,

1.       You need to see whether you and they are able to comprehend each other. It is just like the case with your spouse, because you need to lay out your inner thoughts, images to them about your dream wedding just how like how you both decided together. Planners need to walk down the same path with you when it comes to your marriage so speak up your demands to see if you are satisfied with the outcome or not.

2.       Next important thing should be your budget. Planners are supposed to provide you a cost efficient proposition which otherwise would cost you a lot more if you contact vendors individually. So state out your budget and see how they are prioritizing and saving you from an unnecessary spend.

3.       A planner who can manage things out in a given time span will pull you out through your entire ordeal gracefully. What you need to confirm is that, if your checklist is being guaranteed or not. Also check for a service provider who can look after all the aspects like hospitality, logistics, decoration, artists which will ensure you a harmonious event management.

4.       Make sure to have a look at your planner’s portfolio too. This will give you a picture of their specialization and you may be able to accommodate your thoughts into them, or elaborate and expand your theme from them. You may look them up on social platforms for reviews and comments from experienced clients. And don’t opt for virtual planning, go meet them in person. It will allow you to soak and immerse in the ambience of wedding planning.

Imagining your wedded life? Well i’m sure it’s a pretty one but how about we think of the more pressing matters that will lead the passage to your happily wedded life. For instance, like the correct venue for your wedding. While there are many aspects to consider, not being able to host the wedding in your desired place might leave a permanent spot of regret on the memories of your big-day. So start looking into venues if you have decided to get married along with your spouse even before your wedding date is fixed because great venues often tend to be booked 12 months prior to the weddings. Selecting and blocking the date would be the best option because other factors like – catering, decoration, guest list size depends wholly on the space you have. In the process you might also get to see each other in a new light as influx from online streaming can sometime deviate you into liking something not fitting the aesthetics you bear. Here are a few points to keep you from pondering:

SET YOUR BUDGET CLEAR -

Staying within what is possible will clear out a lot of non-feasible options which just wastes your time ultimately. It is more than just the renting cost of the place when have other things and vendors to buy & hire. So on top of knowing your overall budget, a breakdown based on category is just as important which will give you a clear picture about what to prioritize on.

 GET SOME ANSWERS -

·         Do you picture yourself in a specific wedding theme or do you like indoor or outdoor setting or having a fixation over beach sides or garden villas or elegant banquet halls?

·         Get to know about venue timelines because some have restrictions due overtime, it’s un-happening if you and your guests have to stop in between partying and enjoying. Also sort out things like if you want amplified music setups or not as certain venues do not allow it.

·         Confirming a back-up plan means in case any mishap were to occur in the venue just before or on the big day, what would be their emergency measurements?

·         How many people would you like to witness your wedding? Couples very likely underestimate their wish to invite people and how many more their parents would want to add. Cramming your guest list of 500 in a space which accommodates only 300 isn’t a favourable choice.

·         Are the venues you shortlisted accessible for your guests and vendors?

·         Consider accommodations for your out-of-town guests. If your house and the venue does not have enough rooms, then try choosing a place which will have hotels nearby and if it is safe or not.  They would also want to stay comfortably.

 PLANNER METHOD -

After you have sorted these question and answers, you can confirm the same with a wedding planner because they are the pros of the industry and know about the nooks and corner where it is definitely impossible for common people to set foot into. There, your planner might be your ultimate guide and rescuer.

 LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST -

Before confirming, it is very important to understand the venue itself.  Like whether they include any rentals within the price stated, clauses for cancellations, do they have security cameras well working, is the parking space suitable enough to hold all of the transport medium in one particular area or you need to rent a separate area, what will be the range of privacy for your function in case your venue has the system of keeping multiple events on the same day?. And after everything also see if you are getting that vibe from the location. If you keep having doubts and sleepless nights due to that, it might not be the correct place for your big day.

If you are thinking about giving it a rest after having your mind being wrecked with all the issues over the wedding venue, then it’s still early for that because the other task left to be prioritized over is none other than that of food arrangement. It will not just be a handful of dishes to select and prepare but a lot more than that to choose a fine menu matching with the wedding theme and also satisfying your guests. Remember that a delightful layout of menu holds the key to delightful wedding as recent trends have shown that people quite take into what they are being fed. Wedding menu obviously calls for a caterer and whether be it in-house caterer or one from your wedding planner or any individual set up, it’s better to start discussing menu ideas with them from an early stage. Here’s how to mark a caterer correct.

 The first thing which you should see is the quality of the food they are offering. Get a taste of some dishes prepared by them. Not being able to please the palates of your guests might remain as a topic amongst them. Check the presentation of the dishes also. The way the food is served is equally important as the taste of the food. In the process get your caterer to show you their quality of crockery & cutlery used, equipment, chafing dishes, attire of the staff also. Good food with bad appearance might just place a zero on your efforts. Additionally it is also better to include an ingredient alert on the foods for people with allergic reactions.

 If you are opting for seated dinner then it is advisable to have a prior look at whether they are having adequate staff count, the linens, seating arrangements, serving style, how prompt the staff is, in removing the used dishes & taking care of any spills etc. Confirm regarding housekeeping staffs too.

 It is a must for the caterers to maintain food safety and hygiene standards at all costs. People who are not maintaining these should be a straight no.  You need to assure that they are up front about their services to you and not taking up schedules here and there only to ruin your event due to lack of overseers.

 Talk about the costing and charges clearly, as different set-ups charge differently. Some charge on per plate basis while some on fixed contract rate over the number of heads specified. In some cases charges vary with types of snacks arranged or movable service provided or where there are hard drinks involved. Even in cases where the client arranges the drinks, bartenders are needed nonetheless which may or may not be included in their fixed charges.

