Wedding Catering
Nikah, walima, shaadi and reception menus, cooked for the family that is hosting.
Catering services in Hyderabad, cooked by people who run restaurants
Buffets, plated service and live counters for 50 to 5,000 guests.
Mubarak Events offers catering services in Hyderabad for weddings, office events, lawn parties and family functions, with a kitchen team that also runs two multi-cuisine restaurants in Medchal and Yousufguda. That matters on the day: the people cooking your biryani cook it for paying diners every week, not just for events.
We work in five formats, each with its own page below. Wedding menus are built around the family and the rituals of the day. Corporate catering is built around the clock. Outdoor catering brings its own tents, power and cooking line. Buffets are planned so that lines move, and live counters put a cook in front of your guests. Everything is priced per plate and itemised, so you can see what you are paying for before you decide.

Lawns, farmhouses and open grounds, with our own tents, power and cooking line.
Buffet Catering
Well-paced buffet lines from 100 guests upward, with menus planned around the crowd.
Live Counters
Chaat, dosa, grill and more, cooked in front of your guests.
Menus
Biryani, Hyderabadi classics and vegetarian menus, with downloadable PDFs.
Buffet, plated or live counters
Most events use more than one. This is the short answer; each format has its own page below.
| Format | Suits | How it is served | Staffing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buffet | Most guests, 100 to 5,000 | Chafing dishes on serving lines, scaled to the crowd | About one server per 25 guests |
| Plated | Head tables and formal dinners | Courses carried to seated guests | More staff than a buffet |
| Live counters | Added to either, cooked in front of guests | A cook working at the counter as guests arrive | One cook and one attendant per counter |
Choosing a format
Start from the occasion in front of you
The formats combine well. This is where we would begin for each kind of day.
A nikah, a walima or a shaadi
Begin with wedding catering. Biryani, kebabs and the rest, planned around the family and the hour of the ceremony.
An office lunch, a conference or an annual day
Begin with corporate catering. Food is planned around your schedule, with vegetarian and non-vegetarian clearly marked.
A farmhouse, a lawn or any venue without a kitchen
Begin with outdoor catering. The kitchen comes to the venue.
A large guest list and a wish to keep the queue short
Begin with buffet catering. Lines and stations are planned before the day.
Guests who would enjoy watching the food being made
Begin with live counters. Chaat, dosa, grill or dessert, cooked in front of them.

How it works
From first message to the last plate
Step 1: Tell us the basics
Date, guest count, venue area and the kind of occasion. A WhatsApp message is enough to start.
Step 2: Shortlist and taste
We propose a menu around your crowd and arrange a tasting of the dishes you are considering.
Step 3: Confirm in writing
An itemised quotation covering food, staff, crockery, transport and GST. The date is held once you confirm.
Step 4: We run the day
Our captain sets up, directs service and oversees clearing, so you can spend the event with your guests.
Pricing
What drives the price of catering
Guest count
More guests lower the cost per plate because cooking, transport and supervision are shared, but the total still rises. Guaranteed numbers help us plan quantities and avoid waste.
Menu tier
A menu built on dal, rice and two curries costs differently from one with several starters, mutton and prawn dishes, and a dessert spread. Premium ingredients move the price most.
Distance
Venues outside the city need longer transport, earlier departures and sometimes an on-site kitchen. The distance band is itemised on the quotation.
Service staff
Plated service needs roughly twice the staff of a buffet. Live counters add cooks. The ratio you choose affects both the price and the pace of service.
Season
Peak wedding dates and festival weekends are in demand for staff and kitchen capacity. Booking early protects both your date and your budget.

Event Management
One team for the whole day, from the first enquiry to the last plate cleared.
Event Decor
Mandaps, stages, florals and LED counters to match the food.
Questions
Catering questions, answered
How far in advance should I book catering in Hyderabad?
For weddings and large functions in the peak muhurtham and winter months, four to eight weeks ahead gives you a real choice of dates and a proper tasting. Corporate lunches and smaller house functions can usually be arranged with far shorter notice, and we will tell you plainly if a date is already committed.
Do you cater both vegetarian and non-vegetarian menus?
Yes. Most Hyderabad functions need both, so we plan them as two parallel lines with separate serving utensils and separate staff, so that vegetarian guests are not served from a spoon that touched meat. Pure vegetarian events are equally straightforward.
What is the minimum number of guests you cater for?
Our formats start at around 50 guests. Below that, the quality of a cooked-on-site service is hard to protect, and you are usually better served by ordering from one of our two restaurants. Message us with your headcount and we will say honestly which route fits.
Can I taste the food before I confirm?
Yes. We arrange a tasting of the dishes you are shortlisting before you commit, and we are happy to adjust spice, oil and salt to your family. Ask for it when you request your quotation so the date can be fixed.
How do you price catering, and what will the quotation show?
We quote per plate. The figure depends on guest count, menu tier, distance, service staff and season, all explained on this page. The written quotation separates food, staff, crockery, transport and GST so you can see exactly what each part costs and remove what you do not need.
Which areas of Hyderabad and Telangana do you serve?
We cater across Hyderabad and Secunderabad, with our kitchens at Medchal and Yousufguda, and we travel to farmhouses and venues in the surrounding districts. Distance beyond the standard band is quoted as a transparent line item.
Tell us the date. We'll handle the rest.
Message us and you will have an itemised quote within two hours, any day between 9am and 9pm.
