Event Services

Among the many issues facing event planners is making sure your guests' dietary needs are known and addressed. As more and more Americans follow specialized diets, it's no longer acceptable to simply have a vegetarian option on hand.

One growing dietary concern among event guests is the need for a gluten-free option. It's estimated that about one in 133 people in America have Celiac Disease. Intolerant to dietary gluten, those diagnosed with Celiac Disease must abide by a gluten-free diet, eliminating wheat, rye, barley oats and ingredients made from these grains.

Luckily, event caterers are hearing the call from planners to offer gluten-free meals. Below are a few that can meet your needs for gluten-free fare.
