Insta-worthy displays

If you’re looking for a standout moment that will leave guests ’gramming, hire a catering team with seriously creative display techniques.

If you’ve already nailed down your own catering team, infuse your day with a little bit of that magic by dreaming up creative ways to package or pass some of your bites, like a pegboard wall of pizza slices or a late-night burger bar with a sign that reads “friends don’t let friends go home hangry.”
