Whiney pouty vent

I'm looking at menus online for venues and EVERYTHING (except for the place I'm in love with that I can't afford, obviously) sounds icky.

I'm a vegetarian, and I'm a picky eater. FI is an ever PICKIER eater. And I really want something different than Penne Vodka and Chicken Francaise. Really, mashed potatoes just don't sound elegant at a wedding. And these things aren't that cheap either!!

Well, that's pretty much par for the course. Can you get a venue that will allow you to bring in an outside caterer? Do you have any vegetarian restaurants in your area that do catering?

Out of curiousity, what would you like for them to cook for you?

Well, the place that I'm in love with has a goat cheese ravioli that sound awesome... and hors d'oeurves consist of empanadas, sushi, and cheeseburgers (cheeseburgers for FI)

I'm not so much picky about what it is, I think I'm just cranky that there's nothing for me to eat lol.

Sooo... why not ask them to make something you're enthusiastic about eating? A lot of places will cook dishes off the menu if you ask nicely.

I sure hope so

When we pick a venue food will obviously be a big factor, so hopefully the place we pick will be ammenable.

Several places I looked at told me that their menu was just an example of what they could do. One also said that they would even recreate any dish we wanted if we provided the recipe. Didn't go with them because of the size of the venue.

I know you said you can't get the venue you wanted because of price but have you thought about cutting the guest list, flower budget, dress budget, invitation budget, etc. a little to possibly afford the venue?

If it really is out of the question than I agree with Kaesha. Ask around at different venues and see who will work with you on an "off the menu" item like the goat cheese ravioli.

Also, are your guests all vegetarian too? Maybe the venue would do just a few plates of the ravioli for you and other vegetarians and keep meat options for the other guests. Personally, i'm not a fan of goat cheese so I would be hungry at your reception if this was the only choice.

Suz, I totally agree. I don't want JUST goat cheese ravioli lol that'd be silly. But I want SOMETHING different, yknow?

I was just whiney haha. FI and I are discussing different things so hopefully we'll find a venue that's perfect

This!!! Our venue volunteered to do some recipes that we recommended, as we're vegan and they had NOTHING on their menu.
