**New Delhi, India** – Wedding season is upon us, and with it comes a wave of innovative food trends designed to elevate the guest experience. This year, personalization and interactive experiences are taking center stage.

One of the most notable trends is “gene food,” which incorporates family recipes, heirloom dishes, and regional specialties to add a personal touch and create emotional connections with guests. This could range from traditional family recipes to beloved street foods of the couple.

Visual appeal is also paramount. Food stations are being transformed into elaborate displays with curated floral arrangements, elegant plating, and themed setups. For example, an autumnal apple jalebi station might incorporate rustic crates and fairy lights.

Interactive DIY stations are gaining popularity, allowing guests to personalize their meals. One example is the emergence of DIY paan stations offering a unique and memorable experience.

But perhaps the most viral trend is the mobile golgappa service. One Bangalore-based caterer, Jaipal Chat House and Caterers, has garnered significant online attention for its innovative approach: waiters equipped with backpacks filled with flavored water serve pre-filled golgappas directly to guests, minimizing queues and maximizing efficiency.

Custom signature drinks, reflecting the couple’s personalities and wedding theme, add another layer of personalization. Finally, the doughnut wall, a popular Western trend now making its way into Indian weddings, offers a fun and visually appealing treat for guests of all ages. These trends suggest a move toward more engaging, personalized, and visually stunning wedding catering experiences.
