Home > Blog > 5 Event & Catering Trends We’re Loving for 2025
The new year is here, and at Eatertainment, we’re buzzing with excitement about the fresh wave of creativity sweeping the catering and events scene. While we always strive to be innovative and deliver unforgettable experiences, there are a few event trends in particular that have captured our attention. Here are our top 5 favourite event and catering trends that we think will shape events in 2025.
1. Immersive Experiences:
Forget static events, 2025 is all about creating experiences that truly transport guests. Imagine stepping into a whimsical garden party, or being surrounded by the masterpieces of a renowned art gallery – all within the confines of your event. We love how immersive experiences engage all the senses, from themed decor and interactive installations to captivating soundscapes and live performances.
One of our favourite venues for creating truly immersive experiences is the Design Exchange. With its stunning architecture and state-of-the-art projection mapping system, the DX allows us to transform any event space into a breathtaking spectacle.

2. Interactive Food and Beverage Stations:
Interactive food and beverage stations are a fantastic way to add a dynamic and engaging element to any event. Guests love the ability to customize their meals and watch talented chefs in action. Think cocktail fountains, build-your-own crepe bars, or even food conveyor belts allowing guests to select their favourites as they pass by.
These interactive experiences not only provide delicious food and drinks but also create a sense of excitement and wonder. It’s a feast for the eyes and the taste buds, making them a standout among events and catering trends.

3. Personalized Menus:
In a world of diverse tastes and dietary needs, personalized menus are more important than ever. We’re excited to see this trend flourish, allowing guests to enjoy delicious food that caters to their individual preferences. Whether it’s accommodating dietary restrictions, cultural preferences, or simply personal tastes, personalized menus ensure that every guest feels valued and satisfied. This is one of the most impactful trends in 2025.

4. Sustainability: Celebrating the Planet
In 2025, sustainability is no longer a niche concept – it’s a driving force in the events industry. With growing awareness of climate change and environmental impact, guests are increasingly seeking out events that align with their values. They want to know where their food comes from, how waste is being managed, and what steps are being taken to minimize the event’s footprint on the planet.
This shift in consumer consciousness is inspiring caterers and event planners to embrace eco-friendly practices. Sustainability is a core value at Eatertainment, and we’re thrilled to see it becoming a priority across the events and catering industry. This focus on sustainability is among the key events and catering trends shaping the future.

5. Unique Entertainment:
In a world saturated with information and fleeting trends, capturing attention and creating lasting memories is more crucial than ever. Unique entertainment is key to achieving this at your event. Think beyond the standard DJ or band and consider experiences that spark conversation, encourage interaction, and leave a lasting impression.
Live art installations, interactive games, theatrical performances, mind-blowing magic shows, and even unexpected musical acts can all add that extra wow factor. The key is to choose entertainment that aligns with your event’s theme and your guests’ interests, ensuring a truly memorable experience.

These are just a few of the events and catering trends we’re excited about in 2025. At Eatertainment, we’re passionate about crafting exceptional events that reflect the latest trends while exceeding our client’s expectations. We can’t wait to see what the year holds and how we can continue to elevate the art of event planning.
