Love, Sunshine, and a Perfect Summer Feast

Outdoor weddings have a charm that’s hard to beat the golden sunlight, the soft breeze, and that relaxed, festive energy that makes every moment magical. But beyond the flowers and music, there’s one thing that truly makes a wedding unforgettable: the food.

At Divine Caterers, we’ve served at hundreds of outdoor weddings across Chennai, and we’ve learned one thing: food isn’t just about taste  it’s about creating an experience. The right menu can turn a lovely event into a celebration your guests will talk about for years.

Here are our top five outdoor summer wedding menu ideas that are guaranteed to delight your guests and keep the summer heat at bay.

 1. Farm-to-Table Freshness

Bring nature straight to your table with a farm-to-table themed menu  colourful, healthy, and bursting with local flavour. This setup is perfect for couples who love fresh ingredients and earthy elegance.

Must-try dishes:

• Garden-fresh tomato and burrata salad with basil drizzle 
• Herb-marinated grilled paneer or chicken 
• Quinoa salad with roasted vegetables 
• Mini mango tarts or tropical fruit parfaits 
• Cool cucumber and mint lemonade 

This style pairs beautifully with open-air venues and garden weddings in Chennai. It’s sustainable, refreshing, and ideal for the warm weather.

Pro tip: Add local produce like mangoes, coconuts, and pineapples for an authentic South Indian touch.

 2. Live BBQ & Grill Extravaganza

There’s something irresistible about the smoky aroma of grilled food wafting through the air. A live BBQ counter is always a hit. It’s engaging, fun, and lets guests enjoy freshly cooked bites right off the grill.

Menu favourites:

• Grilled paneer skewers, lamb chops, or smoky chicken tikka 
• Buttered corn and creamy coleslaw 
• Fresh fruit skewers or sizzling brownies 
• Iced teas and citrus mocktails 

Whether it’s a villa lawn or a beach venue along ECR, this menu theme adds a laid-back charm to your celebration.

 3. Coastal Seafood Soirée

If you love Chennai’s coastal vibes, embrace it with a seafood-inspired wedding menu. Light, flavorful, and perfect for a summer afternoon, it blends elegance with a touch of tropical fun.

What’s on the plate:

• Mini crab cakes and prawn cocktails 
• Grilled fish with lemon butter or chili-lime glaze 
• Coconut rice with a side of mango salsa 
• Tender coconut pudding or key lime pie 
• Fresh coconut water or pineapple mojito 

This theme complements beachside weddings beautifully and keeps guests refreshed throughout the event.

 4. Mediterranean Garden Feast

For couples who love global flavours, a Mediterranean menu offers a vibrant mix of colour and freshness. It’s light, nutritious, and fits perfectly with outdoor settings.

Delightful options:

• Mezze platter with hummus, pita, olives, and tzatziki 
• Chicken souvlaki or grilled veggie kebabs 
• Greek salad with feta and olive oil 
• Baklava or lemon olive oil cake 
• Sparkling citrus lemonade or sangria mocktails 

This theme looks stunning at open garden venues, especially during sunset celebrations.

 5. Global Street Food Fiesta

Add an element of fun and excitement with a street food station setup. Guests can walk around, sample different cuisines, and enjoy small bites packed with flavour.

Try these crowd favourites:

• Indian Corner: Mini dosas, chaat, and vada pav sliders 
• Asian Street Bar: Noodles, momos, and spring rolls 
• Mexican Zone: Soft tacos, nachos, and spicy dips
