choice, and it’s your group.”
While there are differences between
home parties and office events, bringing in
a caterer allows organizers to play host and
enjoy the festivities.
“Social events are more family oriented. You don’t have to be as concerned
with everyone’s needs, necessarily. It’s your
party,” Pressman says.
When working a party in someone’s
home, Pressman says he is a big believer
that the home should stay that way. The
catering team tries to be as nondescript as
possible, which means he likes his team
to operate out of areas that won’t be used
during a party, such as a garage or workshop. That way, the house can still function
as a home and an entertainment space.
However, if a non-interior room is where the
catering crew sets up, Pressman says it’s
important to have heat in that area, not only
for the comfort of the crew, but also to make
sure the food doesn’t get too cold before
being served to guests.
“This frees up your house and frees up
the kitchen for bar, beverage or buffet,”
Pressman says.
Popular menu items this year include
raw bars with shrimp and oysters, and popular pastries, such as croquembouche and
bûche de Noël. Nonalcoholic beverages and
mocktails have become popular to serve, as
are seasonal flavors, such as blood orange
and cranberries.
Piette notes that she and her colleagues
can arrange an entire event, including food,
decorations and more.
“We’re your one-stop shop,” she says.
However, if you’re looking to hire a
caterer for a holiday event, Piette says it’s
important to go ahead and get things lined
up, especially if you’re still searching for a
space to host the occasion. Those clients
who are looking for venues to hold their parties are competing for these spaces due to
the demand, Piette says. Many companies
are now planning their holiday events in the
spring just to make sure they can get the
space they want, she adds.
“I’m already getting calls for 2025,”
Pressman says.
