Cool Catering Concepts

Looking for a way to bring some added flavor to your wedding catering? Take a cue from one of these ideas and give your guests something fun to talk about!

Infused Water Stations

These days, almost everyone is health conscious and staying hydrated throughout the blistering summer months is a necessity. Especially if you are planning an outdoor ceremony or anticipate your guests hours of dancing. Infused water stations are a great way to keep your guests refreshed and ready to dance the night away, especially if you are planning an outdoor ceremony or anticipate a lot of dance floor action. We illuminate ours to make for a great display and feature flavors including cucumber strawberry, citrus, and mixed berry.

It’s A Gas

A food trend among restaurants and catering companies throughout the country is liquid nitrogen-infused cuisine. At a recent cocktail reception, Continental “Divine” Catering butlered liquid nitrogen infused kettle corn in plastic champagne flutes with caramel and chocolate drizzle. When guests took a bite, a cool mist emerged from their mouths, eliciting laughter, intrigue, and delight. Liquid nitrogen can be an inventive, unexpected way to rev up simple classics.

Ready, Aim… Fire

Downtown lofts don’t have to be the only things getting industrial makeovers–your hors d’oeuvres station can, too. At a recent event, we outfitted our staff in a welding masks, used metal sheeting as tabletops, and fired up brûlée torches to give each appetizing bite a touch of warmth.

Mini Dessert Bites

The cake or cupcakes are a part of weddings that most guests look forward to. However, if you’ve got a large crowd at your reception and are looking for an additional way to delight your guests, think small. In the catering world, miniature confections are “in” and mini desserts are even bigger! Some great examples we’ve created lately are mini gourmet doughnuts showcased in an antique dresser drawer, colorful mini macaroons, and mini cheesecake bites lined on glass shelves.
