Wedding Venue- Bring your own food?!

First Anniversary

Hello! 
Anyone know of a venue where you can bring your own food? We have amazing cooks in our family and prefer to go that route.
Price isn't an issue! And neither is the location!
TIA!

    Please do not have your family cook for your wedding! They should be hosted and able to enjoy your wedding day as a GUEST, not a worker.

    I second this.

    Also, from a food safety standpoint, there is a HUGE difference between being able to cook for a dinner party of 8 people, and for a wedding of 50/100/150+ people. Food will need to be kept at the proper temperature at ALL TIMES, otherwise you run the risk of sending your guests home with food poisoning, which either be extremely uncomfortable, or lethal.

    You can look at rental a banquet hall, like a VFW or something similar, where insurance is not required and you can typically do what you want.  I would, however, not recommend doing that.
