Top 5 F&B Trends for 2025!

This year, Ridgewells is embracing a blend of vibrant, interactive, and bold trends to elevate weddings and events in 2025.

Here are the top 5 trends from Ridgewells Catering:

Wellness

In recent years, the emphasis on health and wellness has been growing, and Ridgewells is here for it! Their culinary team has put their own spin on the trend, reimagining wellness by curating farmer’s market-themed galas, interactive non-alcoholic drink stations, and healthy (but yummy) bites like mini avocado toasts topped with fresh jammy eggs.

For the 2024 U.S. Open Golf Championship, they served up healthy options in the 1895 Club, including mini smoothies, an assortment of sushi, and the freshest East coast seafood!

Roaming Stations

The more engagement and connection with guests, the better! Ridgewells introduced their new "Cannoli Bar" late last year, and the station has quickly become a guest favorite. Who wouldn't love a delicious cannoli made right in front of their eyes? Plus, a little branding flair on the roaming stations never hurts!

Made-to-Order

Fresh pasta? Yes, Please! Ridgewells takes pride in crafting unique made-to-order stations that not only allow chefs and staff to connect with the guests, but also serve delcious, freshly prepared dishes right in front of them for an extra touch of hospitalty. The look on the wedding guest's face below says it all!

Table-Side Service

Is there anything better than fresh soup? Ridgewells doesn't think so. They've made it a signature part of their first-course service, and guests love it! There's something truly special about table-side service that elevates the hospitality at an event or wedding. Expect to see a lot more of this in 2025!

Mini Everything

It's no secret that guests gush over anything and everything mini, and Ridgewells has taken this trend to a whole new level. In addition to serving the cutest mini desserts at wedding receptions, they also went all out by creating mini egg dishes served in actual mini cast iron pans for a gala last year! Stay tuned to see what creative mini bites they come up with for 2025 events.
