Our Predicted Catering Trends in 2025

In 2025, we predict catering trends will be all about creating immersive, sustainable experiences that celebrate both flavor and eco-conscious choices.

At Mill District Event Spaces, we’re excited to partner with Umbra to offer a fully customizable catering service that embraces these trends, ensuring your event is as memorable as it is delicious.

Sustainability

More than ever, guests appreciate catering that values sustainability and reduces waste. Umbra is proud to source local ingredients for its curated menu. They can work with you to design menu options such as plant-based dishes to help reduce our environmental footprint while still delivering fresh, vibrant flavors.

Interactive Experiences

We’ve found that guests want to be part of the culinary experience. We can offer a variety of food stations and build-your-own options that add an interactive touch. Design a customized taco bar with a variety of fresh toppings, a cocktail station where each guest gets a drink tailored to their taste, or a gourmet dessert cart full of unique treats.

Globally Inspired Grazing Tables

Grazing tables are in, formal dinners are out. Guests can enjoy a leisurely and visually stunning spread that serves as a conversation and culinary centerpiece. Get inspired by flavors from around the world, such as Mediterranean-inspired platters featuring olives, roasted vegetables, and fresh cheeses.

Craft Beverages & Mocktails

Craft beverages are a must for any event, and with Umbra’s expertise, we offer a diverse array of drinks that cater to every guest’s preferences. We highly recommend you include thoughtfully crafted mocktails and non-alcoholic options so there is something for everyone. These one-of-a-kind drinks are created with high-quality ingredients to complete the perfect meal.

At Mill District Event Spaces, our partnership with Umbra means you’ll receive a fully customized catering service that reflects the latest trends and exceeds your event’s vision. Let’s create an unforgettable dining experience. Learn more or request more information here.
