Question 1

How do I handle dietary restrictions at a large event?

Accepted Answer

Discuss vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, and allergy requirements with your caterer at least 4 weeks before the event. Clearly label all dishes and consider a dedicated station for special diets. Use our guest list to track dietary notes.

Some halls allow it while others require in-house catering. When external catering is allowed, expect a kitchen usage fee or corkage charge. Verify this policy early in your venue search.
