Sounds boring. Still. I don't know where these people meet each other. At a cabbage patch?
I've nothing against vegan menus and think that if possibly is a healthy lifestyle choice. Not healthier but healthy.
But I really don't know how any wedding could actually have more than say 4 people of this persuasion.

Who says you're invited hahaha

zaralynne

perhaps they're not "ethical vegans"? its about how you spend your money for us,

If I'm being honest I wouldn't look forward being invited to a vegan wedding but I'd give it a go tough. It would be the same as any other wedding tough. If the food is bad. You just head to the nearest chipper when your heading home.

I'd be a big meat and fish eater. I did study and work in hospitality for a while and all the vegan options generally wouldn't having being appealing to me because they had were often packed with vegetables that I would never eat. I wouldn't be a big vegetable eater and theirs only certain things I'd eat.

I am not vegetarian. Though through personal taste about 70% of what I eat is meat free. From this perspective i can tell you, you won't be starved having a full vegan meal.
OP, i've been to a fully vegan wedding before and the food was amazing. The place has changed now so i don't think they still do it. But i hear Ballintaggart house in Dingle do Vegan and vegetarian weddings. I've been to a wedding there too and it is amazing. Best of luck with the wedding!

I think the point of the OP's post isn't to look for an opinion on vegan vs. meet. And catering for people who need meet etc.

Their looking for good vegan locations.

Exactly thank you! I wish people would read my questions. Rather than debate

This is a contentious issue. But if you can't post in a polite, respectful and constructive manner, then don't post at all. There will be no tolerance for breach of this rule, and expect infractions and bans if you don't follow it.

I think that people arguing about veganism is a "contentious issue". Not my original question which simply looked for the advice of other vegans about venues.

Mod note: Enough. Your personal views on veganism and vegan food are irrelevant. The OP is asking for an input regarding venues, not lifestyle choices. Let's assume none of you are invited to the OP's wedding, so it really doesn't matter if you'd attend due to food served or not.

OP, I can move this thread to the Vegan and Vegetarian forum if you'd like. You might have better responses there?

Thank you very much Faith! that's exactly it! I'd love if you could move ti to the veg section thank you

Exactly, I'm not sure many are actually reading my questions asking for fellow vegans advice rather than a debate about veganism.

Thanks for that. I couldn't remember the name of the place in Dingle and it has been driving me mad.

There's already been warnings on this thread - the OP didn't ask for anyone's opinion on veganism/vegetarianism; they asked for suggestions of venues that would cater for that sort of wedding menu. If you can't offer constructive, helpful advice then please don't post.

I didn't mean to be unhelpful to the OP. I was just saying it would be like any wedding or event I've being to. If I was hungry on the way home I'd just go to the chipper". So, she could do her own thing without worrying about guests!

Exactly! Most wedding food is mediocre at best, it's par for catering for large numbers. I doubt anyone bases their decision to attend a wedding on the menu.

That wasn't directed at you In fairness, I think heading to the chipper on the way home from a wedding is a fairly common occurrence, especially if it's late at night and a few drinks have been had.

Mod note: Moved to the Vegan and Vegetarian forum at OP's request. The V&V forum stands from now on and I'm sure it's a lot stricter than the weddings one.

Was best man at a 100% vegan wedding in the Gibson - down to changing which taps the micro-bar in the room had (as Diageo products weren't vegan at the time). Very accomodating - you'll probably have more trouble sourcing the cake. Nibbles with the prosecco, full meal and pizza/nibbles later all provided.

Wasn't a huge wedding but was no means small and used the full normal wedding suite there so I'd assume they can handle for any size they normally handle.

Hi zaralynne. Did you choose a venue for your wedding reception? I'd love to hear where you chose! And if you picked up any more useful information in your search.

I've been to two completely vegetarian wedding receptions, one at The Three Towers Eco House and Organic Kitchen at the Slieve Aughty Centre, Co. Galway (2015), and one at Barberstown Castle, Co. Kildare (2016). I had the vegan options at both

I'm not looking to book anywhere for a wedding reception just yet, but it's nice to pick up any recommendations.

Was in Fallon & Byrne ( place where I got married) and they havw vegan options on their dinner menu.

They;re also very accommodating
