#### It can be tough to get the gluten free diet right and to deliver something uncompromisingly delicious. But it certainly isn’t impossible to pull off a gluten-free wedding if you start getting creative!
 
Although a gluten free menu means no wheat, therefore no bread, there are grains that are still suitable for coeliacs. Rice, Quinoa, Amaranth, Buckwheat and Corn in any form can serve as great sides or can be incorporated directly into a dish. Buckwheat, for instance, can add a nice nutty taste to pie crust while Quinoa can serve as a wonderful grain salad.
 
If you’re looking for inspiration for your allergen friendly wedding food, here is a mini guide to building your menu.

## Canapés

From stilton cheesecake to beef carpaccio on parmesan crisps, Martha Stewart has quite a collection of <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.marthastewartweddings.com/403200/gluten-free-appetizers-wedding">gluten free wedding appetizers</a> that are exploding with flavour. Each bite-sized canapé uses basic, readily available ingredients and achieves the perfect balance between sweet and savoury. If however, you’re planning on having a simpler selection, lay out some cheese platters with cured meats, chutney, nuts and other yummy gluten free nibbles.

## Starters
To make sure your meal is gluten free, just remember to say __NO__ to the following:
Wheat, Spelt, Kamut, Couscous, Rye and Barley. 

Rice is therefore a great alternative add substance to a dish and to satisfy your hungry guests. Impress them with a fragrant Truffle risotto, topped with fresh parsley and Parmesan shavings. Today, you can find truffle infused oil at almost any local supermarket at a pretty reasonable price.

## Mains
Opting for a Mediterranean inspired menu will naturally lend itself to a gluten free wedding.  Get inspired by the seaside and serve some fresh grilled fish accompanied by seasonal vegetables.
 
Alternatively serve up a succulent roast chicken, with silky mash and buttery peas. In our experience, this is always a crowd pleaser!

## Desserts
The wedding cake is a heavily anticipated part of the meal. What flavour has been chosen? How many tiers will it be? Will it be indulgent, decadent and worth every calorie? Why not beat the odds and serve up a sky-high macaroon tower.
 
Presenting your guests with this alternative dessert is a trendy and fun way serve a gluten-free “cake”. The small French biscuits are made from a mix of almonds, egg whites and sugar to create a crisp yet chewy meringue. They are then filled and sandwiched together with a creamy ganache. Best of all, they come in different flavours and colours to please everyone. My personal favourite, and the one I crave on daily basis, has got to be Salted Caramel.

Gluten Free Platter

It's tough to get the gluten free diet right and deliver uncompromisingly delicious food, but it isn’t impossible to pull off a gluten-free wedding if you get creative! Check out our suggestions for gluten free wedding cakes and much more.

Ultimate gluten free wedding food ideas

Delicious, affordable and totally Insta-worthy. It’s no surprise that street food is making its way to the coolest weddings this year. Why? 


## 1. Street food is fresh

À la minute couldn’t be more accurate. Watch as your burger goes from grill, to bun and then into you hands within minutes. You won’t have any complaints about cold or soggy food! The best part of street food is that it’s made to order and customizable for those difficult “no onion, no lettuce, no tomato, no cheese, no mayo” guests.

[Feast It’s street food traders](https://feast-it.com/event/wedding) are there to make your wedding day hassle free and they will try to accommodate all your needs. Lots are able to provide gluten free menus, dishes using halal meat or vegetarian options should you need.

![Gymkhana](//images.ctfassets.net/91pq7vxbip7x/7JraWNUa1UCiyWIC0sqG0S/61fc0b371637a5512b96f81213467fbc/Gymkhana.jpg)

## 2. Street food offers variety

From steamed bao buns to jerk chicken, the choices are endless. Mama’s Jerk, one of London’s top Caribbean eateries, serves the real deal with succulent smoked chicken that’s marinated overnight. If you’re into American street food try one of the capital’s best burgers from Patty & Bun or go for a fully loaded hot dog.
 
Want something more sophisticated? The Italians behind Maremosso serve fresh seafood and Mediterranean classics with a twist.

All the suppliers we work with are able to make a [bespoke menu](https://feast-it.com/event/wedding) for your special day, so don’t miss out and book them now!

![14691914 1643869972590029 9209167690558618025 o](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/30QQnrf4rCMOoaOEmOEUaC/2c5d9d597e4817b849c54ca0b93c03a2/14691914_1643869972590029_9209167690558618025_o.jpg)

## 3. Street food is budget friendly

Some of us splurge on the perfect dress, others on the ideal venue. But food doesn’t have to take a huge chunk out of a wedding budget. Most street food suppliers offer mains for around £7 and have loads of sides to keep tummies full and satisfied. Aside from being expensive, traditional wedding catering often includes a multicourse meal, which many don’t manage to finish. Rather than big plates, guests might like smaller bites, making street food the perfect alternative.

