Things we want to see this season!
We love watching trends like the next caterer, but in this blog we decided to share some of the things we would like to see at events in 2016.
#1) Bring it back to the food: We have seen so many great things happen to the event space over the years. With websites like Pinterest the average person throwing a party has so much to choose from to make their event stand out. With that, we urge you to remember that while décor with all the bells and whistles is important, the food is what is going to leave your guests with a feeling of joy or disappointment. With that, we want to see people pay just as much attention to the food as they do the décor. Skimping on one does not make for a good affair.
#2) Heartier Cocktail hours: Remember that your guests have just attended an hour to an hour and a half wedding ceremony and they are going to be hungry! The cocktail reception is not the time to fall short on food. We have seen brides say, “Well, I don’t want them to eat too much at the cocktail hour so they won’t be hungry for the main meal.” Trust us, your guests are going to want something to eat as soon as they get to the cocktail hour and it is your role to make sure they have plenty to choose from. Let’s make this a trend for 2016 together!
#3) Attention to food detail: We want clients to work with their caterers to truly come up with food that is spectacular. There is so much that can be done on a plate and it is a true shame to not sit with your caterer to prepare a meal that is both creative and tasty. For 2016, make sure you work with your catering professionals to make a meal that will stand out.
Now that we have shared our top three trends we want to see in 2016 we hope you will take them to heart. Your party and your guests will thank you for taking the time to bring culinary creations to the seat of honor.
