How to make your palate-perfect buffet, picture-perfect

Written by Catersmith | 30 June 2017

Events aren’t solely about the food: the experience matters just as much. That’s why we at Catersmith have introduced custom buffet décor to our menu.

We understand, couples are really looking to create beautiful wedding day memories; parents, a colourful party for the little ones; and corporations, a memorable branding experience.

With bespoke décor themes, your buffet line will satisfy your appetite for both sumptuous dishes and Instagram likes.

Here’s how we’ve tailored the buffet lines of some of our customers according to their theme:

1. National Book Development Council's Asian Festival of Children Content Indonesian Night

For their dinner event, we took guests on a trip down memory lane. Nostalgic delicacies like Gado Gado and Chendol were served in a kampong-themed setting, complete with biscuit tins, feather dusters, and other items from the good ol’ days.

The dinner brought back lovely memories of their grannies and childhood days for some aunties, who didn’t hesitate to rave about it.

 

The unique flavours of Indonesian cuisine was brought out with dishes like Ayam Masak Merah and Gado Gado.

 

2. Banyan Tree's Lunar New Year Company Reunion Dinner

We brought the rooster theme to life through the auspicious colours of pink, red and gold. Decorated with paper tassels, Chinese cut-outs of roosters, pink and gold peonies and cherry blossoms, the festive mood was strong! With the enlivened atmosphere, it was easy for the Banyan Tree team to mingle and bond.

We’ve also partnered with boutique art studio Ektory to help customers add a craftsman touch to their decor. An eclectic team of artisans, Ektory creates handcrafted paper flower décor to elevate weddings and corporate events. For Ektory’s founder Dawn Koh, it’s about coming together with Catersmith to create an all-rounded, seamless dining experience – inspired by the customers themselves.

Ektory has created two exclusive décor themes for Catersmith’s buffet lines, with prices starting from $350.

 

Romantic Roses  - Shades of pink, peach and cream flowers in classic silver jars for a classic and timeless look

 

 

Curious Garden - An eclectic medley of flowers for a touch of whimsy and fun

 

These packages – as well as our packages for baby showers and 1st birthday parties – can be easily added on while making your order on the Catersmith website.
