The Best Tips from Aurora for Planning this Season

BY: Dawn Deardorf, Aurora Catering
Spring is here, and that means it’s time to celebrate! Whether you’re planning a graduation party, anniversary gathering, or a company picnic, we’re here to make sure it’s effortless, delicious, and unforgettable. Here are some tips to help you throw an amazing spring event: 🌿 Pick a Theme – A great party starts with a great theme! Whether it’s a Mediterranean toga party, a 70’s disco party with retro food, Old Hollywood glamour with classic canapes or a Wild West BBQ, we have the perfect menu options to match your vision. 📍 Choose the Right Setting – Consider your guests’ comfort in fitting in the space. Think about parking, transportation & accessibility. Are there enough restrooms? Are they well kept? Is there a kitchen or a food prep space? Budget is always key in venue rentals – how much does the venue provide with the rental? Do you need to rent tables & chairs? Will the venue be flexible with timing if you need rentals delivered? Is it okay to serve alcohol? Aurora is here to help you with any of these questions. 🍽  Make It Interactive – Keep guests engaged with our fun chef stations! From a Grilled Cheese Bar to a Slider Station, these setups turn dining into an experience. 🥤 Stay Cool & Refreshed – Warm spring days call for refreshing drinks. Our Chef-Infused Sparkling Water and Lemonade Dispensers add a refreshing touch to your beverage service. 🥗  Cater to All Tastes – Your guests have different dietary needs, and we’ve got them covered! Choose from our vegan, gluten-free, and vegetarian options so everyone can enjoy the celebration. 🍢  Encourage Mingling – Set the tone for a lively gathering with beautiful Stationary Appetizer Boards or Passed Appetizers, perfect for keeping guests moving and socializing. 🍓  End on a Sweet Note – No party is complete without dessert! Treat your guests to Mini Custard Tarts with fresh fruit or our “world famous” Triple Chocolate Brownies for a refreshing finale. Make this spring season one to remember—delicious food, great company, and effortless hosting! Reach out to us at Aurora, and we’ll take care of you. 🌷