A wedding ceremony is such a ceremony where two people take a step together into the future and their kith and kin along with them. So when we are talking about forming bonds and creating memories, it should be such that it brings a smile on the faces every time they are remembering the ceremony.

Especially when the wedding ceremony is of India which has a lot of extravagant colours and culture, even more so when it is a wedding ceremony held in Bengal. Bengali weddings are a long and extravagant event, which include a lot of ritual based mini ceremonies, selection of venue,  wedding attires, culinary delights etc. Now as the families and their thoughts and believes also play an important role in this, it is customary to keep that in mind and plan the traditional rituals. In order to enjoy the ceremony without any glitches it is better to plan and prepare the necessary arrangements beforehand keeping an ample amount of time from the marriage date. That way even if any minute but matter of significance is missed out, it can be taken care of which might remain unattended if time is short.

The first step of the Bengali wedding, that is after the man and woman have agreed to marry each other, starts with Adan Pradan where two families, that of the bride and groom, meet to decide an auspicious date for marriage, accompanied by a priest who then refers according to the Hindu Panjika. Families also exchange gifts in order to mark the beginning of their new relationship. Upon finalization of a date the priest makes a list of item which needs to be prepared for the wedding ceremony. Along with this a date for Ashirbaad is also decided, when the family of the groom visits the bride to bless her for an upcoming fruitful life and inclusion in their family. It is done with dhan or rice with the husk and dubyo or trefoil leaves. Gifts are also a part of this which generally include, gold jewellery, family heirlooms, sarees made of silk etc. Same is done for the groom on another date. The jewellery is worn by the bride on the day of the ceremony.  Later the day is followed by lunch or brunch where close friends and relatives also join in.

After this comes the planning for celebration which includes deciding on the venue, Catering services, Flower arrangements, Lighting and decoration etc. For these one can hire a professional wedding  planner or do it themselves if they want. The decoration for Chandnatola is very important as this is the main place for the ritual to take place, and also the photos taken along with it. A place which can accommodate the Bor Jatri and other guests needs to be sorted out, because people might not be able to enjoy themselves in a clustered place.

As the day approaches the bride and groom are given the Aiburo Bhaat, their last meal as being unmarried, which marks the starting of the celebration in Bengali weddings. Companions to the bride and the groom, that is nitkone and nitbor is also decided, who will accompany them both from the day of aiburo bhaat till the reception. This is a very unique custom found in the Bengali weddings. Apart from selecting the Bridal wear which is generally a Benarasi saree, bangles known as Shankha and Pola worn by the bride, Vermillion, chandan and turmeric powder, customized garlands for Mala Bodol required during the ceremonies are also preprared. Likewise punjabi, dhoti and topor are arranged for the groom. Other rituals like Ganga Nimantran, Dodhi Mangal, Nandi Mukh, Gaye Holud are a part of the Bengali Wedding.

When it comes to Bengali wedding, food is of a crucial importance. As there are a lot of varieties to choose from, it is also a time consuming factor. Deciding on the menu almost starts a few days from after the date of marriage is decided. It is also a fun activity for the family, where young or active folks debate a lot, go into dilemma a lot but ultimately come to a peaceful conclusion. Then comes the discussion part with the Catering service. Different options are decided for Vegetarian and Non Vegetarian eaters. Food is prepared not only for the main day but for other days also. As the event continues for 4 to 5 days, so relatives, long distance friends tend to stay and enjoy a little vacay. This is same for both sides.

This is a vital part because not only it is a matter of budget but also about wanting to satisfy the guests with different exquisite delicacies. And as always it is easier said than done. Selecting fresh ingredients, cooking conditions, utensils etc. are all very important factors resulting to a good and appetizing menu. No celebration bodes well on an empty stomach, so always special attention is needed for this.

Making arrangements for Tatwa is also crucial as it includes things for the couple to use in their daily lives, and gifts for the elders and children of the family.

After the wedding ceremony and Biday is over, it is time for welcoming the bride home called Bodhu Boron. The mother in Law welcomes the bride with Aarti and the bride needs to walk on a white cloth after stepping into a vessel filled with alta and milk. These footprints symbolise the entry of Goddess Lakshmi into the household. As the bride enters the household she needs to see boiling milk rising out of the container to keep the household in surplus.

This is followed by Kaal Ratri when both of them stay in separate rooms a custom very unique to Bengali wedding, followed by Bou Bhaat on the next day where the groom is supposed to accept the responsibility for the bride. In the evening a reception party is organized by groom’s family which is again a gathering of family and friends. Here the people from the bride’s side known as Kone Jatri are the main guests. They also bring a lot of things like tatwa, floral ornaments for the bride, mishti doi, khoi etc.

This is last part of the wedding ritual called the night of Phool Shajya where the bed is decorated with flowers for the couple and it is customary for the bride to wear the floral jewellery and for them to eat khoi and mishti doi  before they spend their first night together.

