Cost expectation
Pure vegetarian Indian catering for 1000 guests in UAE typically ranges from AED 55 to AED 220 per head. The final number depends on menu depth, number of live counters, service style and venue distance from Dubai. We share an itemised quote within a working day.
Timelines and booking
For 1000 guests we recommend confirming the menu at least 10 days before the event. Peak wedding season (October to March) books out earlier - lock the date 6 to 12 weeks in advance where possible.
