As the days grow longer and the temperatures rise, spring is the perfect season for outdoor events in the DC Metro and greater Philadelphia areas (and beyond). The possibilities for warm weather celebrations are endless, from corporate happy hours and networking mixers to birthday parties, bridal showers, and spring weddings. While sunshine creates a beautiful backdrop, it also requires smart outdoor event planning to keep your guests comfortable and your event running smoothly. That’s where Founding Farmers Co. Catering & Events, your trusted full service catering company, comes in.
Tip 1: Plan Your Spring Event Around the Weather
One of our top tips for planning a spring event: timing is everything. Consider scheduling your event for the late afternoon or early evening when the heat has started to dip. Make sure there’s ample shade, whether you use large umbrellas, stylish tents, or natural shade from trees. Keeping your guests out of direct sunlight enhances both comfort and enjoyment. Founding Farmers Co. Catering & Events can assist with event rentals and logistics coordination, ensuring your outdoor event setup is functional and visually appealing.
Tip 2: Serve a Fresh, Seasonal Catering Menu
Refreshing food and drink options are a must for any outdoor catering event. Our catering team crafts seasonal spring menus that are light, flavorful, and satisfying—from chilled appetizers and crisp salads to our signature beverages like house-made lemonade, iced teas, and craft cocktails using our own small-batch Founding Spirits. We also offer hydration stations with fruit-infused water and house-made sodas to keep everyone cool and refreshed. Every dish is made from scratch using the freshest high-quality ingredients, ensuring your guests can enjoy the true taste of spring.
Tip 3: Prioritize Guest Comfort and Atmosphere
For a memorable guest experience, the little touches go a long way. Think outdoor lounge seating, cooling fans or misters, sunscreen stations, and eco-friendly decor. Founding Farmers Co. Catering & Events offers comprehensive support for event planning, staffing, and day-of coordination, so your celebration feels seamless and special.
No matter the type of spring event – from garden party to corporate picnic – our team is ready to bring your vision to life. Let Founding Farmers Co. Catering & Events handle the details so you can focus on hosting a warm, welcoming event your guests will love.
