More Las Vegas couples are planning fully vegan weddings — not as a restriction, but as a statement of how they want the day to feel: fresh, generous, and kind. The worry is always the same: will a menu with no meat, dairy, or eggs still feel like a celebration? Done with intention, it more than does. At Maison Yen, our kitchen is fully vegetarian by default and fully vegan on request, and a well-built plant-based menu becomes one of the most talked-about parts of the wedding. Here are the ideas we walk couples through.

Cocktail hour and canapes

The first bite sets the tone, so we keep cocktail hour bright and varied across several traditions: crisp Vietnamese-style summer rolls with herbs and peanut, Korean savory pancakes, Mediterranean muhammara and marinated olives, Indian-spiced potato tikki, and Thai mango with sticky coconut rice. None of it leans on a packaged meat substitute — every canape is built from whole vegetables, legumes, and grains, so guests taste the food, not a stand-in.

Plated and family-style mains

For the main event, vegan dishes carry the plate when you build them around ingredients with real depth. A roasted king oyster or portobello mushroom takes on a meaty char; a squash or eggplant steak roasts to a rich, caramelized center; Korean japchae, Taiwanese braised greens, and a Japanese mushroom donburi bring umami without a drop of dairy. We swap butter for good olive oil and toasted nut creams, and finish sauces with coconut or cashew rather than cream — the result reads as luxurious, not lacking.

Desserts without dairy or eggs

Dessert is where couples worry most and are surprised most. A plant-based pastry program leans on naturally forward flavors — matcha, black sesame, coconut, dark chocolate, seasonal fruit — with aquafaba and nut milks doing the work eggs and cream once did. A tiered display of coconut panna-cotta cups, dark-chocolate tarts, and fruit-forward mochi closes the night on a high note that happens to be entirely vegan.

How we build a vegan menu

Every menu starts from whole ingredients, not processed replacements — no faux deli meats, nothing deep-fried, nothing that arrives heavy. Browse our seasonal menus to see the dishes, and read how we run wedding catering from delivery through cleanup. A tasting confirms the kitchen delivers what the proposal promises, and is the right moment to lock in gluten-free and nut-allergy accommodations alongside the vegan build.
