What’s an interactive cocktail and how can you serve them?
There’s something about a cocktail bar that gathers folk together. So it makes sense to consider the making of cocktails at your next catered event as much entertainment as thirst-quencher. Naturally, you can theme your drinks around your event, from naming the drinks to how they are served. And of course, you can also offer […]
Leaning into macro trends
The last couple of years has opened the door to an unprecedented surge of changes. We’ve all had to adapt along the way as we note the seismic changes all around us.

Why we can’t get enough of appetizers!
Once upon a party, a small dish of some sort of light food served before dinner was considered a must.

Lighting and sound design play vital roles at parties
You’ve noticed that the world is filled with introverts and extraverts, right? It takes both types of folks to keep any kind of event balanced. Same is true for lighting and sound design.
