Do canapes have to be kosher for our Rabbi?

We are having wedding ceremony at reception venue 1st with a Rabbi offici Do canapes after have to be kosher, when we are signing the documents? What is the protocol? Kosher food is very expensive. The Rabbi will not be attending the reception but will be present when canapes are offered around.

I would think out of respect for the Rabbi, that all Canapes offered to the Rabbi should be Kosher. How you go about this would be something to discuss with your amazing caterer :)

This is a funny question. If you have a Rabbi to marry you, why would you question having kosher food?

Hi there

It might be something you could ask the Rabbi, I don't know the answer but as a suggestion you could have some canapes just for the Rabbi just like you would for the aunt or cousin with food allergies. Unless it is disrepectful not having all Kosher food.

Good luck

As respect for the Rabbi the canapes should be kosher.
