Picking out the wedding food is akin to a fun puzzle. You have to know what your guests like and find a way to fit that into the overall theme of the wedding. Pizza, burgers, and fries would probably make nearly everyone happy, but this might not match the refined atmosphere you’re going for. On the flip side, if you make every nibble and meal overly aristocratic, you might leave most people confused, hungry, and googling the directions for local eateries.

An incredibly important factor to consider is whether your guests have any unique dietary preferences or potential allergies. You wouldn’t want to serve steak to vegans any more than you’d like to sideline someone with nut allergies by serving allergens in every single appetizer and main dish.

Things get a bit more difficult when it’s the happy couple themselves who have a very specific diet.
For example, let’s say that the marrying couple is vegan and they don’t want to serve meat at the wedding due to ethical concerns. However, most of their family and friends are omnivores, and the couple doesn’t want to upset them either. A possible solution in this case would be to hire some talented chefs to create some truly stunning vegan meals that anyone would enjoy. That way, you can still stick to the vegan script while also keeping everyone else happy. Or, to put it simply, if your food’s delicious, many omnivores won’t care whether it’s meat or plant-based. But keep people hungry and you’ll have drama on your hands.
What’s the very best and worst wedding food that you’ve ever had the (dis)pleasure of tasting, dear Pandas? What did you serve at your own weddings? Tell us all about it in the comments!
