Creating a Memorable Food Experience: Tips for Catered Events
Jul 12, 2023

Some of us eat with our eyes and with a good spread will only be a good experience. Design and layout, structure and flow can turn an average experience into a luxurious buffet-level affair.


Levels on Levels

Implementing something as simple as decorations organises food displays while optimising the use of limited space without having an overwhelming amount of food. The use of cake tables and platters to store baked goods gives height and dimensions, as well as vases full of flowers to give more life to the selection or even labelling the items with decorative cards for guests with dietary requirements ranging from vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and low gluten. Additionally, including miniature-themed toppers to create appeal and differentiate between eating styles. In turn, guests can navigate the food offers efficiently and reduce congestion at the serving table through a visually enhancing experience.

Interactive Experiences

Indulging in a luxurious experience involves various meal options and many ways to present the dishes best. For a touch of decadence, invest in a chocolate foundation because who doesn't love tempered chocolate and an array of dipping options for your childhood self to be ecstatic over? Or a grand display of a self-serve buffet with every cuisine available to satisfy taste preferences. Alternatively, finger foods are a hit as they offer convenience and are provided in single servings allowing you to create your own palette.

Consider Dietary Requirements Respecting guests' food preferences creates an inclusive environment and understanding of allergies, intolerances as well as religious dietary considerations to choose the best catering option. Separation of the food array best allows guests to eat freely without fear of food contamination and limiting meal options. Consider using fresh product based on seasonality to ensure strong flavours and high-quality dishes. St Laurent offers a plethora of catering options that take into account vegan , vegetarian , dairy-free and low-gluten eaters without sacrificing delicious flavours. Choose which Convenience Best Compliments the Event Creating the perfect event involves curating the perfect menu to go along with it. Avoid larger meals and opt for finger foods when kids make up a large part of the guest list. In contrast, the buffet style is a hit amongst corporate parties for people to take what they need and avoid food wastage. Networking events tend to cater for mess-free options like arancini balls, our Finger Sandwiches and fried appetisers by avoiding soupy dumplings and frosted cupcakes.
