If you are starting to be fully immersed in the fun days of summer, why not throw a party! Whatever event you have in mind this summer, Ranch Events has what it takes to make your event one to remember. Here are four catering ideas that will make your next bash sparkle
Summer Refreshing Beverages:
The key to summer catering is to keep it fun, relaxed and refreshing. Whether you are planning a wedding reception, a birthday party or a corporate event, start with your beverage and work around that. Mojitos, margaritas, or daiquiris are always a fruity fun way to offset the hot days of summer. If you’re looking for a premade cocktail with nonalcoholic options, tea with fruit juices is a great mixture to quench the dog days of summer.

For those of you who are wondering what to plan on July 4th, Ranch Events has the answer!! One of the best things to do on the Fourth of July is to plan a BBQ. Nothing says summer holidays as a good old-fashioned BBQ and here are some tips for hosting a great 4th of July BBQ.
When it comes to food for a Fourth of July BBQ all you need to do is keep it simple and provide foods that are normally served at BBQ’s. Don’t worry about BBQing something that everybody is going to eat because most people will eat your classic BBQ foods, even kids. For meats, you should choose something simple like hamburgers, hot dogs, and ribs. For side dishes, you can have potato salad, macaroni salad or any other type of pasta salad that you enjoy on warm summer days. You should also include a green salad choice and corn on the cob (off the grill of course) to round out your major food groups. When planning the food menu for your BBQ do not forget to include a chocolate dessert and plenty of beverages for your guests to drink.
