As luxury becomes synonymous with emotional resonance and experiential detail, bespoke menus have emerged as the gold standard
Whether it’s accommodating vegan preferences, gluten-free diets, or simply showcasing heirloom recipes with a modern twist, personalised menus offer culinary intimacy and that, more than anything, defines today’s idea of luxury.
In today’s fast-evolving world of luxury hospitality, food is no longer just a functional element of events, it has become the soul of the experience. From intimate weddings to high-profile corporate gatherings, the demand for bespoke menus has seen a significant rise, redefining what luxury truly means in the context of modern events.
According to Shyam Kumar, General Manager, DoubleTree by Hilton, Whitefield, Bangalore, personalization is at the heart of this shift. “At DoubleTree by Hilton Whitefield, Bengaluru, we believe that bespoke menus are redefining the essence of luxury events by turning every gathering into a truly personalized experience,” he shares.
“Today’s guests seek more than just exceptional food—they crave culinary storytelling that reflects their individuality, preferences, and values.”
The property’s culinary team works closely with hosts to design menus that are not only delicious but deeply thoughtful. This includes everything from reinvented regional delicacies to dietary-specific gourmet selections, catering to health-conscious and discerning palates alike.
“Food on a plate is more than just ingredients—it’s always enhanced by the passion and emotion of our chefs. Increased awareness among our guests about health and fitness also keeps our chefs constantly innovating,” adds Kumar.
This personal touch, he explains, is an extension of DoubleTree’s signature hospitality: warm, welcoming, and inherently guest-centric. As expectations around dining experiences continue to evolve, the tailor-made culinary approach has become a defining marker of excellence and sophistication.
Echoing a similar sentiment is Tanya Quadros, Founder, Banquet 18, a luxury event and catering consultancy known for its customised, detail-driven experiences.
“In today’s evolving event landscape, guests expect more than just good food—they crave a personalised experience that reflects their taste and values,” says Tanya.
“Bespoke menus are the new benchmark of luxury, as they enable hosts to craft unique culinary narratives that align with the event’s purpose, culture, and theme.”
From integrating regional ingredients to designing contemporary fusion plates, Banquet 18 takes pride in translating a host’s vision into an edible story. Tanya emphasizes that personalisation is no longer a luxury add-on it is the new standard in hospitality.
“It shows guests that their presence is valued and that no detail has been overlooked,” she notes. “With increasing demand for curated experiences at weddings, corporate gatherings, and intimate celebrations, bespoke menus elevate the standard, making events memorable, meaningful, and truly one-of-a-kind.”
The Future of Event Dining Is Personal
As luxury becomes synonymous with emotional resonance and experiential detail, bespoke menus have emerged as the gold standard. No longer just about presentation or portion, food now embodies identity, creativity, and connection. Whether it’s accommodating vegan preferences, gluten-free diets, or simply showcasing heirloom recipes with a modern twist, personalised menus offer culinary intimacy and that, more than anything, defines today’s idea of luxury.
