Catering A Laid Back Gluten-Free Wedding in Venice Beach

Venice Beach Outdoor Wedding - with a Gluten-Free Flair

Nisa and Jeremy are all Venice Beach all the way – relaxed, laid back and total lovers of the beach – and of course in love! For their wedding they took over a motel right on Venice beach and transformed it into a fantastic party space for their 100 guests. Gorgeous warm beach day, lovely breeze, a fantastic live band and love was definitely in the air. A serious concern for the bride was her severe allergy to wheat-gluten – and she did not want to miss out! We answered with a fun, beach themed menu – Kosher and gluten-free menu to accommodate several family members with gluten allergies, including the bride. We had a lot of fun creating their amazing eighteen item menu! Among the selections: Mini fish tacos, mini burgers, gluten-free corn dogs, fresh salads, fabulous mini quesadillas, mini Caesar salads in parmesan cups and even mini blueberry pies!
