Local logistics
Running Destination Wedding service at Koregaon Park venues
A destination wedding is catered out of vehicles — kitchen, cold chain, gas, crockery and the brigade all travel — so anything forgotten cannot be fetched and the packing list is built function by function. Around North Main Road in Koregaon Park we mostly work boutique lawns, bungalows and five-star banquets, and at a heritage or on-water venue there is no trolley route, so the equipment is carried in by hand in what the doorway and the tide or the timing allow, and every item leaves again the same night. So for this booking we need accommodation on or near site for the brigade, and a vehicle standing area for the length of the event. Setup is six hours for a full wedding spread, and the counters are sized so the line holds 75-100 guests per hour per counter.
Load-in
Hand-carry only — there is no trolley route, and every case is sized to the doorway.
Power
Few points and long runs, so the menu is built around what can be held rather than what can be cooked.
Open flame
Nothing is lit. Cold and power-point counters only.
End of the night
Every item that goes in comes out the same night, by hand, along the same route.
Live counters
Counters that work at Koregaon Park venues
Nothing rolls in and nothing burns, so the counters here are the ones that can be carried in by hand, run off a single point and carried out again the same night.

Planning
Guest count and what it needs in Koregaon Park
The headcount is fixed early here, because everything is hand-carried in one run and nothing can be added on the day.
| Guests | Live counters | Service staff | Setup time | Typical dishes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | 2 | 5-6 | 3 hrs | 12-14 |
| 250 | 3-4 | 10-12 | 4 hrs | 16-18 |
| 500 | 5-6 | 20-24 | 5 hrs | 18-22 |
| 1,000+ | 8+ | 40+ | 6 hrs | 22-30 |
The highlighted row is the size these bookings usually run to. Counter numbers move with the service window as well as the headcount — a fixed lunch break needs more stations than the same headcount spread over an evening.

FAQs
Destination Wedding catering in Koregaon Park
Do you cater boutique lawns, bungalows and five-star banquets in Koregaon Park?
Yes — that is exactly what we cater here. Around North Main Road the venues we work are boutique lawns, bungalows and five-star banquets. Koregaon Park sits inside our Pune City run, alongside Kalyani Nagar, Viman Nagar, Camp, Shivajinagar, Deccan Gymkhana. Every Pune city neighbourhood on this page sits inside the standard service run, so travel and logistics are not quoted on top of the per-plate rate.
What does destination wedding catering cost per plate in Koregaon Park?
A wedding reception runs ₹1,100–₹1,900 per plate — that is the band this menu normally lands in, and it is typical of seven counters including dessert bar and paan, 500 guests. Across everything we cater the outer envelope is ₹450–₹2,200 per plate. The rate already covers chefs and counter cooks for every station, uniformed stewards and an on-site supervisor and venue recce and counter layout plan before the date; gST on the invoice, premium proteins, imported cheese and out-of-season produce and generator or power backup where the venue cannot supply it are quoted separately so nothing arrives as a surprise.
How many live counters and how much service staff does destination wedding catering in Koregaon Park need?
At 1,000+ guests — the size these bookings usually run to — we plan 8+ live counters and 40+ service staff, with 22-30 dishes on the menu and 6 hrs of setup. The ratios behind that are one live counter per 75 guests and one steward per 25 guests, or one steward per 12 guests for plated service. Because Koregaon Park work is mostly boutique lawns, bungalows and five-star banquets, at a heritage or on-water venue there is no trolley route, so the equipment is carried in by hand in what the doorway and the tide or the timing allow, and every item leaves again the same night.
What does destination wedding catering need from a venue in Koregaon Park?
A destination wedding is catered out of vehicles — kitchen, cold chain, gas, crockery and the brigade all travel — so anything forgotten cannot be fetched and the packing list is built function by function. In practical terms we need accommodation on or near site for the brigade, and a vehicle standing area for the length of the event. We confirm it at the recce before the date rather than on the morning of the event.
How far ahead should we book destination wedding catering in Koregaon Park?
Two to three weeks is comfortable for most Koregaon Park dates. Six to ten weeks for October to February weddings and the Diwali corporate season. Short-notice bookings taken when the kitchen has capacity. Pune's wedding season runs October to February, overlapping the city's own Ganeshotsav and Diwali corporate calendar, when dates go six to ten weeks ahead. The monsoon between June and September shifts open-lawn functions towards covered mandaps and indoor banquet halls rather than cancelling them.
Can the destination wedding menu be run Jain, pure vegetarian or no-onion-no-garlic in Koregaon Park?
Yes. Any menu we cater, this one included, can be cooked pure vegetarian, Jain or satvik on a separate line with separate utensils and separate storage. A second line means a second counter, so in Koregaon Park — where we are working boutique lawns, bungalows and five-star banquets — the layout is planned for it at the recce rather than squeezed in later. The tasting happens before you confirm, so the menu is signed off before anything is paid.
