2025 Event Food & Beverage Trends
When BizBash explored the top 10 food and beverage trends to watch in 2025, they asked event leaders across the country to weigh in—including me.
In a world that’s still finding its way back to connection, I spoke about the return of family-style dining as more than just a trend—it’s a reminder of what it means to gather meaningfully. Shared meals spark shared moments, and thoughtful planning creates space for both.
At SB Events, every detail—down to how a meal is served—is thoughtfully orchestrated to create space for human-centered impact.
“It seems the pandemic has reignited our desire for connection, and this style of dining—a stark contrast to COVID-era restrictions—reminds us of the joy in sharing a moment of togetherness.”