Remember, [hiring a food truck](https://feast-it.com/event/wedding) can save you heaps, leaving you with enough to go on your dream honeymoon. 

## 4. Street food is unique

Why not be different? Your guests, who have most likely never experienced a street food wedding, are guaranteed to have an amazing time devouring gourmet hot dogs or savouring their first sushi burger. Double the wow-factor and host a vegan wedding, with beetroot burgers from [The Green Grill](https://feast-it.com/vendors/the-green-grill). Or why not finish the meal with some silky smooth ice cream rolls from [Sliced Ice](https://feast-it.com/vendors/sliced-ice). Your guests will be talking about your wedding for years to come! 

![Sliced Ice-42](//images.ctfassets.net/91pq7vxbip7x/6vXJljZHFY0Kqgq8e2o8cw/eda6ae402d844ef0ba26f861e52b61d8/Sliced_Ice-42.JPG)

## 5. Street food offers flexibility 

Don’t let your caterer restrict your choice of venue. Your food truck will follow you to your naturalistic forest wedding, your hilltop hideaway or your backyard do. If you’re looking for a cool wedding venue, try the London Zoo and have a line up of street food vendors come and serve. Sip cocktails in Butterfly Paradise, eat handmade pasta in Tiger Territory or indulge in sweet treats in Lion Land.

Why street food makes the perfect wedding food

Love is priceless, but weddings cost. 

Between the perfect dress and a decadent cake, brides and grooms-to-be can be easily overwhelmed by the cost of their wedding. That’s why it’s important to carve out a wedding budget before you start planning anything. Don’t forget that a wedding can cost whatever you choose, so when organising different parts of the day, work out which parts will mean the most to you and allocate a bigger proportion of your budget to those elements. Below is a detailed breakdown of the average cost of wedding essentials (adapted from bridesmagazine.co.uk):

__1. Ceremony & reception venue: £5000
__

Whether or not you’ve chosen to have your wedding at a different location from your reception, book your venue(s) well ahead of time. Hotels and restaurants can get booked up fast. If you wait too long, you might find your first choice is not available, and you’ll just have to settle for the more expensive alternative.  If you haven’t found a venue yet, check out <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.hitched.co.uk/wedding-planning/ceremony-and-reception/unique-wedding-venues_297.htm">this list</a> of quirky wedding locations in the UK.

*Saving tip*: Why not host your wedding in your garden. You can book a marquee for about 80 guests from £430


![Wedding table PEXELS](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/2epIxLRDs0ogImImMYsCos/10c9c00c00815aa331bd8a330ecb200d/Wedding_table_PEXELS.jpg)

__2.Catering: £3900__

Before contacting a caterer, it’s important to decide on the style of your wedding. Are you going for a relaxed, informal vibe or do you intend on having candle lit tables? This will impact the choice of food you serve and whether you have a self-serve buffet or a multi-course dinner. Whatever you go for, make sure to treat guests (and yourself!) to an unforgettable meal.

Saving tip: Instead of a formal sit down meal, hire a food truck to cater your wedding. There’s no need for waiters or fancy tableware, and best of all, it’s prepared in half the time. [Find out more](https://feast-it.com/event/wedding) and book your perfect street food vendor today. 

__3. Photography: £1040__

There’s no point in trying to save by not having a photographer at your wedding. This is a day you’ll want to remember for the rest of your life. No negotiating…

__4. Flowers: £550__

From the bridesmaid bouquets to dinner table arrangements, flowers are everywhere. By consulting a florist, you’ll have an array of flowers that will go well with the décor and that will bring your venue to life.

*Saving tip*: You can understand how floral arrangements can quickly eat into your budget. Try and reuse your ceremony flowers for your reception.   

![bouquet PEXELS](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/5YKMKsswRGUS6Is0UgAYKE/53861b64a7e388525187843b55e2b091/bouquet_PEXELS.jpg)

__5. Cake: £400__

Yummm. Your wedding cake should be the evening’s showstopper. Either stick to a traditional three-tiered cake or borrow ideas from <a rel="nofollow" href="http://uk.businessinsider.com/top-wedding-cake-trends-2017-3?r=US&IR=T/#naked-cakes-1">this list of the hottest wedding cake trends.</a>

*Saving tip*: Have a smaller wedding cake along with a dessert bar of simpler, budget friendly sweets. 

