Describe the guest group and schedule
Share approximate attendance, event timing, age range where relevant and the amount of time available for dining. These details affect portion planning, service flow and the place of food in the programme.
Name culinary references
List the regional or household traditions you want to discuss, along with preferences about spice, variety or familiar dishes. A specific conversation is more useful than a broad cuisine label alone.
Confirm requirements directly
Send dietary requirements to the responsible provider and ask about ingredients, preparation and cross-contact. Treat sample menus as discussion prompts until a provider confirms the actual menu and handling.
A short checklist
- Estimate guest range and meal timing
- List regional references and priorities
- Separate confirmed needs from menu ideas
- Ask how dietary details are assessed and communicated
Important considerations
- A menu example is illustrative; it does not indicate availability or a fixed offering.
- Dietary and allergen safety must be confirmed directly by the food provider.
Ask the people responsible for the details.
- How will the meal fit the ceremony and schedule?
- Which dishes or traditions should guide the discussion?
- How are ingredients, preparation and cross-contact confirmed?
