Cocktail Party Catering: 3 Ways to Charm Your Guests

If the oncoming season has you thinking about hosting a cocktail party, but you’re not sure where to start, here are 3 aspects you absolutely need. Shirley’s Catering also provides top-notch cocktail parting services that can reduce your stress so you can enjoy the soiree with your guests.

1. Provide Swelligant Beverages

Having an experienced mixologist on hand to whip up conversation-starting beverages is absolutely essential. Our cocktail party catering services include all the basics of a fully-stocked bar, along with several fantastic non-alcoholic beverage recipes for the designated drivers at the party.

2. Arrange a Tasty Finger Food Menu

Cocktails go hand-in-hand with delicious appetizers and hors d’oeuvres. Make sure to tailor the hors d’ oeuvres menu on hand to the tastes of your guests to maximize their enjoyment. That means knowing about their dietary needs and selecting a menu that is exotic and tasty at the same time. If you need suggestions, Shirley’s Catering has hundreds!

3. Select a Theme

This is one of the most fun aspects of staging a cocktail party! Sure, you can keep it all low key, but consider the decorating, costume and music possibilities of a tiki-room theme, a 60’s international spy theme, an elegant Breakfast at Tiffany’s soiree, a space-age bachelor pad thing or even a Game of Thrones celebration. Anything goes! Check out our gallery for some possible theme ideas. And we can help with the décor and staging to make it cozy and fun from beginning to end.
