But what changes every year are the ways in which the events and dinings are held. For starters, don’t blink! There is a constant evaluation in the catering trend in which corporate and private events are held to find the perfect formula.

To succeed, you need to be dynamic, flexible and be open to all potential trends. Especially for the event planners and caterers, all this is like looking into the crystal ball to win the race of these new trends in event management.

Below mentioned are some of the most in-trend event planning and catering ideas that can take the event management industry by storm in the year 2020.

Bringing the Outdoors, Indoors!

The Interior plays a vital role, as it sets the mood of the event. And, setting a nature alike ambiance is a 2020 sensory altering trend. Bringing the plants, outdoor furniture, greenery, fountain to set an indoor event environment, with the subtle sound setting the mood as themed, or the fresh scent of beachy salt or wintery birth or tobacco would set the soothing, pleasant and perfect mood for the event.

Under the Stars

The magic is under the stars cannot be described in words, it can only be felt. If you have got a place like a big lawn or a big garden that can accommodate 50-200 people, you are good to go. Setting a barbeque or a banquet, adding comfortable seating and good music, be it for a personal event like wedding dinner, the birthday celebration of family/friends together, planning the evening under the stars would offer you a break from the usual and get you a different and gratifying experience.

Sustainable and Eco-friendly

A sustainable event practice is a new trend that is rising and glowing in the year 2020. Discarding the use of plastic, straw, bottles, or other non-essential items at the event and replace the same with eco-friendly options. Being environmentally friendly is considered to be one of the most crucial factors even when hiring catering services. Several caters are reaching out to get the green certification and are exhibiting the sustainable practices they perform on their websites as this is what’s the need of the day, for today and better tomorrow.

Experimental Interaction

One of the most evolving trends of 2020 in the event industry is the experimental interaction with the guests. There are several innovative, engaging and exciting ways with which you can interact with your attendees. Some of them are as follows:

Workshops: Where your attendees can engage themselves in some fun and creative opportunities and activities throughout to enjoy themselves. Especially for the attendees at a corporate event for better interaction and industry connections.

Champagne Hand Wall: A creative way of offering the welcome drink to the guest as they arrive at the event. A wall holding out the champagne glasses (or other offerings like interactive cocktails) with gloved hands with curtained squares for the guests to take as they walk up or by.

Augmented Reality vs Virtual Reality on events: AR can be enabled in your smartphones and can also be live in the real world accompanied by a sound or an image. VR totally douses the viewer in a distinct reality and needs more gear. By digging deep into AR and or taking expert assistance, event planners can add a new proportion of creativity and experience.
