Catering DetailsWe will be serving in 3-4 batches.

Each batch can seat about 250 - 280 people.

We would like to request and encourage elders, kids, anybody taking medication and have to eat at

certain time to go on first batch.

We are planning to issue token codes during checkin. Please save the token, as it helps to reduce the confusion during

the catering.

We would like to limit the social gathering and chatting outside of main Dining area so we can accommodate other

batches quickly.

We are targeting each batch to wrap up by 30 minutes so we can finish serving to all the guests on time.

We request all your support to bring this great Tamil tradition to Colorado and make this event a grand success
