The
biggest trend hitting the Tri-Cities market this year? Food stations. More and
more people are wanting their guests to get up and socialize! Food stations
allow for more guest interaction and small plates allow for you to taste a wide
range of foods. Definitely not the same old meat and potatoes!

For
Shanna and Garner Alzheimer, that’s exactly what they did. “We wanted to do
something different that reflected more of who we are and what we like. We both
love traveling and wanted to showcase all the places that were special to us.
Each item reflected a country we had traveled to.” They celebrated their
wedding at the Promise Gardens in Pasco, WA.

There
are so many options when it comes to showing off who you are- taco stations,
pasta stations, or having a local food truck pull right up to the patio! The
options are really endless and totally fun!

Another
trend hitting the Tri-Cities market? Locally sourced and seasonal produce.
People are craving fresh and care more than ever about where their food comes
from. Let’s be honest, it just tastes better! Our chefs here at Castle Event
Catering love utilizing our fresh produce and herbs right in our back yard. It’s
something we really care about.

Late
night snacks for late night events, especially when drinks are involved are
really gaining more and more attention. Offering a small snack once dancing has
started will make for a happy crowd! Don’t limit yourself just to fries though-
milkshakes, warm cookies, or fresh mini doughnuts are yummy too!

Something
guests will remember? How you made them feel. Food makes us feel good. It
floods us with memories and feelings. Like when you caught your first fish with
your dad or the smell of your mom’s poppy seed bread on Christmas morning.
Caterers want to create a menu that will tell your story. We want your menu to
be a reflection of who you are or what you’re trying to say. Share with us
those small details about the event that make you unique. Your event should always
be a reflection of you, and that’s something that’s never going out of style.
~Cheers!
