Notable Catering Trends in 2022 that You Need to Try
Each year it’s so exciting to see the new and emerging trends in the events industry. In December I wrote a blog post that summarized the trends from the events industry in 2021 (you can check it out here). This time around I decided I would share some of the catering trends that have gained popularity and perhaps one of these trends will be fun to implement into one of your upcoming events!
Pandemic-Friendly Food Serving
The first one is a little obvious, but due to the pandemic (I swear, I will try to say this word less and less), catering has had to become creative to share food and treats safely. This led to a huge increase in individually wrapped servings, but many catering companies made light of the situation and got crafty. Take a look at some of these awesome ideas:
I do predict moving forward that this trend is here to stick around. Whether you are catering your own event or hiring a catering company, don’t be scared to be creative and have fun with it. Give your guests something to talk about!
It’s All About the Flavor
In the past, when thinking of catering for large events, many planners tended to stick with the more conservative palette for flavor, but according to studies from recent years, guests love trying new and bold flavors. Your event isn’t just about being informative or celebrating, it’s about being memorable and most importantly creating an experience for your guest. By incorporating bold flavors you’re doing just that!
Alcoholic vs Non-Alcoholic Beverages
Depending on your event and audience, you may choose to incorporate alcoholic beverages. This isn’t anything new or memorable to note, but what is, is that more are choosing to not indulge in alcohol anymore. So they’re left with the option of ordering a water, soft drink, or coffee/tea. And guess what, that’s no fun. Consider asking your bar team to add in a few fun non-alcoholic beverages, mocktails. Looking for some inspiration? Check out these fun mocktail ideas!
Think Green
Moving into 2022 more individuals and organizations are moving towards becoming more green. This is great, however, it can pose a bit of a challenge and this may require you to be a bit more creative about your catering. So how can you move towards a more green-friendly option?
- Not using disposable plates, cutlery, or glassware
- Cloth napkins
- Responsible sourcing of ingredients
The key message from this blog that I would love for you to take away is, make your event an experience for your guest and I can assure you they will be returning in years to come. And of course, if you need help along your event journey, or perhaps you’re looking to pizazz things up a bit, Planit Events Inc. is here for you!
