What do you think of this menu for a mixed wedding?

We are having an Italian / East Indian wedding. We would like to have food from both cultures , so everyone can try dishes from the different cultures. However, because we do NOT want to have so much food that people end up wasting stuff, we have to modify the menu, so it isn’t what you woudl typically get at those European banquet halls.

Right now our menu / courses are:

Hors D’ouevres
Anti-pasto plate
Penne Pasta
Butter Chicken + Rice + Lamb Jalfrezi (all served together family style i.e it is put on the table)
Seafood mix platter + Salad
Dessert (sweet table + porquetta)

Do you think there is enough variety in the menu so that it caters to both Italians and East Indians guests at the wedding? Is there anything else you would add / modify from the menu?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as we are struggling with coming up with menu. Thanks!

Do you have any Indian vegetarians coming? I assume the penne is meatless, but if someone’s looking for something Indian and veggie, that might be difficult. Maybe a chickpea curry option?

  1. why No meat dish for the Italians I would like a dish of saugage and peppers as well as meat balls

  2. I agree with the poster above about adding sausage or meatballs.

    I also would add garlic bread and roasted peppers.
