Find brunch venues near me

If you find a unique, gorgeous brunch venue, the table may already be sufficiently decorated, or you can keep the decor light and minimalist since the space will already be visually dazzling. The most important part of decorating a brunch table is the centerpiece, which anchors what event planners call "the tablescape." We recommend bringing the natural world in, incorporating flowers or decorative grasses. A simple vase containing a small but bright bouquet can be understated but serve up a little "pop." Make sure individual place settings are tasteful and refined. Beyond that, you shouldn't over-decorate, as a cluttered table gets in the way of your guests actively enjoying their food and drink.

For a brunch planning checklist, we recommend using Peerspace's amazing Event Planning Checklist. If you want additional options, take your search to the web, and you'll find great options from food websites like Taste of Home and Martha Stewart. Finally, check out your social media platforms of choice—especially Pinterest and Facebook—and you'll find that event planners frequently share their favorite templates.

If your jaw-dropping brunch venue serves food, their professional brunch masters will help you craft a menu that will go down in brunch history. If you're going the DIY route, bring some variety to the menu by offering a mix of sweet, savory, and fresh items. A typical brunch menu will contain at least a few different items from the following list: an egg dish, a hearty/savory option, a sweet option, and fresh fruit or a side salad. Coffee and tea are customary, and traditional brunch drinks include Mimosas, Bloody Marys, champagne-based cocktails, and Irish coffee.
