Gujarati Wedding Menu — FAQ
What is a traditional Gujarati wedding menu?
A Gujarati wedding thali is pure veg and served in courses: dhokla and khandvi to start, then undhiyu, kadhi, chana masala and jeera rice, finished with rasgulla, kalakand and achar. It is famous for its balance of sweet, salty and spicy.
Is a Gujarati wedding menu always vegetarian?
Yes — Gujarati wedding menus are vegetarian as a tradition, often with a fully sattvik Jain option too (no onion, no garlic). That keeps per-plate costs lower than mixed North Indian menus while the thali stays generous.
How much undhiyu for 200 guests?
Undhiyu at 80 g per guest means about 16 kg for 200 guests. Add kadhi at 100 g/guest (20 kg) and chana masala at 80 g/guest (16 kg). The Gujarati Wedding preset in our calculator prices this exactly.
What makes a Gujarati wedding thali special?
The thali is served with dhokla, khandvi and thepla-style breads, with undhiyu and kadhi as the hero dishes, plus a sweet finishing course. Ghevar, rasgulla and kalakand are the classic wedding sweets.
How much does a Gujarati wedding menu cost per plate?
A veg Gujarati thali prices ₹500–850 per plate at 2026 catering rates in Gujarat (Ahmedabad ₹600–800, Mumbai Gujarati caterers ₹800–1,100). With no non-veg, plates run below North Indian mixed weddings.
Do Gujarati weddings have live counters?
Yes — pani puri, dhokla, khandvi and jalebi counters are very common. Khandvi and dhokla are made fresh and move fast, so plan one counter per 200–250 guests.
