Wedding Catering Cost in Sharjah: What 100, 200 and 500 Guests Come To

From AED 45 a head. Two hundred guests runs AED 9,000 to AED 22,000 depending on the menu, before live counters and setup.

Wedding catering in Sharjah at Taier Al Monal starts at AED 45 per person and runs to AED 110. For 200 guests that is AED 9,000 on the vegetarian menu, AED 13,000 on the Classic, AED 17,000 on the Zouq or AED 22,000 on the Premium, which includes a whole mutton dam pukht ouzi.

Wedding quotes in this market are usually given on request, which makes them impossible to compare. These are the per-head numbers, so you can work out your own total before speaking to anyone.

The totals at three common sizes

  • 100 guests: AED 4,500 vegetarian, AED 6,500 Classic, AED 8,500 Zouq, AED 11,000 Premium
  • 200 guests: AED 9,000 vegetarian, AED 13,000 Classic, AED 17,000 Zouq, AED 22,000 Premium
  • 500 guests: AED 22,500 vegetarian, AED 32,500 Classic, AED 42,500 Zouq, AED 55,000 Premium

Every package includes salads and sauces, soup, your chosen mains, a grill selection, bread, dessert and soft drinks. There is no separate charge for any of it.

What a wedding usually adds on top

Live counters are AED 10 per person for BBQ, tandoor or jalebi, AED 15 for a live puri station, and table and chair setup is AED 15 per person. At a wedding these are what guests remember, and at 200 covers each one adds AED 2,000 to AED 3,000.

A typical shape for a 200-guest wedding is the Classic package with a live BBQ counter and table setup: AED 13,000 plus AED 2,000 plus AED 3,000, or AED 18,000, which works out at AED 90 a head all in.

The Premium package and the ouzi

The Premium at AED 110 includes a whole mutton dam pukht ouzi served on rice at no extra charge. At a wedding that is the centrepiece dish, and it is worth comparing against paying separately for something equivalent on a cheaper package.

It also opens up six main courses, two Chinese dishes, two BBQ selections, three breads, four desserts and four beverages including Peshawari qehwa or karak tea.

Deposits, deadlines and changing numbers

  • Half the total on booking, half three days before the event
  • Any change to the guest count must reach us three days before
  • The bill is not reduced if fewer guests attend than booked
  • The bill is adjusted upward if more attend
  • Minimum order for outdoor catering: AED 3,000

For a wedding the no-reduction term is the one to plan around. Guest lists shrink far more often than they grow, so book the number you are genuinely confident of and let stragglers be added.

What gets served

Mains run to chicken pulao, mutton biryani, beef pulao, zafrani mutton qorma, charsi mutton karahi, white chicken karahi and chicken achari handi, with grill selections of reshmi kabab, malai boti, tandoori boti and mutton kabab alongside.

All of it is halal and all of it comes from the same kitchen in Bu Shaghara that runs the restaurant buffet every night, rather than a separate events operation. Catering covers Sharjah, Dubai and Ajman.