The type of event would define the type of catering service which would suit to your event is really important. If you are confused to choose between a catering service and package buffet in hotels then here is the one thing which you should know: One option is not better than another. When it comes to choose your food style, you should consider few things such as type of event, budget and theme of your occasion. Buffet is termed with a system of serving the meals which is placed to any public area where generally the dinners are served. Buffets are offered at various places mainly in hotels, restaurants and other events. Package buffets mainly offered where people can eat food according to a fixed price. The package menus have a course of meal set by the hotels. The prices were also set by the weight of dishes or the number of dishes. Catering Unit also has buffet system but that doesn’t enclose with any kind of package. Every course of meal can be selected by the clients and according to the preference they can input or output the items whereas hotels may not allow customizing the meals. Package buffet offers large quantity of food depending on a particular cuisine but catering unit has ample of varieties and guests can customize the menus according to their own. Package buffets in hotels arrange the food on table and show a clear flow where the guests can serve by themselves or they can request the server behind the buffet table. In the catering there are many guests who select buffet service as their service where they could get the services according to their choices. This is true that the service of package buffets in hotels serves in different way than a catering service.

Here we can discuss about a catering unit which is not having any less importance than any hotel. Now it became a brand and getting renowned with everybody’s mouth words. Asparagus Catering Unit serves fresh food which left an impression to everyone and that is the most prominent difference between a catering unit and package buffet in hotels. Catering Unit can only provide fresh raw materials according to the designated menu selected by the guests and this is the only reason why majorities of people choose catering unit over the food package of hotels. Asparagus Catering Unit’s taste of every dish is very delicious according to any comparison with any hotels. They conveyed innovative, creative and centralized theme buffet presentations. Asparagus Catering Unit’s creativity refers to something very unusual and creative which is produced by an imaginative thought of every members of their unit. Innovation refers to some kind of new ideas incorporating the changing style of presentation and food as well. Asparagus’s appealing presentations of food is very significant for their buffet arrangements. Stylish presentations can keep in various factors in mind like the colors, taste, texture, garnish, methods of preparations and many more. Asparagus wide range of dishes and the options of unlimited portions can make its buffet size popular. Asparagus Catering Unit has varieties of food and it has different styles as well. They know how to set a plan to organize the service style to serve in a better way. They applied various methods of food which can be served on the guest table.

Fuel surcharge is very expensive in the economical ground for any business. These surcharges are absorbing the cost for food and catering services. Food & Catering services are although actively important in food delivery purpose as well. So many catering companies have stopped this platform by road. Many catering business owners also have confirmed that they are increasing their charges due to transportation or some of the units are still thinking to take any action for the charge. Few of them are still afraid that this kind of action may turn away the clients or customers who are feeling the effect of a slow moving economy. It has both good and bad impact in economic industry. It affects the transportation cost and transportations are involved in every way related to everything. Transportation is the only medium for any kind of business growth. So if the fuel charges increase it affects the gas, oil and petrol. The things which are run by these elements may have a high impact on the business. Food and Catering industry gets affected mostly by the fuel surcharge as it involves gas, oil and some cases fuel too. Food vs. Fuel is generally a dilemma regarding the farmland or any crops of the food supply. This is a significant issue with a controversial disagreement. This may affect the uncertainty which have a greater impact and loopholes of feedback which have positive and negative effects on price system.

Any kind of occasion is incomplete without delicious mouth-watering delicacies. When it comes to Asparagus Catering Unit, the food menu and its quality leaves an inevitable apprehension. For a large scale event, Asparagus Catering Unit appears in disguise which was a form of blessings to the guests. Every Catering Unit charge for per head and so with Asparagus which includes the cost of electricity, gas, marketing costs, labour costs and many more. With the adjustment of fuel surcharge Asparagus Catering Unit charges has not exceeded that much as the guest always becomes the topmost priority for them. Asparagus offers plenty of buffet stalls as well in the event venue along with groomed staffs who serve buffet and snacks to their every guest which not at all depend on the fuel surcharge. The location is an entirely very important factor for catering business. As a catering unit, the location is important for the fuel surcharge as this surcharge includes gas, fuel, oil etc. Selecting a Caterer is also a crucial part for the customer as well. A caterer from local area may offer a lower rate than a caterer who are far from the locations as the charge will include the travelling costs and other expenses.

Covid-19 brought the entire catering industry to an abrupt halt. Generally customers search for “caterers near me” in Google and book caterers for their event after a thorough research on them. The catering industry is one of the top sectors impacted by the financial blow of the Covid-19 pandemic. Most of the businesses were about to close for months and social gatherings were need to be stopped. Despite these unprecedented challenges, caterers in Kolkata have transitioned their business models avoiding to Covid-19. We continue to re-open safety and due to precautions the biggest question in our customer mind is: will this affect the menu pricing in future? Let’s tackle the pressing question in this post. The catering industry has been primarily affected by the food and products shortage since mid-March. Prices on meat supplies have almost doubled and it isn’t easy to procure fresh products in large quantities. As a result, groceries, fresh products and other essential ingredients have spiked significantly. Even though the lockdown has been lifted, there are additional restrictions still in some places. So by this we can assume that prices will continue go up for the rest of the year. As a Food & Beverage expert we deal with another significant challenge. Social distancing guidelines have to adhere to the workplace. Additionally, we caterers have to invest heavily in procuring quality PPE and safety gear for all staffs-kitchen workers, delivery personnel, and serving staffs. So as a result a minimum amount is added with menu costs of masks, sanitizers, hand-gloves, head cap etc for staffs. In this long term additional costs will have to be borne by clients. To remain sustainable in the long run, caterers will be forced to strike a delicate balance between increasing their menu pricing while avoiding over-charging to customers. But at this point we Asparagus Catering Unit decided not to increase our menu pricing. We believe that we must honor the commitment made to our clients. Hence we are currently working on budget and price we have previously quoted to our clients. To know more about our pricing, you can enquire online or get in touch with our team. As a short term solution maximum catering units are forced to adapt business offerings which include-delivery only meal catering, packed food, box lunches etc. Some caterers also charging a re-booking fee who postpone their events to win customers confidence. Asparagus Catering Unit is doing contactless food catering in Kolkata at some point.

