What kinds of events do you cater?
Weddings and receptions, engagements, Seemantham (Valaikappu), naming ceremonies, birthdays, housewarmings, 60th and 80th birthday shanthi functions, temple and community feasts, and corporate lunches, conferences and launches.

Mocktail bar, cut fruit counter, dessert counter, ice cream counter, chaat counter, and a live tea and filter coffee counter. Any of these can be added to a banana-leaf or buffet menu.
