Oh! I'm shooting a vegan wedding in June and I'm going to make it my mission to be in the 2010 edition! I love a challenge!

For Las Vegas being such a huge destination for weddings, I expected to find a lot of veg restaurants there. In all my research, I've yet to find a single caterer! VegNews, PLEASE. Do a feature on Vegas for us Vegans that want to get married by a rhinestoned Elvis. (Or just those of us that are traveling!)

Tracy, that is such a fun story idea. Thank you for suggesting!

I am a new vegan living in Las Vegas and would LOVE any guidance as to where I can find local resources!

Hi everyone :) These wedding issues are quite possibly my favorite issues of VegNews. Currently I work for a global television station and we'd love to do a show on vegan weddings. Please contact us if you'd be interested in being filmed on your wedding to be made into a show and aired worldwide. miss.linda@gmail.com

My husband and I had a vegan wedding in May 2009 and after a couple disappointing caterers, we went with Whole Foods who made an AMAZING spread! Bring from DC, we made sure to have cupcakes from Sticky Fingers Bakery!
