I don‘t know if you‘re looking for suggestions and I don‘t know a lot about weddings, but I was at my second one last year and it was fancy and so was the food. But there was a Buffet at 10 or 11 pm and it was the best thing ever, right when everyone gets slightly hungry again we could strengthen ourselves for all the dancing. Maybe there‘s a more casual food that means something to your relationship that you could offer as this after dinner snack (eg like hire a pizzatruck) so nobody leaves hungry. It may even loosen up the atmosphere if some people are unsatisfied with the haute cuisine. Alternatively you could not care about these people and enjoy your day as you please (but I strongly suggest the late night snack/buffet either way, it was a huge hit!) Have a nice wedding!

I've been to quite a few weddings where there was a super formal meal at 6 to go along with speeches and that part of the evening, then around 9:30 or so, second dinner was served and was usually sandwiches, dessert trays, greasy finger foods, and the like. Definitely a big hit, especially when a lot of folks have been drinking for a good portion of the day and they need something in their bellies to help absorb it all :)

We had a buffet for dinner and then a huge goulash at 11. And our wedding cake was made of ice cream. Everyone was happy with their food, though I had barely time to sit down and eat 😅
