2022 Orange County Wedding Reception Catering Trends
Planning your dream wedding is never easy. There are invitations to organize, venues to book, and a wide variety of obstacles to navigate. Today alongside those familiar challenges, you must balance hosting a fun celebration with keeping your guests safe and comfortable. You’re probably feeling a bit overwhelmed. So, take a deep breath, step away from your wedding binder, and let one Orange County wedding catering company show you how they do more than deliver a dynamic menu. They are also on top of the best 2022 wedding reception catering trends. Here are a few to consider.
Intimacy is the New Normal
In 2020, we put massive receptions with hundreds of guests in the rearview window. Today some brides and grooms want a huge event. Still, chances are if you’re planning your dream wedding it’s a more intimate gathering. Truth is celebrating your special day with your closest friends and family isn’t just more meaningful. It’s also very 2022.
Don’t worry. Trimming the guest list doesn’t mean trimming the elegance. Intimate luxury is another one of 2022’s wedding day catering trends. Taylor Made Cuisine has not only been helping happy couples in Irvine, Newport Beach, and Costa Mesa celebrate their special day but they know how to deliver five-star service and refined luxury.
Family Style Dinner Service
Truly the best of both worlds! In the past, wedding catering often meant choosing between an elegant sit-down dinner or a fill-your-own-plate buffet. One of 2022’s hottest OC wedding reception catering trends is the family style dinner service. Not only does it accommodate guests who’d rather not schlep their own meals but Taylor Made Cuisine’s stylish servers will be delivering mouthwatering delights designed for sharing. You could enjoy an opener of prosciutto skewers or conclude the event with chocolate mousse cups. The best part of family style dinner service is that it encourages mingling. Your family will reconnect even as strangers become friends.
Attended Buffets
Of course buffets haven’t disappeared. They’ve just changed their approach. Taylor Made Cuisine’s years of experience as a full-service catering company means they know how to handle seamless set-up and safe serving. That means even if there’s a buffet the well-trained staff will be putting the food on your plate and delivering your drinks.
Signature Cocktails
The best wedding day catering always brings a bit of fun and whimsy to the party. That’s why signature cocktails are a welcome addition to any list of reception trends. Whether it’s a favorite drink or one designed for the occasion, Taylor Made Cuisine has helped guests in Irvine, Newport, and Costa Mesa make a memorable toast. Even cooler, some couples are ordering exclusive drinks in cans or bottles with a monogram –– talk about one of a kind!
Plant-Based Options
This last one is hardly a trend. If you want to include everyone, don’t forget to have options for the non-meat eaters on your invite list. Wedding day catering should have something for everyone. Fortunately, Taylor Made Cuisine’s years of experience making delicious dishes for vegans, vegetarians, and a wide variety of other eating styles means they can craft a savory meal that satisfies both friends and family. Their plant-based menu items are made with locally sourced, fresh ingredients.
