From a culinary standpoint, it is a pretty exciting time to be in the event industry. There are so many options and creative ways to present food to guests.
Captivating the guests’ attention is the goal, first visually and then by delivering a flavorful punch. So how do you present a menu that will keep your guests talking?
Innovative food stations are still on the uptrend. However, creating food stations with authentic global flavors kicks these food stations up a notch. We can no longer present a “fancy buffet” and get away with calling it a food station. Guests are more adventurous with their willingness to try different cuisine and they are more educated than ever about cuisine.
W&W Catering and Events strives to creative innovative stations that appeal to a wide audience. Our YumYum Rice Bowl Station always gets “oohs and ahs” because the station itself is attention-grabbing, followed up with fare that fulfills the promise of tasty food.
Or wow the guests with Into the Garden … what can be more boring than a crudité platter, right? Wrong! Presentation is everything with this station as a wide variety of vegetables are buried in edible dirt.
Miniature desserts allow you to offer a wide variety of options to guests by mixing and matching a ton of flavors. Inherently, desserts are pretty, so presenting the desserts in a variety of vessels and serve ware allows for endless station options. Based on color, scheme, or shapes, this is a station for some serious fun.
Borrowing from the restaurant industry, craft cocktail stations are becoming mainstream. However, balancing timely service and signature tastes can be tricky. Limit your craft cocktail station to one or two cocktails and set separately from your other beverage service.
