How to plan an event coffee service in Kolkata
Here is the sequence we walk clients through, in the order the decisions actually have to be made.
- 1
Shortlist the venue and get its vendor policy
Step 1Large-format events in Kolkata usually land at Biswa Bangla Convention Centre or Science City. Ask for the vendor policy early — passes and insurance requirements vary widely between venues.
- 2
Check the access reality, not the brochure
Step 2Loading bay, service lift, dedicated 16A power and a water point. City convention centres are straightforward; heritage and farmhouse venues more often need a generator capacity confirmed instead.
- 3
Size counters to local guest flow
Step 3We serve across Salt Lake, New Town, Park Street, Ballygunge and the rest of Kolkata with no travel charge inside city limits. Outstation venues elsewhere in West Bengal are quoted with travel at cost.
- 4
Book around the local season
3–4 weeks aheadKolkata peaks through the winter wedding and conference months, and weekend dates in that stretch need four to six weeks of notice. Off-peak weekdays can often be served inside a week.