During these covid-19 pandemic, our chefs and team members have an innovative solutions in hand to make your small get together memories memorable – drop off food catering in Kolkata.

In our present scenario we are realizing that handling any kind of social events must be a big challenge for any event planner and venue organizer. Nowadays, events are becoming an essential feature in our community and bringing people together from the community to celebrate. Before planning an event we follow few measures during this COVID-19 pandemic by which we can safely deal with our clients and they can also see whatever safety precaution we are taking. In this post we are going to take a deep dive into safe events that how we are handling events and this might create a milestone in event industry and every event planner may follow this steps while going forward with any event.

Here are the points as follows:

i.   Choosing proper venues will entail evaluating the safety measures for clients and other staff members. We as a venue partner focus on a particular areas in order to provide their requirements for safer meetings and events, maintaining safety protocols for both staffs and guests.

ii.  We check everything before getting started because it’s important to check everything starting with the venues that what are the safety measures they are following. We explore the venues that have to be fully equipped with tools and other resources to keep events heading back in the right direction. By this, each and every client would get a clear vision about the planner and the way we planned the events.

iii.  When it comes to Food & Beverage in events, at this moment self service or buffet likely won’t be viable option for a while. So now we are arranging platter to plate or seated dine-in for most of our guests. This could be an alternate option if there are ample numbers of trainee or staff members with proper sanitization. Sometimes these extra steps of precaution could be a bit expensive.

iv.  We always have a solid communication plan with our clients and update every measure.

v.   This is also a very important point for these days that we take interview of our clients and make a social media live of their entire event to show viewers/audience how an event planner plan a wedding with full of safety. Client’s relatives or guests can also join the live and virtually attend the wedding too.

Safety Instructions:

We have set specific on-boarding materials to our attendees prior to the event to let them know about important safety measures and make sure they can prepare everything accordingly. So here we have included few safety measures:

i.   Wearing masks and set rules on social distancing in the event field and appoint a team of coordinator.

ii.  We implemented temperature check on arrival of guests and provide masks and other safety gears.

iii.  A review of standard safety guidelines such as frequent hand-washing or using hand sanitizer.

iv.  We establish a protocol for entry and exit part of venue.

v.   Although we have set our own regulations in place about serving food as we are one of the most potential Catering service provider. We also keep few things in mind if needed to serve food during the event. We provide the staffs with an opportunity to sanitize their hands and wearing gloves and head cap so that they can safely serve foods.

When it comes to plan an event, our unit provides end to end services which starts from venue selection. When a planning is about to start, this is the foremost concern for every guest to choose a venue according to their location and preference of date. Keeping a moderate budget for every middle class family, we have sorted such venues in Kolkata which can be flexible for every guest and those are all in connected areas. According to their number of heads guests can choose those venues as all of those venues have indoor and outdoor options. In most of the cases guest option out for outdoor venues and while having an open space, those venues require extravagant decoration where we plan everything depending on the guest need.

Asparagus Hospitality arranged these services for every guest keeping the budget in mind.

IMPORTANCE OF HIRING A BUDGET VENUE:

There are a lot of things that go into throwing a successful event, but the two factors that should be on top of your mind are the venue and the budget. Budgeting is always remaining on top of every occasion and this budgeting helps to get your vision clear about the event. And when it comes to organizing any event budget always comes first. Fixing a budget will help you to proceed for your next step and that is about the selection of venues. Once you have got your budget set, you will need to itemize it. With a properly laid out plan, you can figure out where to spend your money to make your guests enjoy your soiree without breaking the bank. A special event encompasses everything from a simple family reunion to wedding gatherings. No matter the size or the complexity of your special event, sticking to a budget is always easy to plan all components and its hidden expenses. Research on the actual cost of each service gives an accurate idea of what the event will cost. This will help you to avoid over spending your budget. If your event is smaller, think about inviting small pax in order to save on service charges. These savings may allow you to expand your budget in decorations or entertainment.

 WHAT POINTS SHOULD BE KEPT IN MIND WHILE BOOKING:

Once you have a good understanding of the following things, you are fair enough to start a search for a venue: availability, space requirements, budget and location.

Book a venue once the date is finalized so that you will get enough time to plan about other critical things such as preparing guest list, finding a proper caterer, planning the decorations and also many other things. Nowadays, after selecting a date, everyone’s concern is about getting a proper venue. Hence the following things must be kept in mind before selecting an event venue:

TYPE OF EVENT:

When you are conducting an event, make sure what it is about. Every venue has its own standard and terms. If it’s about wedding then few venues have some conditions that fire or hawan cannot be done over there, where as you can opt that venue for your get together, family functions, social events or any other purpose. Apart from social events, if you have any kind of corporate gatherings or cocktail night then also few venues don’t have the license of liquor arrangements. So this has to be first and foremost option before choosing an appropriate venue.

LOCATION:

Venue’s location is the second most important point to focus on. You may find few venues which are located on the outskirts of the town. They may be well appointed but and also available at great price but before you jump on that booking; think twice about your number of invitees.

 COST:

Before you start your venue search, you need to decide your budget. When your search is specifically for budget venues, you need to be more particular about the steps; somehow you also need to compromise for location, space or a bit of your costing. Also to remember that a low cost venue or budget venues may have hidden costs or you can receive a much more basic service. It very much depends on the type of event you are looking to run.

