    How much per head for a Nikah, Mehndi or Walima?

    Halal wedding catering starts at £25 per head and runs to £60 per head for our largest menu. A 150-guest mehndi on our Silver tier is £5,250; a 250-guest walima on Gold is £11,250. Same tiers for every stage — you only change the guest count and dish choice.

    Cost by stage

    Nikah

    30–120 guests

    Usually the lightest of the three: canapés, chaat and chai around the ceremony, or a full buffet once the nikah is signed. At 60 guests a Bronze buffet works out at £1,500 and Silver at £2,100.

    Mehndi

    80–200 guests

    A long evening where guests eat as they arrive, so the buffet is replenished rather than served in one sitting. At 150 guests, Silver is £5,250 and Gold £6,750.

    Walima

    150–400 guests

    The largest reception, normally Gold or Platinum for the wider dish choice and a staffed setup. At 250 guests, Gold is £11,250 and Platinum £15,000.
