Celebrations with the quiet grace of the mountains
We plan and cater weddings, retreats and gatherings across Uttarakhand — for families from the hills, and for guests discovering them for the first time.
Rooted in Kumaon. Open to everyone.
House of Kumaon is an event and catering house from the hills of Uttarakhand. We grew up with the traditions we now design with — the ritual art on courtyard floors, the slow food of wood-fired kitchens, the unhurried warmth with which the hills receive a guest.
Whether you're a pahadi family keeping a ceremony exactly as your grandmother kept it, or planning a destination wedding in the Himalayan foothills with guests flying in from Delhi, Mumbai or abroad — we handle everything: venues, decor, rituals, logistics and food, with one coordinator from first call to farewell.
- Aipan
- Kumaon's ritual floor art — white rice-paste patterns drawn on red ochre. It marks every threshold we decorate.
- Pichhora
- The saffron-and-red veil worn in Kumaoni ceremonies. Our drapes and palettes begin here.
- Atithi devo bhava
- "The guest is god." Less a slogan, more the way the hills have always hosted.
What we take care of
Weddings
Full planning for intimate hill weddings and large destination celebrations — venue scouting in Nainital, Mukteshwer, Ranikhet and beyond, decor, guest logistics, and Kumaoni rituals explained and arranged for families new to them.
Corporate retreats
Off-sites and leadership retreats in the quiet of the hills. We manage stay, conference setups, bonfire evenings and full-board catering, so your team only has to arrive.
Ceremonies & festivals
Naming ceremonies, housewarmings, Harela and seasonal festivals — organised with the right priests, music and prasad, faithful to tradition without the burden of arranging it yourself.
Catering
From a fifty-guest dinner to a thousand-plate community feast. Traditional Kumaoni menus alongside North Indian and Continental, cooked on site with local produce.
Every cuisine your guests expect — and one they'll remember
We cater the full spread of a modern Indian wedding: North Indian classics, Chinese, chaat and street snacks, live counters and dessert tables — planned around your guest list, scale and budget.
And alongside it all, our signature: a small, carefully made Kumaoni course from the hills we come from. Most guests have never tasted it before. Few forget it.
Moments we've had the honour of making
A lakeside wedding, 180 guests
Two days on the shore of Bhimtal — a mandap framed in aipan and marigold, a Kumaoni thaal dinner under the deodars, and a baraat that arrived by boat.
Leadership retreat, 40 people
Three days of strategy sessions by day, bonfires and pahadi dinners by night, for a Bengaluru tech firm.
A festival for the whole mohalla
Harela celebrated the old way — fresh aipan on every threshold, folk singers from the valley, and a community feast of three hundred plates.
A thousand-plate bhandara
Community feast cooked over wood fires from four in the morning — gahat dal, bhaat and jhangora kheer, served warm on leaf pattals.
Destination wedding, guests from nine cities
For a Delhi–London couple, we built a three-day celebration most guests still call their first real taste of the hills — pichhora ceremony included, gently explained for everyone new to it.
The frames above are placeholders — swap in your real event photographs as you build your portfolio. Keep them in this duotone-friendly, uncluttered style for a consistent look.
Half our guests had never been to Uttarakhand. They left planning their next trip back.— A wedding at Bhimtal, 180 guests
