As Nish and I are getting settled back into our routine, we are so lucky to have all of the memories from the wedding week to look back on. We wanted to thank you sincerely for keeping our guests’ bellies full and spirits happy during the wedding week. We certainly only heard great things about the food and we are very grateful for all of the hard work you put into our big day (week*)! We look forward to working with you again in the future – maybe our brother’s wedding one day!

Our journey for a caterer started in parallel with our search for a wedding venue. As I’m sure many Indian couples can agree, food was extremely important for us. As Shaivi was a personal friend, we decided to reach out to her for a quote. Although their team have catered destination weddings all over the country, they had never done an event in Lake Tahoe before. We were a bit hesitant on the initial call as we wanted someone who knew the area, however Shaivi expressed her confidence that they would be able to do accommodate us and make it an amazing weekend. After doing the tasting at their NJ office, we were completely sold. Not only did we appreciate the presentation, taste, and variety, but the pricing was reasonable and the team felt like family.

Our wedding took place at The Ritz Carlton, Lake Tahoe, which has never allowed outside caterers for weddings, but after an incredible amount of pressure, they agreed. It was important that they felt comfortable with the professionalism and quality of the outside caterer and Sukhadias was the perfect fit. Apart from doing a physical site inspection at the resort, Shaivi kept in constant communication with the F&B team there and made sure both teams were able to work with synergy. The Ritz was super impressed with Sukhadia’s operations. When we arrived in Lake Tahoe, Sukhadias was already there prepping for all of our events. Little did we know the obstacles that they had to overcome; with their cargo flight getting cancelled a few days before, Shaivi made the call to have over 1000 lbs of food be brought to Lake Tahoe via their Sukhadias van all the way from New Jersey! She also had to deal with many last minute changes to the layouts, but handled everything with ease. Throughout the weekend and even after the weekend was over, our guests RAVED about the food. Absolutely nothing but compliments and dozens of people said it was the best food they had ever had at an Indian wedding, including some non-Indian guests who could not stop eating the food at the Vatan Village station! At the reception, people were in awe at the endless table of desserts. Also we are so glad we upgraded to have fresh jalebis at the goodbye brunch — they were be the best we ever had. We feel honored to have had Sukhadias cater our wedding weekend and thank you Shaivi for sincerely making all of our events special for us and our guests. Five stars all around and next time we have a big event, they will be top of mind. If you are looking for a caterer who will go above and beyond and make sure everything is perfect down to the dot, hire Sukhadias! Thank you Shaivi, Oscar, and the rest of the Sukhadias team for helping us create an unforgettable weekend.

I hold my tears how much I can thank you more to justify what a marvelous job you did for us. You did as we are like a one family. Everyone admire exceptionally mouth-watering taste of food very well design and planned. I know you went out of your way to support us. I have no words to praise the catering manager. She did extraordinary job selecting the menu for breakfast, lunch & next day brunch. Thank you once again.
