Every time we think about food to enjoy at an event hall, we picture a long buffet line, right? And although that is a great option for a large party, there are other ways to introduce food into your event. Let’s take a look at a few:

Brunch: the Best of Both Worlds

If you are planning an event like a baby shower, bridal shower, birthday celebration, or even a wedding, you could consider this trend that has swept the world in the last few years. A brunch combines the best parts of the recipes, usually divided between breakfast and lunch, and we are able to create a party that generally starts at 10:00am and go on until the afternoon in a casual and relaxed environment.

More than a Coffee

If you are organizing something a bit more formal, like a business meeting, how about taking the classic coffee and biscuits to another level? Planning more nutritious and elaborate snacks for meetings and congresses is key to make the attendees happy and full of energy.

What Kind of Diner?

For large events such as weddings, graduations, anniversaries or quinceañera parties, diner is one of the most expected elements by the guests when arriving at the party hall. But, how will you serve it? If we are talking about a reasonable number of guests, serving at the table is generally more elegant and efficient cost wise. And if we are talking about large number of guests, the buffet is always an excellent choice.

The Food Truck Craze

Surely you have seen them at any mass event that you have attended: Food trucks with all types of food available for you to choose your favorite. This is a great option for concerts, fairs, and expositions.

Take into Consideration all the Possible Diet Restrictions

Nowadays, the food options that we offer at our event halls must always include, or at least when possible, vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options.

At the Centro de Convenciones de Costa Rica, we have a gastronomical team ready to take your ideas to the next level in the party hall. . Have you seen our gastronomic offer? You can check it out here: https://es.calameo.com/read/005946579afea10557b23?page=1

The time of the year has come when celebrating is the #1 priority in almost everyone’s agendas, and that also means that it is time to celebrate with your coworkers for a year of hard work.

Corporate parties are expected by most, and we must make sure that when arriving at the event hall, the time is special and memorable for all.

That is why today we have for you some tips to organize an impeccable celebration.

Choose the type of event

This does not necessarily have to be the traditional evening party (although this format is always valid); you can also think of activities less common like a brunch or a lunch with cocktails in the afternoon. This decision is the first step for you to start planning an event calmly and with a defined set of priorities.

Gather a team

Meet with coworkers who have similar aptitudes to help you with logistics, design, decoration, and even creativity to plan different activities to surprise the party guests.

Choose a place

A great event hall is one that manages to adapt to the needs of the different types of parties that it hosts, that is why you should keep in mind these elements when asking for a quote: does it offer technological facilities? Does it offer its own food service? Etc.

Food and beverages

Here we have a few important decisions to make: will we offer a full meal or will we offer a variety of snacks? This depends on the level of formality of the event.

The same happens with the beverages; it is always good to stop and think about what kind of liquors we will offer. If we are talking about a formal evening, a good selection of wines is enough, but if we are talking about a more dynamic ambience, we must decide the quantity and types of liquor to create that delicate balance.

Schedule acknowledgements and speeches

This is basic, but we must always find a moment in the itinerary for the leaders of the company to thank the employees and give special recognitions to people who has stood out throughout the work year.

Don’t forget the music

Whether it is a live band or a DJ, music is crucial in any party hall. Choose wisely, it must liven everybody up!

These are our basic tips for you to organize an unforgettable celebration for your coworkers and employees.

Remember that at the Centro de Convenciones de Costa Rica we not only have versatile spaces but also top-quality food, beverages services, technological facilities, and, above all, complete assistance. Let’s talk!

The best drink according to your event

Besides the food, the organization, and the decoration, one of the most important elements in any Social or Corporate Event are the drinks. Every specific event has drinks that are associated to them, and that is why we are highlighting some important details that you can take into consideration when planning your next activity.

-Meetings, Talks, or Morning Events

In this case, the predominant beverages are many people’s favorites in the mornings: coffee and orange juice. Bust just because they are traditional beverages it does not mean that we cannot innovate or be creative in the Event Hall; we can use different methods of preparation – in the case of coffee – or add other ingredients to the juice so that your guests will definitely notice and remember it.

–Social Events

For weddings, graduations, anniversaries, etc., choosing the drinks is highly important to keep the party hall cheerful. It is all about finding a balance between alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages: this will always depend on who is organizing the party. Sometimes, some prefer to focus on a good selection of wines, while others seize the opportunity to explore different types of ingredients and liquors by creating original cocktails for the occasion. And while carbonated drinks are the common solution for the non-alcoholic beverages, it is also a great opportunity to get creative!

–The Boom of New Beverages (Non-Alcoholic)

The last point takes us to this section: the new wave of non-alcoholic beverages that is popular thanks to the wellness tendency. Fermented ingredients like kombucha or classic like coconut water are mixed with other flavors to create new types of beverages that will cautivate your guests without the need of alcohol.

So now you know, if you are organizing a Party, Talk, or Meeting, don’t forget to carefully choose your drinks! This can be the detail that makes your guests have an unforgettable experience at the Event Hall. Ask us for a quote here to create a unique food and beverages plan.
