I need help for wedding starters with all these requirements!

[ThisMustBeMyDream]

My lovely wedding venue have given us free reign to suggest some starters as we like nothing on their (really quite extensive) menu. Yes, I am a fussy eater! And what I do like, DP doesn't!
Main course will be a roast, followed by sticky Toffee.
Things I do not like: most meat (other than chicken, bacon, ham). Fish. Cheese other than cheddar, mozzarella, halloumi. Risotto. Soup is ruled out (too messy, not special enough!).
Things I'd normally have as a starter: tomato bruschetta, tomato and mozzarella salad, garlic bread.
Things DP doesn't like: tomato. Goats cheese. Olives. Courgette. Cumin. Tacos.
DP nornally has a meat or fish starter.
We can only have one starter option for everyone to eat so also trying to keep it to something most will eat (barring dietary requirements).
The only potential we've come up with is bacon and cheese potato skins. Not sure if this works with our menu though!
Please help this stressed couple out so we can send a list to our venue to work with (so they don't hate me for being such hard work!).
Thank you kindly!

I'm a bit puzzled that you don't think that a really nice soup isn't 'special' enough, yet crisps and doughnuts are.

DD got married in July and also had a (big) roast dinner and sticky toffee pudding for afters. Can't remember the starter but it was a very heavy combo! Then her MiL ordered a buffet for the evening guests. Just too much food altogether.

People don’t really remember wedding food unless there isn’t enough of it or it’s something a bit unexpected like a curry buffet or a fish and chip van. Your wedding food will be completely unmemorable so just give everyone a bit of melon or tomato soup or a salad with a bit of iceberg lettuce and job done. If your husband to be doesn’t like any of these options, he can fill up on a bit of bread.

I don’t remember eating much of our wedding food - I was going around checking everyone was ok and enjoying themselves.

Pot noodle

Not only that but the food she's chosen is a roast dinner and a sticky toffee pudding, which are available everywhere! And she thought they were stingy on the portion size, too. I'm baffled.

It's not about what you like to eat, forget that and go for crowd pleasers. One hot chicken dish and one vegetarian or vegan dish, sorted. Don't sweat it beyond that.

I think you would need some sort of enchanted pan to produce a meal that meets all the requirements here.

Garlic mushrooms or stuffed mushrooms?

Fried mozzarella balls on a stick with dip or glaze

The perfect solution 🙌

Wonder if the reception will be over at dinner time, if everyone is eating their tiny portion at 2pm they'll need fed again.

Could you have bread (anything you like) and dips? Might not be traditional, but we have a favourite Greek near us and my favourite starter is strips of Greek break and houmous, tzatziki, and Ezme with strips of Greek bread. Obviously you could have different bread if you wanted or maybe even a couple of different breads if you wanted.

That’s not too much food for a wedding 😂. It’s a perfectly normal amount of food to anyone except the MN teeny-tinies.

On a hot Sunday in July the food was far too much and too heavy. Most of the evening buffet was left as everyone was still full from lunch. But you do you.

No problem. Double Complan all round.
