Elite Caterers

For major events (200+ guests), booking 4-6 weeks in advance is recommended to secure your preferred date and allow time for menu planning and headcount finalization. Smaller gatherings (under 100 guests) typically need 2-3 weeks notice. Contact them early at +91 97000 15553 to check availability and initiate the planning process.

Catering vendors typically require advance deposits (25-50% of total cost) at booking, with final payment due before the event. Always request their cancellation and rescheduling policy in writing, as policies vary regarding refunds for date changes or guest count reductions.

Most professional catering services accommodate vegetarian, non-vegetarian, and special dietary needs (allergies, religious restrictions) if informed in advance. Discuss your specific requirements during the initial consultation to confirm their capability and any additional charges for custom preparations.

This varies significantly between vendors. Some include servers, table setup, and cleanup; others provide only food delivery. Request a detailed breakdown of what's included in their quoted price (food, service staff, equipment rental, décor setup) to avoid unexpected costs.

Professional caterers use insulated transport containers and maintain food temperature control standards. Ask about their food safety certifications, how they manage freshness for events held far from their kitchen, and whether they provide on-site food warming or plating services.

Catering capacity depends on their kitchen size, equipment, and staff. Confirm whether they handle both intimate dinners (20-30 guests) and large functions (500+ guests), as some vendors specialize in specific size ranges and may subcontract or have limitations.
