Need wedding venue that allows me to bring our own food.

I'm having a traditional Puerto Rican wedding and one tradition is that family and friends bring food to the wedding. Caterers tend to only cater to White or African American Cuisine. Puerto Rican Caterers aren't on the approved list for that individual property. It's becoming very frustrating. I need to find a venue that will let me have the beautiful water front wedding with the food I want to bring. I've even started settling for parks but pavilions have a no refund policy for bad weather and can younimahine having to find a last minute venue due to rain? I like in Baltimore MD.

    The joke has definitely not gone over my head, I've laughed quite a bit so far, that being said I was not about to get people on my back about how I'm being insensitive or possibly even racist against whites.

    Like when I originally wtote it, I meant "White American or African America" and assumed writing it as "White or African American" wouldn't have been too different but and yet some people have been passively offended which wasn't my intention. But at thus point I'm constantly defending my own wedding desires and tradition so seriously the green beans and chicken were pretty freaking funny Smiley xd

    Some firehouse halls are really nice and will let you bring food in. I don't suggest self catering though. I am Puerto Rican as well and while there aren't any fine dining options, we have a few PR restaurants that do cater for large quantities of people with advance notice.
