Can a Chosson lead the bentching excluding the Sheva Brachos? I ask this because I understand that other people lead but let’s say the Chosson was in a restaurant and wanted to make a minyan for Sheva Brachos and he leads but doesn’t say the Sheva Brachos.

Can this be done?

This is not Halacha L’maaseh!

    but let’s say the Chosson was in a restaurant and wanted to make a minyan for Sheva Brachos not sure why that's relevant for your question. You're simply asking if he can lead the bentching... – robev Jul 07 '21 at 09:30
  • Just in case someone asked why he wants to lead. Just trying to cover all basis. – Daniel Ross Jul 07 '21 at 11:25

    Even with your story I don't understand why he wants to lead... – Double AA Jul 07 '21 at 11:47

I've never seen anyone do this though and I don't know why not. – Double AA Jul 07 '21 at 15:07
