Planning a party can be a bit overwhelming when it comes to finalizing all of the details. While many of the decisions you must make are obvious, such as choosing what foods you will serve, there are so many other aspects of your party that need consideration.

See below for a brief description of some of the party planning services we offer:

One of the most important decisions you have to make during the party planning process for a Sweet 16 is where you'll host it. When it comes to selecting a venue, it's not only important to choose one that fits your budget, but it's also essential that you pick one that reflects your style and personality. Here at Zacharys, we are able to do just that!

So, are you interested in a party that includes tons of dancing? If you are, we've got exactly what you need - just try our Sweet 16 Night Club Dance Party and see for yourself! Our atmosphere is geared towards the chic honoree who is seeking an edgy, grown up look for her party. Since most teens and young adults have probably not been to a night club (and are probably anxious to try one), our venue provides the opportunity to experience what one has to offer while keeping it age appropriate for the honoree and her guests!

When it comes to entertainment, we recognize how expensive it can be to rent equipment to enhance your party. That's why we've designed our venue to include state of the art sound, lighting and video equipment that you can use throughout the night. Additionally, all of our Sweet 16s include a DJ and a security team for no extra fee! At Zacharys, all entertainment aspects are part of an all inclusive package that was created with our customers in mind.

When it comes to planning a wedding, one of the most difficult decisions you have to make is choosing a date and season. For many couples, summer is the most desired season due to the nice weather and ability to host ceremonies or parties outdoors. But how do you plan for one? Check out these trends and tips to help you plan the perfect summer wedding:

1. Choose Bright Colors: Bright, bold colors are always a great choice for a summer wedding. But don't go too crazy, pick only two or three hues and stick with them.

2. Florals: In addition to solid colors, floral print is great to use for your invitations or decorations. This can help give off an elegant vibe and is a great way to offset any solid patterns you have.

3. Soft Music: Keep the air light by including soft, laid back music in your reception. Especially during your cocktail hour, keep guests cool, calm and collected with soft background music created through the use of a piano or string instrument.

4. Wine Smoothies/Frozen Drinks: Since you run the risk of getting married on a hot day, make sure to incorporate some kind of frozen treat into your drink menu; giving guests something cool to sip on is sure to be a hit.

5. Outdoor Weddings: Though indoor weddings can be beautiful, outdoor weddings are a great way to celebrate summer and your wedding all at once. Dare to dip your toes in the sand with a beach wedding? Great weather provides great opportunities.

Once you've picked a date and ironed out your guest list, it's time to pick a venue for your reception! Choose Zacharys Catering! Throughout any season, Zacharys is ready to cater your special day. Your guests will enjoy chic appetizers, towering culinary displays and signature cocktails in addition to beautifully handcrafted desserts and your wedding cake!

Plan That Summer Party Now

Here are some great ideas to keep the guests at your Summer Party satisfied!

Have a Sundae Party! Too hot to bake and turn that oven on? Celebrate your summer party by setting out various types of ice cream with plenty of toppings for everyone to enjoy.  Use fortune-tellers, or those folded-paper staples of childhood to serve your toppings in.

A Community Garden Potluck Party What better way to get a taste of everything? Invite your friends, family, and neighbors to a community party where various unforgettable dishes will be served!

A Punch Bowl Ice Bath Instead of keeping your drink cool by constantly adding ice cubes and watering it down, try this trick. Slip one container inside another and put ice between the two. This will ensure your guests will constantly taste the deliciousness and natural flavor of the punch!

A second use for flower pots Clean any extra flower pots you may have laying around the garage or yard and put them to good use! Use them as protector’s to any food you may be serving at the party and keep those insects away! 

Preppy Napkin Rings Add a personal touch to your dinner napkins by using grosgrain ribbon and D rings to give your napkins something special.
