Lettuce celebrate at one of these eateries.
Whether you're a foodie or simply looking to celebrate your love at one of the many restaurant wedding venues across the United States, you've landed on the right page. In some ways planning a restaurant wedding can be more straightforward as restaurants already have an in-house chef and/or experienced catering team ready to help you make your wedding culinary dreams a reality.
When choosing a restaurant wedding venue (as is the case with other types of wedding venues), you'll want to consider the wedding venue cost to ensure it's within your budget. Other questions to ask potential venues of interest include guest capacity and the types of specialty menus and cuisine types offered for weddings. You'll also want to acquire insights into options for any guests who may have allergies or intolerances and require alternatives.
