Think food is just for eating? Think again. With the advent of cooking shows and celebrity chefs sweeping America, one thing is certain: food at a special event must do more than just please the pallette. It requires innovation, creativity and must also entertain as a working art.
Consider these fun enhancements to keep things fresh and guests talking about your event for a long time:
Re-Defining Cocktail Hour: Passed Savory Cupcakes (mini meatloaf topped with mashed potato “icing” and rosemary); Mobile Appetizers that include edible spoons or bowls (mini bread bowls)
Interactive Food Stations: Guests love to be entertained – sushi stations, homemade tortilla-making and guacamole stations; having a wine tasting with sommelier to assist guests with enjoying various wine varietals during cocktail hour. etc.
Signature Cocktails Going Vintage: Everyone’s heard of signature cockails at a wedding. But how about taking those signature cocktails and making them go “retro”? Consider Yahoo chocolate milk in mixers; how about offering cocktail popsicles?
Casual/Comfort Foods: Even the most exclusive, high-end weddings enjoy a blend of “common comfort” for late night snacks such as a popcorn station, onion rings, french fries or even the increasingly popular food/snack “truck” for them to take a break from late night dancing with some comfort food. It gives the event a breather with an element of relaxed fun.
