Factors to Consider When Planning an Event Menu
Before creating an enticing, delectable menu for your special event, there are “business” factors to consider that will play into what we design:
- Event type: Menus will differ for weddings, corporate events, private parties, cocktail-style events, and child and adult birthday parties.
- Preferred service style: Depending on the host’s preferences, menus can be designed as buffet style, plated meals, family style dining, finger foods, or multicourse meals.
- Budget: The budget for food and drinks is a key factor in menu design.
- Time: Menus will be different for morning versus nighttime events, as well as based on the event’s timeline. How much time is dedicated to dining?
- Venue logistics: Venue space for food presentation, cooking options, and food storage is also a key factor.
- Dietary restrictions: Do any of the guests have severe allergies to any types of food? If so, we can work around those items or omit them completely to keep everyone safe.
What Are Custom Menus Based On?
Custom menus can be based on any number of things, but the key focus will always be the preferences of the guests of honor. When discussing menu design, questions to consider include:
- What are your family’s cultural backgrounds, traditions, or culture-based dining styles?
- What is the guest(s) of honor’s favorite ingredients?
- What is the style/theme of the event? Black tie? Beach inspired? Rustic and woodsy? Casual or fancy?
- Are there favorite family or personal recipes the guests want to include?
- Are there specific memories the guests want to evoke or remember with the dining experience?
- Should the dishes be inspired by the location of the event?