SPACE SPECIFICATIONS:

Be sure about the space you have selected for your event. Depending on your event and according to your needs you have to select the space. Look for flexibility keeping in mind that you may well want to use the venue for other events in the future.    

AMENITIES:

Most of the venues provide basic amenities according to the event to their every client. Always be sure of what you have committed to be given and what you are getting on the day of event. You should also check on your own or ask the venue supervisors to check the venue audio/visual equipments, charging port and free wi-fi. Be ensured about parkings and clean rest rooms. May your venue offer on-site catering service and this can be a boon, when you are booking a venue.

SUMMARY:

These are only a basic guide for hiring a budget venue or a professional event venue. Before you agree to any booking, you should take the time to visit the venue in question, and talk over your plans with the staff and management. You should also check online for customer reviews and testimonials to ensure that the venue you choose is reputable and reliable.

 Airport City Banquet:

WHETHER IT IS AN ELABORATE WEDDING RECEPTION, BIRTHDAY, FAMILY GET TOGETHER OR A CASUAL OR FORMAL CORPORATE PARTY, PLANNING THE MENU FOR AN EVENT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT AND EVERYONE’S PRIMARY CONCERN.

WHEN IT COMES TO THE THINGS WHICH CAN MAKE OR BREAK AN EVENT, THERE ARE FEW POINTS TO CONSIDER WHICH THE SERVICE OF YOUR SERVE IS ABOUT THE QUALITY OF FOOD, THE FLAVOUR ETC. SELECTING A CATERING SERVICE FOR YOUR EVENT IS NOT AT ALL EASY AS YOU NEED TO GO THROUGH VARIOUS DECISION MAKING PROCESS BEFORE HIRING THE BEST ONE. UNFORTUNATELY THERE IS NO GRADING SYSTEM FOR CATERERS AND ANYBODY CAN START THEIR OWN CATERING BUSINESS IF THEY HAVE THE ABILITY. THERE ARE SO MANY UNITS WHICH ARE NOT RENOWNED BUT STILL HAVE THE SENSE TO MAKE IT GOOD BY THEIR OWN CONCEPT AND THIS IS ALL UP TO YOU THAT HOW YOU ARE FINDING THE RIGHT ONE. BUT YES, A KNOWLEDGEABLE AND EXPERIENCED CATERING TEAM CAN YOU MAKE YOUR TASK A BIT EASIER, SO IT REQUIRES BIT TIME TO FIND THE APPROPRIATE COMPANY ON WHICH YOU CAN RELY COMPLETELY.

NOT ONLY THE FOOD IS IMPORTANT, BUT ALSO THERE ARE SOME OTHER ASPECTS LIKE CROCKERY-UTENSILS, GLASSWARE AND ALL THE OTHER CATERING EQUIPMENT WHICH WILL HELP YOU TO FIND A PROPER CATERING SERVICE.

SO HERE I AM GOING TO SHARE SOME FACTORS BEFORE HIRING ANY PROFESSIONAL CATERING SERVICE.

BUDGET:

THIS IS THE FIRST AND PRIMARY PART THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE TO DEFINE YOUR BUDGET BEFORE CHOOSING ANY EFFICIENT ONE. ADD THE FACT THAT CATERERS CAN VARY DRAMATICALLY IN THEIR PRICING AND THE TYPE OF MEALS AND SERVICES THEY OFFER. ALTHOUGH WE HAVE A SAYING THAT “YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR”, SO THE CHEAPEST OPTION MAY NOT GIVE THE BEST RESULT.

GOOD CATERERS WILL PROVIDE AN ITEMIZED QUOTATION WHICH INCLUDES EVERYTHING; ENSURE YOU TO SMOOTH RUNNING AN EVENT.

BE SPECIFIC REGARDING YOUR NEEDS AND EXPECTATIONS:

CATERERS OFFER VARIOUS MENUS AND ITS PRICING STRUCTURES SO THAT COMPARING FACTORS INCREASED AND IT CAN BE QUITE CHALLENGING. BE SPECIFIC REGARDING THE TYPE OF YOUR EVENT AND WHAT TYPE OF CUISINE AND SERVICE YOU WOULD LIKE SERVED. A PROSPECTIVE CATERER THAT IS GENUINELY INTERESTED IN GAINING BUSINESS, SHOULD TAKE TIME TO GET TO KNOW YOU, LEARN ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS AND ASK MANY QUERIES ABOUT YOUR EVENT AND YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE MENU.

RATINGS:

NOWADAYS THIS IS A KEY NOTE BEFORE HIRING ANY ESTABLISHED PROFESSIONAL ONE. EVERYONE GO THROUGH WITH DIFFERENT ONLINE SEARCH BUT RATING IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ABOVE OF EVERYTHING. APPARENTLY RATINGS ARE DEPENDING UPON CLIENT’S FEEDBACK AND BESIDES THIS FACT EVERYONE SHOULD GET TO KNOW THEIR POSITION IN CATERING INDUSTRY.

EXPERIENCE COUNTS:

THE EVENT YOU ARE PLANNING NEEDS EXPERIENCE, SO PINCH OF MISTAKES SHOULD BE AVOID THAT YOU HAVE USED PREVIOUSLY FOR YOUR EVENT. INSTEAD OF SPEAKING, SEARCH ABOUT THEM ON ONLINE AS NOWADAYS EVERYONE TRY TO MAKE VISIBLE THEIR OWN BUSINESS. THIS ONLINE SEARCH CAN EASILY HELP OUT TO KNOW ABOUT THEM AS YOU CAN GET ALL OF THE DETAILS. A GOOD CATERER WHO WANTS TO KEEP YOU AS A CLIENT WILL NOTIFY YOU IF THEY CANNOT DELIVER THE KIND OF MENU YOU ARE SEEKING.

