Bon Appetit!

Having catered food at an event is one of the most expensive & memorial aspects of the night, so it needs to be illuminated…with proper lighting. But there is an oxymoron here. Most of the time, you want to create an environment/ ambiance so the room is on the darker side; but no one likes to eat in the dark. If it is dark people won’t be able to see the amazing cuisine you paid big bucks for and therefore won’t eat it. But yet if the room is too light, people won’t dance and the overall look of the room won’t be as impactful. 

What we suggest… using spotlights, hanging the fixtures from the ceiling or truss to shine directly down on the food. Using colored lighting on food can make it more appeal and appetizing. Light colors like a soft pink or icy blue are great colors to really make the food “pop”. However, experts suggest staying away from heavy colors like red, yellow and green; such colors tend to make the food look dull and unappealing.
