Top Catering Trends to Watch This Summer
Top Catering Trends to Watch This Summer: The Ultimate Summer Party Planner Presented by Innovative Catering Concepts
Summer is here—and with it comes a season full of sun-soaked celebrations, outdoor weddings, backyard gatherings, and unforgettable events. At Innovative Catering Concepts, we’re always ahead of the curve, crafting experiences that taste as good as they look. Whether you’re planning an intimate garden party or a large-scale bash, here are the top catering trends we’re serving up this summer.
1. Interactive Food Stations
From DIY taco bars to custom pasta stations, interactive food experiences are a major hit. At Innovative Catering Concepts, we create stations that double as entertainment, inviting guests to build their perfect bite while sparking conversation and creativity.
2. Global Flavors, Locally Sourced
We’re infusing global inspiration into every menu—think jerk chicken sliders, Korean BBQ skewers, and Mediterranean spreads—all crafted with locally sourced, in-season ingredients. It’s a flavorful journey with a fresh, sustainable twist.
3. Upscale Picnic Fare
Elevated comfort foods are trending. Our gourmet picnic menus include everything from lobster rolls and artisanal cheeses to truffle mac and cheese and mini pies—all packaged beautifully for your outdoor affair.
4. Sustainable + Stylish
Sustainability is more than a buzzword—it’s a priority. We use compostable serveware, practice waste reduction, and design menus that highlight seasonal produce, all while delivering the high-end look and taste your event deserves.
5. Signature Sips & Craft Mocktails
We’re mixing up more than just cocktails. Our craft mocktails—like strawberry basil coolers and lavender lemon spritzers—are refreshing, inclusive, and made with fresh, house-infused ingredients that wow with every pour.
6. Mobile Catering + Food Truck Fun
Want to keep it cool and casual? Our food truck offerings bring the party to you, serving gourmet street food that guests crave—perfect for festivals, outdoor receptions, or summer corporate events.
7. Mini Bites, Major Flavor
Bite-sized everything is in. From mini tacos to single-serve charcuterie cups, our small plate options make mingling easy and allow guests to sample a little bit of everything.
8. Botanical-Inspired Presentation
We believe every plate should look as good as it tastes. Expect edible flowers, fresh herbs, and garden-fresh garnishes that transform your table into a vibrant, Insta-worthy display.
