It’s holiday time and as tempting as it may be to pull out all the stops when it comes to creating the ultimate savory celebration, you do have to contend with that awful thing known as a budget. Employing smart strategies for making the most of your money is what experts like Jennifer Christenson, Catering Sales Manager at Mystic Lake Casino Hotel in Prior Lake, MN, specialize in.
A. I head up the catering sales team for Mystic Lake Casino Hotel. We specialize in creating meetings and events that embrace the five senses. In this way, we can generate impactful “memory” moments.
A. Typically, proteins and unlimited hosted alcohol service.
A. I wouldn't eliminate. Instead, I would focus my dollars towards “statement elements” throughout the event. For example, a steak and lobster dual entrée communicates an expensive statement, but does not create the unexpected. However, a statement salad starter course (designed to complement the message of the event) paired with a single protein entrée (something different and unique) with an interactive dessert experience at the finish, will make the meal an impactful one, and is far more affordable than steak and lobster.
A. Don’t go it alone. Let the catering, culinary and banquet teams help you plan a wonderful experience!
A. Don't just plan a menu. Create an experience that is purposeful in its design and execution.
