Ceremonies & occasions
Every ceremony has its own food, its own timings and its own rules. We cater each one the way your family expects – not a generic “Indian wedding package”.
పెళ్లి
The Telugu wedding
Muhurtham-morning breakfast for close family, a full banana-leaf bhojanam after the jeelakarra-bellam, and an evening reception spread. We plan food around the priest’s timings, not the other way round.
How we cater a pelliనిశ్చితార్థం
The engagement
A smaller, sharper occasion where both families meet properly for the first time. We serve a seated tiffin-style spread – idli, pesarattu, upma, three chutneys – with sweets to send home with the guests.
What the day involvesహాఫ్ శారీ
Langa voni · coming of age
Your daughter’s day, done beautifully. A festive lunch with her favourites on the menu, a chaat corner for her friends, and a sweets table styled to match the saree colours if you want it to.
Planning her dayబారసాల
Cradle & naming ceremony
Small, warm and mostly at home. We bring a compact home-service team – payasam made fresh, a light lunch for forty to eighty, and everything cleared away before the baby’s afternoon nap.
A barasala at homeగృహప్రవేశం
Housewarming
New keys, boiling milk, and a house full of relatives. We handle the satyanarayana vratam prasadam, a pure-veg lunch cooked without onion or garlic on request, and service that fits around the puja.

The night before
Food that works around dancing: chaat and dosa counters that run all evening, mirchi bajji at midnight, and nothing that needs guests to sit down for a formal service while the performances are on.
Feeding a dance floorCatering menus
This is one family’s Saturday – a real menu we served in Harrow last summer. Yours is built with you at a tasting, dish by dish.
From recent mornings
Garlands collected before the market is properly awake, idli with ghee on the muhurtham-morning table – the small, real things a wedding day is made of.
Planning services
Most families start with catering and hand us the rest one piece at a time. Take any of these on their own, or let us run the whole day.
Built to your priest’s requirements – four pillars, east-facing where the venue allows, with a fire-safe homam setup the venue has already signed off before the day.
We work to your priest’s timings, source one if you need, and lay out the full puja list – talambralu rice, kalash, betel leaves – before anyone has to ask.
One named event manager runs your run-sheet from mangalasnanam to the last paan, so your family sits with the guests instead of chasing vendors.
My mother-in-law took one spoon of the gongura pachadi and went quiet. Then she asked who made it. That is the highest compliment that exists in our family – and Saffron Sky earned it in front of six hundred and fifty people.
Start planning
Send the muhurtham date, the occasion and a rough guest count. Lakshmi or Ravi will reply within one working day with availability and a starting price – in English or Telugu, no obligation.
