I'm having a wedding and my fiance and I want it to be completely vegan. We are not too keen on just making something that usually has meat in it and just substituting with tofu, because then people will notice the missing meat even more.
We want something exciting, perhaps asian food. Our "theme" is I guess more asian than anything else, but it is going to be a non-traditional wedding, perhaps with different cuisines (even mexican/italian). Our hors d' oevres will be vegetable nori rolls and perhaps spring rolls. We are also thinking about Pad Thai.
I guess my question is, first of all:
-Does anyone know of a good catering company in Orange County/Los Angeles that is good at stuff like this
-Caterers: what is your take on ideas like this? Suggestions? Complaints?
-We may want to bring in different foods from different companies. For example, there is a restaurant that makes a really good Pad Thai, and another restaurant that makes really good Nori Rolls.
Also, yes I am aware that some people feel we are "depriving" our guests of meat and cheese, but honestly, this is our day and this is what we want. Meat and cheese is available everywhere, they can get it some other time. Our food will be good and exciting anyway! It is one of the things we are willing to spend a lot of money on. A huge priority.
Thanks.
