Best Events for Guests with Food Allergies and Dietary Restrictions

Not all of us have adventurous appetites. Sometimes it’s by choice, and sometimes it’s due to a food allergy or other dietary restriction. In the latter case, careful planning is a necessity to make sure everyone feels accommodated and welcomed at your event. In either case, there are tons of options for event planners or field marketers to choose from when planning an event around a specific appetite or allergy. Below are some of our favorite appetite-conscious selections.