FOOD SAMPLING:

AFTER GETTING AN OVERVIEW ABOUT YOUR PREFERRED CATERING SERVICE AND GETTING VIEW ABOUT THE RATES MAKE SURE ABOUT THE FOOD SAMPLING OR TASTING. DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF THE CATERING BUDGET AND THE TYPE OF EVENT BEING PLANNED, SOME CATERERS OFFER A TASTING OPTION SO YOU CAN LITERALLY GET A TASTE OF WHAT THEY ARE YET TO PROVIDE. FEW CATERERS MAY CHARGE FOR THE TASTE SAMPLING OR FEW OTHERS MIGHT NOT. IT MAINLY DEPENDS ACCORDING TO THE ELABORATION OF YOUR EVENT AND BUDGET.

FLEXIBILITY ABOUT MENU OPTIONS:

EVERY CATERER HAS THEIR OWN STANDARD MENU OR MENUS TO CHOOSE FROM AND MANY DO PROVIDE SOME LEVEL OF FLEXIBILITY TO SET THE MENUS ACCORDING TO YOUR NEEDS BY SUBSTITUTING SPECIFIC ITEMS AND/OR CUSTOMIZING WITH OTHERS.

THE STAND OUT CATERERS GO OUT BEYOND THE STANDARD MENU OPTIONS AND BE WILLING TO CREATE  AMAZING PRICES THAT MATCHES EVEN MORE SPECIFIC THEME AND DIETARY NEEDS.

REFERENCES:

YOU NEED TO CHECK UP ON THE CATERERS THAT YOU ARE CONSIDERING WHILE CHOOSING AND AS I SAID THAT IT’S ALWAYS GOOD TO START FROM ONLINE SITES. DON’T STOP YOURSELF TO CHECK REVIEWS ON THEIR SITES AND FROM THE REFERENCE CLIENTS. SO IF YOU SEE YOU CAN TRACK DOWN SOME PAST CLIENTS OF THE CATERERS YOU ARE CONSIDERING AND REACH OUT TO THEM.

RESEARCH:

ALWAYS LISTEN TO THE MOUTH OF RECOMMENDATION. NO AMOUNT OF ADVERTISEMENTS CAN REPLACE A GOOD RECOMMENDATION FROM SOMEBODY YOU KNOW AND TRUST. CHECK WITH THE MANAGEMENT TEAM OF CATERERS THEY HAVE WORKED EARLIER.

SPECIALITIES:

YOU MAY REQUIRE SOME CERTAIN TYPE OF SPECIALITIES TO MATCH THE THEME OR CONCEPT OF EVENT: E.G – INDIAN, CHINESE, MUGHAL, CONTINENTAL, MEXICAN, ITALIAN ETC AND NOTHING BUT DESSERTS TOO. DESSERTS ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR IN EVERY TYPE OF EVENT. SO EVERYONE SHOULD CONSIDER THIS STEP BEFORE HIRING ANY PROFESSIONAL TEAM.

ON-SITE KITCHEN:

IF QUALITY MATTERS TO YOU MOST, THEN IT IS THE BEST THAT THE FOOD TO BE COOKED ON-SITE SO THAT IT WOULD SERVE FRESHLY.  THIS FACTOR MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE OVER PRE-COOKED FOOD IN BOTH OF TEXTURE AND TASTE. PRE-COOKED FOOD AND ON-SITE COOKING PROCEDURE CAN ALSO DIFFERS IN MOST OF THE CASES LIKE IF THE VENUE YOU HAVE CHOSEN FOR YOUR EVENT, HAS NO KITCHEN SPACE THEN THE PROFESSIONALS HAS NO OPTION TO GO FOR PRE-COOKED FOOD SO IT’S UP TO YOU TO FIND AN APPROPRIATE VENUE WHICH HAS A  SPACE TO PREPARE THE FOOD.

CERTIFICATIONS:

WHEN YOU HAVE DECIDED TO HIRE SOMEONE, MAKE SURE THEY ARE CERTIFIED BY MEETING THE BASIC REQUIREMENTS AS MANDATED BY HEALTH DEPARTMENTS. IF THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO PROVIDE SUCH CERTIFICATES, IT MIGHT BE BETTER TO MOVE ONTO THE NEXT CANDIDATE BEFORE YOU HAVE A DISASTER ON YOUR HANDS. BECAUSE NOWADAYS EVERYONE IS CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR HEALTH, SO THIS POINT SHOULD BE IN TOP POSITION BEFORE HIRING SUCH PROFESSIONALS.

STAFF AVAILABILITY:

FOR YOUR EVENT WHEN YOU ARE IN SEARCH OF ANY CATERING UNIT, YOU SHOULD HAVE TO CHECK ABOUT THEIR STAFF AVAILABILITY FOR YOUR EVENT. IF YOU ARE HAVING BUFFET ARRANGEMENTS THEN STAFF AVAILABILITY MUST BE MEDIUM IN SIZE AS EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE TO STAND IN FRONT OF BUFFET. IF THERE ARE SITTING ARRANGEMENTS THEN YOU SHOULD ASSUME ONE SERVER PER EVERY TWO TABLES OR MORE.

