Marwaris and punjabis are the two communities which are well known to spend a lot in their weddings.

The functions go on for weeks, with sangeet sandhya and reception on the last two days respectively.

There will be no dirth of choices to eat iarwadi wedding.
It's like a big fat buffet with all the cuisine starting from soup to paan.
To give you an idea of what mainly can be there, let us have a look at the menu.
For breakfast
Idly wala, dosa, sambhar chutney, samosa kachori, jalebi fayda, sandwiches, cutlets, poha, upma and finally tea,coffee.

For lunch on the wedding day, there is a ritual of sajan kot which is a traditional process in which the bridegroom’s family members are served food in silver plates by bride's relatives. This can include everything what you can think of in Indian cuisine.

Sweets and paans are the highlight of this.
In the reception night, welcome drinks like paan shots, jaljira, mango shake, pista shake is mandatory.

Starters will have panner predominantly with some other options like sweet corn, potatoes, cutlets, crispy veg etc.

Most marawadis are vegetarians so non veg lovers would be disappointed.
Main course will have 3–4 varieties of bread like naan, laccha parathas, stuffed kulchas missing roti/puri and even plain hot phulka. This area will be hotspot because everyone wants hot breads right after it is taken out from tandoor.

Tawa veg is a eye catching dish in a reception. A person with all raw vegetables stands with all the masala on the tawa, generally old uncles gives orders to the cook on what to mix and what masalas to add.

Vegetable dishes include panner butter masala Or some other panerr dish, baked veg, baigan ka masaledaar bharta, gatte ki sabzi, kofta curry.

Rice item may include zeera rice, pulav or biryani.
Chats may high any of these items like pani puri bhel puri, samosa chaat, kachori chaat, ragda pattis.

Exotic foods may include pasta, Chinese, French toast, small size pizzas.
Sweets has to be a haldirams stall with a load of options. It can be coupled up with ice cream, plain vanilla with chocolate sauce, kulfi, baraf ka gola for kids, and definitely that iconic coffee making machine just besides that burf ka gola. I don't know how, but all the receptions which I have attended I have seen this trend of coffee machine just besides that gola waala.

For mouth freshners the pan option is missing in most weddings now a days, you might know the reason why so. So after the dinner we can see jijajis and other swag males flocking to a nearby paan shop.

I might have still missed on a lot of options even after mentioning so much, so now I guess you can make it out how big marawadi weddings are!
