Sukhadia Caterers

The food was 11 out of 10. At a wedding one of the things that people remember most is the food. We are an admittedly ‘belly-first’ family with high standards for food. We also care a lot about aesthetics and want to make sure the food looks beautiful. So approaching Sukhadia and asking for a mix of Gujarati, Punjabi, Bengali, and western/Mexican to be presented beautifully with authenticity and taste across cuisines was a tall order for anyone - but Shaivi and the Sukhadia team delivered to RAVE REVIEWS! *Food* - Wow. I cannot imagine the food being any better. Every hard-to-please auntie and uncle were raving about the food. Every guest from India used to having hot paratha at street stalls was floored by the kathi rolls. The paalak chaat was crispy and delicious. The masala chai and madras coffee was kadak and refreshing. I’m making myself hungry again just reading this. Forget the rest, hire the best. *Vibe/Energy* - Shaivi is THE BEST. You spend a lot of time with your vendors on your wedding day and you want a team around you that uplifts you, makes you feel everything is possible and that they will handle any bumps in the road with grace. Shaivi was that and more. When other vendors put up roadblocks, she jumped at the opportunity to have her team handle a challenge. Shaivi even helped pin my wife’s dupatta at one point in the night. Feels like she is part of the family now. *Service* - We had a difficult venue - outdoors, with decent-but-not-perfect facilities, water with a sulfur-taste (but beautiful! Don’t @ us!). Shaivi and team jumped in, recommended porting in their own water, brought all the materials they needed, allowed us to rent their equipment, hired a full staffing team to help our planner out as well, and just NAILED IT. Wow, it was so seamless it felt like the easiest thing in the world. Thank you Sukhadia! *Presentation* - My wife (!) and MIL are all about the aesthetics. They like things to be understated yet elegant - whatever the equivalent of quiet luxury for food is (eye roll). But wow, they did a great job. The stations for appetizers and cocktail hour were so thoughtfully presented. The live stations brought a freshness and crispness to every texture and flavor of delicate snacks. The dinner was served buffet-style (our choice) and the serving dishes and serving ware had a gorgeous antique aesthetic. 10/10. *Communication/Professionalism* - Before we tasted the food this is what made us hire them. Shaivi is the consummate professional. Responsive, SUPER hard working, answering phone calls at all hours of the night after she had completed an event, and able to communicate not just with her millennial clients, but with our parents and our entire wedding team. It felt like she was putting on an event for her own family member. *Value* - How do you put a price to an experience that is this wonderful?! Well, you must, and it turns out the price was reasonable, if not a steal! This is your most important vendor, and the price includes not just the cost of the ingredients, but the incredible service, professionalism, and true caring/investment in your event. There is tremendous value to this vendor, and I would strongly encourage future clients to not just think of this as purchasing food. High ROI. *Overall* - Yes, chef.
