  • Consultations to refine the style of your event
  • Vetting and coordinating best-in-class vendors
  • On-site management from setup to close
  • A team you can trust with day-of coordination

Pakistani, Indian and Continental, Beautifully Served

  • Custom menu packages — appetizers, rice, curries, BBQ, vegetarian and desserts
  • Hi-Tea program built around classic Bay Area afternoons
  • Dietary accommodation integrated, not bolted on

03Design & Décor

Spaces Designed to Feel Inevitable

Florals, tablescapes, lighting and themed carts. Every piece is developed in close conversation with your venue, the season and the feeling you want guests to remember. Nothing decorative for its own sake.

  • Tablescape design and full place settings
  • Statement floral and greenery installations
  • Backdrops in balloons, florals or draped fabric
  • Custom signage, props and themed carts

About the Team

Every Meaningful Idea Begins with a Story

Ours began around a dining table, where food brought family and friends together, milestones were celebrated, and ordinary gatherings became lasting memories. Over time, these shared moments brought three friends together through a common interest in food, hospitality, and creating beautiful celebrations.

In 2020, we founded Ladle n Wok from a shared love of cooking and a desire to introduce others to the food and flavors we grew up with. What began in our own kitchens soon became something more meaningful as we saw how good food could bring people together and become a focal point of their most important celebrations.

We poured our hearts into every meal, treated each event as if it were our own, and built our business around the warmth, care, and personal hospitality we wanted every client to experience.

As our catering services grew, we took the next natural step — transforming the way our food was presented. We began creating thoughtfully styled, luxury-themed food setups that elevated the dining experience and became an extension of each event’s décor. The response was immediate, and the attention these setups received inspired us to explore event design and décor even further.

Today, Ladle n Wok brings event planning, design, décor, and catering together under one trusted team. Our clients do not have to coordinate with multiple vendors or explain their vision again and again. Because we are involved from the first idea to the final detail, every part of the event feels connected, thoughtful, and true to their vision.

For us, the greatest compliment is not simply hearing that an event looked beautiful. It is knowing our clients were able to be fully present, enjoy every moment, and celebrate with confidence because every detail was in trusted hands. Creating that sense of ease and trust is at the heart of everything we do.

“Surprised and delighted us with their execution.”

They helped us decide on the menu, understood the theme we wanted, and then took care of everything. We basically gave them just an overview of the theme and let them come up with creative ideas — and they absolutely nailed it. Beef nihari with real authentic taste, biryani expertly cooked, and a daal that hooked everyone at the table.
