Catering · 2026-03-28 · 6 min read

Have you ever wondered what it takes to prepare a gourmet feast for 2,000 wedding guests? It is a high-stakes, clockwork operation that begins long before the first guest arrives at the venue. Here is a look behind the scenes at Padma Catering during a busy wedding weekend:

4:00 AM — Sourcing Fresh Produce

Our day starts at the local Visakhapatnam wholesale markets. We hand-select fresh vegetables, herbs, and dairy items daily to ensure absolute quality and freshness. Nothing is frozen; everything is sourced fresh for each event.

8:00 AM — Preparation and Chopping

In our central hygienic kitchen, our prep team starts washing, peeling, and chopping. Spices are roasted and ground in-house to capture their full aroma. The kitchen operates under strict FSSAI guidelines, with regular sanitisation checks.

12:00 PM — Cooking the Mains

Under the guidance of our head chef, cooking begins. Ghee is melted, gravies are simmered, and rice is slow-cooked in sealed pots. Timing is critical—food must finish cooking just in time to be loaded into insulated thermal containers for transport, keeping it piping hot without losing freshness.

4:00 PM — Setup at the Venue

Our transport team arrives at the wedding hall. We set up the buffet tables, decorate live counters, and sanitise the service area. By the time the wedding ceremony begins, the kitchen team is ready, and service starts flawlessly.
