How many times have you attended an event and the only thing that you could think of throughout the duration is when you will finally get the chance to eat? When guests start having questions about food at a corporate event, it means that their focus is being shifted from the goal at hand which is to create relationships and advance company goals.
Food has the ability to make or break your event and is undoubtedly one of the most important aspects of any event. Even the most well-thought-out, beautifully designed, and intricate event can be stripped of all its wonder if the clients are not enjoying the food.
Offering messy, sticky ribs during a black-tie event designed for your client and their VIP guests or supplying appetizers and snacks when guests are expecting a full-course meal could be the difference between your clients securing a follow-up meeting with VIP prospects or closing a long-term deal.
These corporate event culinary mistakes can all be avoided by consulting experts in the event-planning industry like Best.Day.Ever. With decades of experience in planning, executing, and optimizing a wide array of events, rest assured that Best.Day.Ever. will make the food a highlight and complementing characteristic of the overall event experience.
Through personalized and targeted consultation sessions with Best.Day.Ever.’s industry experts, we will curate a customized catering plan that will leave guests full, satisfied, and leaving the event with a great taste in their mouth––literally.
While the food itself is paramount, the experience that accompanies how guests ultimately receive the food is also of the utmost importance. Good food fosters good conversation, and the goal of any event is enhanced networking. Best.Day.Ever. has knowledge and access to a portfolio of the hottest new venues which provide the ultimate ambiance, culinary experience, and premium beverage packages that set the tone for the night.
For example, hosting an event at a Michelin Star restaurant with best-in-class service can display your company’s dedication to excellence and willingness to go above and beyond for its customers.
Other events may call for more interactive, self-serve food stations with activations accompanying the delicious food. For example, an outdoor event could have an activation where guests can pour their own drinks from a tap built into a van.
Multiple stations like this for food, drinks, snacks, and gifts make the overall culinary experience almost like a game which will spur conversation and kindle relationships that could lead to future deals.
Other catering options can include having an intimate gathering with a private chef that allows for interactive questions, live demonstrations, and purposeful conversations that can bring people together. Furthermore, the celebrity chefs are experts in engaging guests and making sure that everyone can contribute to the meal that will be shared later in the event.
Celebrity chefs understand that their role is not just to create an incredible meal, but also to interact with guests and spur conversation among those watching them perform their craft. Best.Day.Ever. has industry-leading connections to the most desirable celebrity chefs in the world and can ensure they are a perfect fit for your event’s culinary needs.
Finally, Best.Day.Ever. can provide customized branded elements by placing your company’s logo on a variety of desserts or other decor opportunities. This provides the unique opportunity of combining your brand and the food itself into one seamless experience.
