Wedding Receptions and Banquets with CKD: Working the Buffet and the Sit-Down Meal

What to know about wedding food with CKD
Wedding menus are built for celebration, not mineral budgets: salt on the carving station, sauce on everything, sugary drinks in hand. The strategy is the same as the restaurant guide — plain protein, sauce on the side, water — with the portions controlled by you rather than the kitchen. The ratings below show which reception staples stay manageable.
How to work the reception
At the sit-down dinner, ask the server for sauce on the side and skip the bread basket. At the buffet, anchor the plate on grilled protein and vegetables, take fruit for dessert, and keep water in hand. The open bar is the sodium-and-sugar end — soda and sweet cocktails move the day quickly.