![Naked cake UNSPLASH](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/o3MY3hgM4o024QuuQ6uGK/113df15e55b56ae09b50af2c72c4c84e/Naked_cake_UNSPLASH.jpg)

__6. Entertainment: £1000__

The entertainment at your venue will set the mood for the rest of the day. Live music will make an impact and will add a more personal touch. In addition to great tunes, you might want to organise activities tried and tested by <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.weddingideasmag.com/wedding-entertainment-ideas-from-real-wedded-couples/">real wedded couples.</a>

__7. Dress: £1500__

The moment has arrived to find your dress. For most, a Vera Wang is way out of budget. But fear not, as the UK has thousands of designers specialising in bridal wear. Just decide on a style – A-line, mermaid or tea length– and hit the bridal salon where you’ll be given expert advice. In the meantime, get inspired by these <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.brides.com/gallery/classic-wedding-dresses">beautiful and timeless</a>  wedding dresses.

*Saving tip*: end of season sales are a great place to hunt for the perfect dress. Be patient, and you might just find the one!

![Wedding dress PEXELS](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/3Xj43y8a7eeySsUgSYwKSa/811452c3f6f8c850df3a51b24cea6286/Wedding_dress_PEXELS.jpg)

__8. Shoes: £150__

Remember that you’ll not only have to walk down the aisle in those gorgeous stilettos or peep-toed sandals, but you’ll also spend the night on the dance floor busting some moves. Buy a pair of comfortable shoes and break them in at home before the big day. 

__9. Headdress veil: £130__

Elegant and romantic, a veil is the complementary accessory to any wedding outfit. If you want something more modern, try a studded headband or a pearl tiara. 
 
__10. Beauty: £300__

Avoid <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.bridalguide.com/beauty-fitness/makeup-skincare/makeup-mistakes">these makeup mishaps</a>, and you’ll be the most beautiful bride of the year.

__11. Favours & gifts: £400__

Although the day is all about the bride and groom, party favours are a nice way to thank your guests, bridesmaids and groomsmen for making the day extra special. Homemade edible gifts are an affordable and thoughtful idea or if you don’t have the time to spare check out <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.hitched.co.uk/wedding-planning/organising-and-planning/amazing-wedding-favour-ideas_848.htm">these unique favour ideas.</a>

*Saving tip*: You might find that lots of your guests have come as couples. Save on gifts by giving one per couple. 

__12. Wedding rings: £800__

Unlike the cake that will be gone by the end of the day, your wedding bands will stay with you through the test of time. If you’re new to buying rings, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.bridesmagazine.co.uk/planning/general/engagement-rings/2014/how-to-choose-wedding-rings-tips/gallery#!photo1">use this easy guide</a> to find the perfect one. 

__13. Honeymoon £4000__

You’ve made it through the months of planning, the last minute cancellations and the day itself. A long, extravagant holiday is well deserved.  Whether you’re looking for a city-break or an island retreat, there are some  <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.theknot.com/content/best-honeymoon-destinations">amazing destinations</a> on offer.

### __Canapés__


After the I do’s and confetti lobbing, it’s only right to treat your guests to a couple of glasses of fizz and a couple of small tasty treats. It’s the best way to kick off what we all know’s going to be the best part of the day…

NEVER underestimate the power of the canapé; these small, delicious bites can keep everyone happy before the big wedding meal comes along. We recommend that you go for quantity here because there’s always going to be somebody hogging the waiter! Don't be afraid to break culinary boundaries, caviar bellinis were so last year didn't you know! Instead, bring the shores of the Seychelles to your wedding by booking the amazing Vinn Goute to serve up their delicious snapper bites with chilli jam. A sure way to put a smile on everyone's faces! You can read more about how our brilliant wedding caters can get involved with your wedding right [here](https://feast-it.com/event/wedding).

### __Main__

Here at Feast It, we're big fans of going for something a little less traditional when it comes to the main course. A great idea is to book large sharing platters for the whole table, so everyone can try a bit of everything and all tuck in together! It’s a great way to get the whole table talking and start sharing the love. When it comes to summer weddings look into a gourmet BBQ caterer who can spit-roast chickens for each table, just make sure you nominate someone to be the honorary carver for the day and your guests will be in for a treat! 

![Spit-and-Roast-Feast-It-Wedding-Food](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/MQ27HSIQo02qEUegkk8qc/403fbed948aad7a7db8e0a72e6630b0d/Image-1-3_copy.jpg)

### __Fuel Food__
