Planning An Event

Things are going to be pretty busy this week! We will be catering two business luncheons, one Bat Mitzvah, and a martini party, not to mention a few other small events. I will be sure to post up some pictures so everyone can see how they went!

As a catering company our areas of expertise are cuisine and food service. We have the capabilities to provide everything from basic buffet service to elaborate plated meals. Tell us what you want and we'll make it happen!

But what about when it comes to all of the other aspects of the event? Coordination? Decor? This is where an event planner comes in.

A hot topic I have come across again and again as a caterer is the topic of party planning. Unfortunately when people are trying to cut costs when planning an event they often start by cutting the planner. Coordinating an entire event couldn't be that hard, right?! Wrong. Coordinating every aspect of an event can be extremely challenging.  In the end, an event planner is worth their weight in gold! Leave it up to a planner to worry about the details while you sit back, relax, and enjoy yourself!

The other week I went to a networking event and had the pleasure of meeting a great planner named Ingrid Wiggberg. We met for coffee last week which I greatly enjoyed. Who doesn't love an excuse to drink coffee? Ingrid Wiggberg, the founder of The Party Makers, really helped give me some insight into event planning. I always knew that planners were a vital aspect to any event, and she definitely reaffirmed that for me. If you're in the process of planning an event definitely check out her website. Not only is she a great planner, but she is also a great person. Now that's a good combination!

And because every blog is better with a picture.....

The macaron...no, not macaroon. The macaron is quickly muscling in and becoming the next trend in sweets. Say goodbye to the cutesy cupcake and hello to these delicious colorful creations. I can't think of a better way to carry a color theme throughout an event. Give us a call to see how these fun little confections can be integrated into your next event!