DETAIL ORIENTED:

THIS IS THE QUALITY THAT YOU SHOULD EXPECT FROM ANY OF YOU VENDORS. THE CLAUSES SHOULD BE WRITTEN EXPLICITLY IN YOUR CONTRACT IN DETAILS. MAKE SURE YOU AND YOUR CATERER HAVE DISCUSSED EVERYTHING IN THE CONTRACT SO THERE ARE NO SURPRISES IN THE END AND ALL THE NOTES ARE WORKED OUT PRIOR TO YOUR EVENT.

CANCELLATION TERMS AND POLICY:

EVERY CATERING BUSINESS HAS THEIR LEGAL TERMS ITSELF BUT YOU SHOULD CHECK THESE TERMS WITH OTHER COMPANIES AS WELL. WHEN YOU ARE CONSIDERING A CATERING UNIT FOR YOUR EVENT, BEFORE FINALIZING EVERYTHING YOU SHOULD ASK THEM ABOUT THEIR CANCELLATION TERMS AND POLICIES. SOME COMPANIES MAY DIFFER FROM OTHERS BUT THAT YOU SHOULD TAKE INTO YOUR KNOWLEDGE SO THAT IT WOULD HELP YOU TO KNOW THEM IN DETAIL AND YOU CAN OBSERVE THE TRANSPARENCY WHETHER THEY ARE HONEST IN THEIR BUSINESS OR NOT.

CONCLUSION:

Traditional Bengali Cuisine is a culinary style, originating from Bengal and its Eastern region of the Indian Sub-Continent, which is now divided between Bangladesh and the Indian States of West Bengal.  The dishes are rich and varied in its platter starting from snacks to main course to sweet.  Although the food habits, taste and preference differs a lot according to the choice of items vary from different districts, communities and religions, but the basic meal remain same with rice and fish. So Bengali is often typified as “Mache Bhaate Bangali”. Bengali Cuisine is known for its flavors and use of spices and a well spread of its confectionaries and desserts.

Bengali Cuisine can be sub-divided into four different types of dishes: Charbya (the food that is chewed, such as rice or it’s similar), Chashya (the food that is sucked, such as sour foods), Lehya (the food that is meant to be licked, like chutney and Peya (that includes dairy products like milk, yoghurt etc).

Though Bengalis are called foodies, there are some quips like “Bengalis live to eat” and “Bengalis spent most of their income on food” are not exactly exaggerated. The very early morning they get ready for shopping fresh vegetables; fish etc. is the prerogative of the head of the family, even in affluent household because the master can only think that he can bring all these at his best bargain price. Bengalis are very much particular about the taste of the food and the way it is served for and the cutlery crockery may also take an important role in some cases. Each and every dish is to be eaten separately with small portion of rice with a pinch of salt and ghee (not mandatory) so that individual quantity of dishes can be enjoyed. After this the bitter preparation comes which is known as Shukto, followed by Lentil or Dal with some fried vegetables and some less spicy veggies preparation joined next after, like chochori, ghonto and sometimes cooked with fish head too. Finally the recipe chicken, mutton or fish takes place with its traditional fragrance and taste. Chutney comes to clear the palate with some fried and crisp papads. Rasogolla and Mishti Doi are must needed items in every Bengalis palate. The meal is finally concluded with Betel Leaf (paan) which is considered to be an aid of digestion and astringent. Moreover, a meal for a Bengali is not only a ritual itself. The foods of a daily meal are usually simpler to balanced nutrition and makes extensive use of vegetables. The course progress broadly lighter to heavier and goes to various taste and enhance our taste-buds. Rice remains the common item in Bengali Cuisine. According to the flow of time, Bengalis have explored different culinary as well including that of Mughal, Chinese and British twisting these to suit their own taste buds.

Few must try Bengali Iconic Dishes:

1.       Luchi – Aloo Dum

A perfect combination of breakfast in any Bengali family. Nothing can prevent any Bengali to keep away from it. Luchi is a deep fried flatbread made of bleached wheat and aloo dum is nothing but a spicy mixture where the aloo (potato) is main ingredient. It hardly takes 40-45 minutes to prepare. With guests at home or simply in a dining table along with family members, everyone would love to have this food.

 2.       Shukto

An authentic Bengali dish served in the beginning of a meal and perfectly fitted for any kind of occasion. It is a healthy dish prepared with bitter gourd, brinjals, sweet potatoes, bori and many more veggies. Some freshly grounded spices are added with milk to give a thick texture. Ghee can be added lastly as an enhancer to make it healthier. Bengalis believes that this dish is very auspicious for any occasion.

 3.       Cholar Dal

Cholar Dal is a typical Bengali dish, prepared with Chana Dal during any special occasion or festive time. The preparation is slightly sweet with good fragrances of bay leaves, curry leaves, cinnamon and other spices. Shredded coconut and fried peanuts can be added to give it a crunchy and delicious in taste. This one can perfectly go with Luchi or Steamed Rice.

 4.       Chingri Maacher Malaicurry

Every single occasion is incomplete without Chingri Maacher Malaicurry. This is one dish that is a bit tricky to cook and the real flavor of it comes when the perfect ratio of spices mix with one another. Prepared with coconut milk with some mild spices and the enticing aroma fill the entire house that waters our mouth. The velvet gravy is the highlight of this dish, which is best served with Steamed Rice.

 5.       Bhapa Ilish

In West Bengal, there is no substitute of “Ilish Maach” and though “Ilish Maach” is to be known as “Maacher Raja”, any preparation with Ilish becomes Bengali delicacy. The preparation takes very limited time of being prepared and very easy to make process followed by very earlier stages of life by our grandmother. The gravy preparation is made up of mustard paste. The fish is to be marinated with mustard paste, raw mustard oil with some green chilies and adequate amount of salt and set it for steam. This preparation is a little tangy in flavor due to mustard paste and raw mustard oil.

