Consider adding these nonalcoholic drinks to your celebration menu
By Kirsten Beard
Looking to add something to your next Jewish celebration – how about a mocktail.
Marigold Catering + Events in Cleveland can help you find the right choice when it comes to what mocktails – those nonalcoholic drinks – to add to the menu that will boost the vibe at your next event.
“We love to add a mocktail as a specialty drink to the soda bar at mitzvah’s for something fun for the kids to enjoy,” Melissa Marik, CEO of Marigold Catering + Events, said. “These are always a big hit!”
Marik said Marigold Catering + Events is a full-service catering and event company specializing in weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs, and corporate and social events that has been in business for 28 years, serving Northeast Ohio. Its exclusive venues include Tenk West Bank, Red Space, Cleveland Botanical Gardens, all in Cleveland, and Bellavie, which is set to open in the spring in the former 700 Beta Conference Center location at 700 Beta Drive in Mayfield.
Marik added that in addition to its exclusive venues, Marigold Catering + Events is the preferred caterer in about 20 other locations and has the capabilities to cater at residences or any other location of choice.
“At Marigold, we strive to deliver a truly unique and memorable experience from start to finish,” Marik said.“We’re not a big operation that churns out cookie-cutter parties, but we’re also not a small shop that lacks the resources to ensure your event runs smoothly. We are right in the middle. Our dedicated event team will provide you with personal attention to guide you through the event planning process.”
From offering customizable menus in addition to wedding and corporate packages, Marigold Catering + Events will handle everything from food and beverage, including a full bar, to staffing and event rentals.
“We believe that catering is more than just food on a plate and we measure our success by the personal connections we create and invest ourselves completely in the happiness of our clients and guests,” Marik said.
