You never know what you will be served in wedding as dinner

Have a specific diet? Do not let your guests suffer with you. If you are on a specific dietary restriction, you do not have to restrict everyone who is at your party. Not too long ago, one of the cameramen I was on a shoot with was outraged at the selection of food at the wedding he was filming. The couple had a vegan diet. Naturally, the food was not exactly up to par with what he was expecting and the diet was quite shocking to him. If you are on a specific diet plan or have a dietary restriction, you do not have to restrict everyone who is at your party who potentially come from other cultures, religions and health backgrounds that may have issues with certain foods just like you. Here are a few ways to find a friendly compromise in your wedding food diet:

Have a specific diet? Do not let your guests suffer with you.

  1. If you have a specific diet (vegan, allergies, etc.) then tell the staff at your reception to have a specific menu just for you. After all, you are the couple of the day. If you tell the chefs and staff in advance of your diet needs, it should not be difficult for them to accommodate you.
  2. Keeps your food separate. The meals usually come out separately, but the antipasto and buffet tables can have cross contamination whether it is a diet of seafood with meat or meat with veggies. Reception halls are usually smart enough to the keep food separate, but if you are nervous you can talk to the hall about the layout and timing of the food.
  3. Give people options on the invitation. This is common for any dinner parties and other occasions. There is no reason it ca not be for your wedding too. Offer a choice between three diet dishes like regular, vegetarian or vegan. Chicken, fish or veggies. There are plenty of diet options you can give your guests because if they choose their dish, then you will not be on the hook if they dislike their meal.
  4. Alcohol – People forget that a lot of alcohol has WHEAT in it which is something vegans and celiacs on their diet cannot have. There will be plenty of options for those who cannot drink, but make sure you have some choice for the people that DO want to drink. Alcoholic ciders are an easy option.

It is going to be impossible to please everyone. However, if you take some time during the planning stage to think about what food you need, everyone will be having a great time on a full stomach. You can check more about us on our website.
