Haute Cuisine is fine for a wedding if done right. I've been to weddings with haute cuisine, and it was amazing. When you eat at a haute cuisine restaurant, usually you'll get at least 7 servings and you will feel very full after, and you should at the wedding too.

If you're planning on not having enough courses, make sure there are some filling snacks not that long before and after the meal. This could be pizza afterwards. At one wedding I was at, it was hot dogs and it was awesome :)

I wouldn’t serve fancy food at a wedding. I’d save the fine dining to date nights with with spouse. Wedding food isn’t like going out to dinner — wedding food is always subpar for what it is and people are so busy with festivities that they don’t even fully remember the food. I wanted my guests to feel good (no greasy food) and I wanted to make sure to accommodate dietary restrictions, so we ended up with restaurant catering from a really good Mediterranean place. I didn’t worry too much if it was remembered but people still tell me it was the best food they had at a wedding.

The entertainment and restaurant part of your spiel was a joke, right? The lack of diversity part? D.C. is the most diverse place in America and yes, it's as diverse as NYC, if not more. I'm not trying to beat you up for dissing D.C., to each his own, as the youths say, but come on man! Inside the beltway isn't for everyone. The neverending choices of food and entertainment alone places D.C. in the same league of every major city in the world because every city/country in the world is represented in...D.C. that alone totally cancels your lack of diversity take. Get out and explore the place. Every quadrant is unique.

Here’s the thing. I’ve heard lots of married couples complain they didn’t get to eat at their wedding cause there wasn’t time. And you should be aiming to please your guests. Get some different catering and use the money you are saving on haute cuisine catering to take you and your new wife to a Michelin star restaurant on your honeymoon, it will be more memorable and you won’t have your FIL attempt to murder you both on your wedding day.
