As summer approaches, it’s the perfect time to gather with loved ones and celebrate life’s special moments. From intimate brunches for mom and the mom-to-be to graduation parties and summer BBQs, these seasons offer the ideal opportunities to create unforgettable memories.
At On the Vine Catering, we specialize in providing customized catering experiences for every type of event. Let’s dive into the top trends for this season’s events and how we can make your celebration truly unforgettable.
Spring Brunches
Spring is all about renewal, making it the perfect season for a brunch. It’s an ideal time to celebrate Mother’s Day, host a baby shower, or simply gather with friends. The beauty of a spring brunch lies in the abundance of seasonal produce like fresh fruits, pastries, and spring vegetables. For a truly special touch, host your brunch at a stunning venue like Nella Terra Cellars in Sunol, where the rolling vineyards and lush gardens provide the ideal backdrop.
To make the experience even more memorable, consider setting up a flower station where guests can build their own bouquets to take home. Whether you envision a light, casual spread or a more formal plated brunch, On the Vine Catering can design a menu that perfectly matches your event’s vibe.
Graduation Parties
Graduation season is one of the most exciting times of the year, offering a chance to celebrate your graduate’s accomplishments. Hosting a graduation party provides an opportunity to reflect on hard work and look forward to the future.
On the Vine Catering specializes in creating customized menus that capture the festive atmosphere of this important milestone. We work closely with you to design a menu that complements the excitement of the occasion.
