Events are a way for people to get together, celebrate, and foster a sense of community. From workplace conferences to a family reunion to a couple having a wedding, events are the perfect opportunity for creating social togetherness. Creating that atmosphere involves careful planning and having the right equipment.
Events - Where We Were And Where We're Headed
For many people, weddings and party events have been put on hold due to Covid restrictions. Now that restrictions have been lifted, we're beginning to see a revitalization of the event and hospitality industry. Weddings, parties, and work conferences are back on the rise, and so is event planning for these occasions.
However, the recent boom in events comes with a new set of problems. One major setback has been a rise in event prices. Some of it is due to economic inflation, but another explanation is an increasingly high demand at venues. Prices have become more competitive alongside the demand for a multi-sensory experience.
Food That Tells A Story
Regardless of whether you decide to throw an expensive party or keep the event affordably small, there are still plenty of options to choose from when planning an event. Part of the fun is organizing what goes into this process. Event decisions include venue location. Which could be outdoor patios, indoor hotels, restaurants, or conference halls. Music and entertainment selections are often a big part of enlivening the night, as are the guest invitations, the event's decor, and the variety of beverages that get served.
For many, though, the most important aspect of an event is the food. This is where action centers come in handy. Used as locations to showcase the food, action centers also are a form of theater to entertain and showcase a chef's talent. Many think of a carving station when imaging an action center. But it can also mean a cooking station located in the open.
Using an Evo Centric allows guests to watch chefs prepare meals right in front of guests. Able to cook proteins, vegetables, and desserts, it's a great way to involve food in an event.
Other Event Venue Solutions
In addition to food, there are other aspects of the venue that are just as important to focus on to make sure guests are comfortable. With rails to hold bottles, ice bins, and storage, the Lakeside portable bar allows facilities to bring drinks anywhere they're needed, indoors or outdoors. Cooking back-of-house calls for an oven that can cook a variety of different menu items. The Imperial Convection Oven offers cook 'n hold options, programmable menu controls, and five oven racks to cook large quantities of food for events.
