We are doing plated dinner with two entree choices at our reception. Our venue offers chicken, fish, and beef (and no matter what we choose there will also be a silent vegetarian option available).
We are trying to decide which two entrees to offer. We are both pescatarian. We definitely want one option to be chicken since it is the most universally liked - my family has a lot of picky eaters that would definitely order it.
My FH wants to do chicken and fish so that he can eat the fish option (I'm not a huge fan of fish and would probably get the vegetarian option either way). While our vegetarian option looks good, he said it's just not what he wants to eat at his wedding. Which I can understand.
However, it seems like most people expect a beef/steak option at a wedding, and many of our guests are traveling far so I want them to be satisfied. I'm worried the lack of a "real" meat option would be noticed and grumbled about.
As a guest, which would you prefer? Chicken and beef or chicken and fish? If there was no beef option, would that be noticeable?
Edit - Forgot to add that our cocktail hour will definitely have both beef and fish hors d'oeuvres available.
