The bride, as well as her parents, _____ eating.
is
I'm assuming you left out a comma. The bride is eating, and so are her parents.
subject (singular) - verb agreement.
If you meant the bride and her parents, then the correct word would be are.

The subject if the sentence is "bride". Therefore the correct conjugation to use is "is". A comma must appear after "parents".
