Gen Z reshapes wedding menus while preserving the muhurtham meal
Wedding menus are evolving as guest lists become smaller and spending per guest increases, with couples choosing regional and global dishes, fusion food, live counters and visually striking desserts. The Hindu reports that these changes are being balanced with the continued importance of the traditional muhurtham meal.
Wedding food is changing as couples and families place greater emphasis on the dining experience, The Hindu reported. The shift is linked to smaller guest lists and higher spending per person. With fewer guests, wedding hosts can devote more attention and resources to what is served, moving beyond a single traditional feast.
Menus are increasingly including regional specialities, global cuisines and fusion dishes. Live counters are also part of the trend, allowing food to be presented as an active feature of the celebration rather than simply a meal served to guests. Desserts designed to be visually appealing for social media are another element of the changing approach.
The report describes these choices as part of a broader effort by couples to make wedding food an experience. At the same time, the move towards experimentation has not displaced the traditional muhurtham meal. The meal remains firmly rooted in wedding tradition, suggesting that newer choices are being added alongside, rather than used to replace, established customs.
