🌎 Setting the table for a greener future 🌿
Happy Earth Day from all of us at Paramount Events!

Hospitality means more than serving meals—it’s about crafting experiences that care for people and the planet.

Sustainability isn’t a trend for us—it’s at our core. Today (and every day), we’re proud to take steps that nourish our community and protect the world we call home.

From local farm partners to food donation programs, composting efforts, and green certifications—we’re grateful to work alongside so many who share our mission to make hospitality more sustainable.

As we kick off Earth Month, we’re proud to highlight our commitment to sustainability at Paramount Events. From weddings and corporate galas to multi-day conferences and everything in between, we proudly prioritize sourcing local ingredients, seasonal menu planning, and reducing food waste. These practices not only benefit the planet but also support local farmers, ensuring the food we serve at your events is fresh and delicious! 🌱💚

Through mindful menu planning, we consider dietary restrictions, guest counts, and event types to minimize over-purchasing and spoilage. Every ingredient is utilized fully to reduce waste. Leftover food is donated to local communities through our partnership with COPIA, while organic waste is composted with WasteNot Compost to further our environmental impact. ♻️

Sustainability isn’t just a practice—it’s at the core of everything we do, from supporting local farmers to protecting the planet. 🌎✨
