One of the most common questions we get from families planning weddings and events in Ahmedabad is: "What exactly is included in your catering package price?" It's a great question — and the answer varies dramatically between caterers. This guide breaks it all down so you can budget confidently.
Shreenathaji Caterers: Package Comparison
Our catering packages are designed for events of 500 guests and are valid within the Ahmedabad Ring Road boundary until February 2027. Here's a snapshot:
What's Always Included
Regardless of the package you choose with Shreenathaji Caterers, the following are always included at no extra charge:
- All cooking equipment and gas arrangements
- Food transport to the venue in sealed containers
- On-site kitchen setup
- Service staff in uniform
- Serving tables, chafing dishes, and ladles
- Eco-friendly disposables or crockery (package dependent)
- Post-event cleanup of the catering area
What's Typically Extra
Watch out for these items that some caterers charge separately for — always clarify before signing:
- Venue outside Ring Road: Travel surcharge may apply beyond city limits
- Overtime charges: If the event runs significantly beyond the agreed hours
- Additional counters: Each extra live counter beyond your package limit
- Beverage stations: Juice, mocktail, or tea counters are often add-ons
- Decorator/flower arrangements: Not a catering responsibility
💡 Budget Tip: Always ask for an all-inclusive written quote. A professional caterer will never have surprise charges on the event day. If a caterer can't give you an itemised quote upfront — that's a red flag.
How to Calculate Your Total Budget
Here's a simple formula: Package price × confirmed guest count + add-ons. For a 500-person wedding with the Royal package:
- 500 × ₹799 = ₹3,99,500 (base)
- Extra mocktail counter: ~₹8,000
- Paan counter: ~₹5,000
- Estimated total: ~₹4,12,500
This is a competitive rate for a full professional catering setup with live counters in Ahmedabad for 500 guests.
Questions to Ask Before Booking
- Is the quoted price per person or per plate?
- Does the price include service staff and their uniforms?
- What happens if my guest count changes by 10–15%?
- Is setup and breakdown time included in the booking hours?
- Are there any charges if the event venue is not ground floor?