 6.       Bhetki Paturi

A signature dish for any Bengali, where the main ingredient is bhetki fillets and mustard paste. Whether it’s a wedding ceremony or get together, every single Bengali would demand for this dish. Even visiting in any authentic Bengali restaurant, every Bengali would love to order this item, without any second click. Bhetki fillets are marinated with mustard paste and coconut paste and wrapped in a banana leaf and give it to steam and cooked on a slow flame, what is known as Paturi. No oil would use to make this preparation and simply a healthy dish for any diet controller.

 7.       Kosha Mangsho

In traditional Bengali style, the tying of nuptial knot contains a series of elaboration of colorful rituals and customs, which are enjoyable as well as holds a great significance in conjugal life of every married couple.

So here we are talking about the varied customs and rituals followed in Hindu weddings which are extend up to four to five days or to some extent. These ceremonies are essentially divided into three parts - pre wedding customs, main wedding ceremony and post wedding rituals. Each of the three phases have deep meaning and significance which are about to perform by the couple for the sake of their married life. So it can be said that it must be a most concerned part for every couple.

The women gathered at the wedding venue, blowing conch-shells, are one of the most important characteristic of a Bengali Marriage ceremony. Shehnai recital played by live musicians or else played over a music system adds to this symphony. The purpose is to draw the attention of all and sundry to the wedding and also to summon the invitees. It is also a kind of social declaration from the family to the rest of the society.

PRE-WEDDING RITUALS

Ashirbaad – In this auspicious day, the family members and relatives of the groom's side go to bless the bride and vice versa, by sprinkling husked rice and trefoil on their heads and giving them gold ornaments as blessings. It is a kind of acceptance of the boy and the girl on both sides.

Aaiburo Bhaat - This is one of the most important rituals among all where the bride and groom would have their last meal of their bachelorhood, thrown by relatives or friends before the D-day.

Holud Kota - A ceremony where five or seven married women of the household grind turmeric with mortar and pestle and ordained the bride and groom with turmeric paste with the help of any priest ‘s spiritual speech. This brightens up the bride's complexion and makes her skin glow. Also we can say that turmeric is a holy ingredient which can be used in any auspicious occasion whether it could be for wedding or puja or any other ceremony.

Dodhi Mongol – This ceremony takes place at dawn on the day of marriage, seven married women adorn the bride's hands with the traditional bangles Shakha and Paula - one pair of red and one pair of white bangles, and feed her a meal of curd and rice, the only meal for the entire day until wedding.

MAIN WEDDING RITUALS

Bor Jatri - The members of the groom's house as well as his friends decked up in their best attire and set off to the bride's house where the wedding takes place.

Bor Boron - When the borjatri reaches the wedding venue, usually the bride’s mother along with other relatives come out to welcome the groom and his family by showing the holy earthen lamp, sprinkling trefoil, and husked rice placed on a bamboo winnow (kulo). Then they served sweets and drinks.

Potto Bastra - After the groom is seated at the chadna tola (wedding altar and canopy) – the sanctum sanctorum where only the groom, bride and the priest takes their place, the groom is offered new clothes by the person who is to do the sampradaan - a kind of gift to the boy from the girl's side.

Saat Paak - The bride, usually seated on a low wooden stool called piri which is lifted by her brothers and taken round the groom in seven complete circles. The significance is they are winded up securely to each other.

Mala Bodol - After completing the seven round, still sitting high on the piri, the bride and the groom exchange their garlands thrice. This is the first step in which they accept each other as life partners.

Subho Dristi - After garlanding to one another the bride and the groom are made to look at each other in front of all the assembled invitees. This exchange of loving glance is to initiate them to be together officially by the society.

Sampradan - The bride then takes her place at the chadnatola where an elderly male member of the bride's family hands her over to the groom and the couple's hands are bound by the sacred thread amidst recital of vedic chants and are placed on the mangal ghot - a brass pitcher filled with water that is covered with mango leaves attached to one twig and a green coconut placed on it.

Yagna - The bride and groom sit in front of the sacred fire and chant mantras after the priest. Agni, the fire god is made the divine witness to the marriage.

Saat Paak - Seven circular rounds are taken by the couple around the fire thereby solemnizing the occasion. This means that they are entirely bounded with seven aes of life.

Anjali - This is an offering to the fire. The bride's brother puts puffed rice (khoi) in the hands of the bride, and the groom standing back to the bride, round his arms to the bride and holds her hands from the back. They then pour the offering into the fire together.

Sindoor Daan and Ghomta - Once again seated at their respective places in chadnatola, the groom applies sindoor or vermilion (a symbol of marriage worn by Hindu women thereafter) on the bride's hair-parting. The bride then covers her head with a new sari offered by the groom as ghomta or veil.

POST-WEDDING RITUALS

Bidaai - This is a farewell - mixed moment of joy and sorrow as the bride is bid adieu with blessings of her parents and relatives to start a new life with her beau.

Kaalratri- After the couple reaches the groom's house and the initial welcome ceremony is over they are separated for the night, probably to get a refreshing sleep and prepare for the next day's final wedding ceremony.

Bou Bhaat & Bodhu Boron - The girl cooks and serves all the members of her husband's family. A banquet is held to treat the guests who lavish gifts on the new bride.

Phool Shojja - The couple is adorned with flowers and are left together alone in their room to enjoy conjugal bliss on a bed laid with flowers.
