Planning a 800-guest Indian wedding in New Jersey
A 800-guest Indian wedding in New Jersey is its own scale. Venue capacity, catering ratios, restroom counts and photography staffing all shift. Here is the honest playbook.

Catering: 1 server per 15 guests. Photography: lead + 2 second shooters. Bar: 1 bartender per 75 guests.
