Catering Trends: Stale v. Fresh

Mid-May and our team at AARON'S is as busy as ever! From Chefs for Seals to the BizBash Florida Expo, a bright Spring hints towards a promising Summer. With all this networking we have picked up on some hott, and some not, catering DOs and DON'Ts for Summer.

"I always try to use real glassware. It adds elegance and sophistication, all the while being green. Guests dressed to impress holding plastic cups does not go hand-in-hand."

Natalie Goebeler, Independent Planner

"Staying Eco-Friendly is important. If I already have a napkin, I don't need another one. I have left events with nearly 20 napkins shoved into my pockets."

Scott Galvin, City Councilman

"Caterers need to remember the golden rule. At a cocktail party food should be as one-handed as possible. Elaborate handheld presentations become a juggling act."

Katie Coffey, Crispin Porter + Bogusky

We are also excited about our first-ever Facebook Fan Appreciation Happy Hour. Kicking off Wednesday, May 19th at 6:30pm at BIN 18 Wine Bistro & Beer Loft in Downtown Miami. Check out our Facebook Page for details and the opportunity to RSVP.
