Engagement & Nichayathartham Catering in Chennai

The nichayathartham is often the first time both families sit down and eat together. Sri Venkateswara Catering Service prepares engagement menus that are warm, traditional and well-served — whether it is 50 close relatives at home or a few hundred guests in a hall.

Small or Large — We Plan It Right

Engagements vary a lot in size. For smaller functions at home we bring food ready to serve with a compact serving team. For hall functions we cook on site and run full banana leaf service. Either way, you get the same recipes and the same care.

Many families who book our engagement catering later ask us to handle the wedding as well, so both families already know the taste before the big day.
