Treat yourself to a summer sweet shot 🍓☀️

The perfect amount of non-alcoholic deliciousness in every one of these little desserts. With citrus flavors of Strawberry Shortcake and Key Lime Pie, there’s a summer dessert menu waiting for you!

With 30+ years in business, we’ve learned a lot about what helps guests truly enjoy an event experience to the fullest. One thing we’ve really honed in on? The little details. ✨

They may seem small in the moment, but they often shape the entire guest experience.

• Long bar lines
• Food presentation
• Awkward downtime between transitions
• Flow between spaces
• Empty water glasses
• Long waits for dinner service
• Empty plates and glasses sitting around

A host can’t always stay on top of every moving piece while also being fully present at their event. Ensuring plates are cleared, bar lines stay short, and food looks beautiful shouldn’t be something you have to worry about.

The good news? These are the kinds of details our team plans for LONG before event day arrives. The best events feel effortless to guests because every detail was thoughtfully considered by your event vendors behind the scenes.

At Purple Onion, we continue to strive for excellence in every aspect of every event, every single time. 🧅💜

The bar just leveled up. 🍷✨

Introducing our newest bar additions: elevated bar snacks + curated charcuterie displays. Small but mighty touches that keep guests mingling, snacking, and wowed.

A cocktail hour deserves more than a lonely wine glass. Pair it with these and it’ll never be lonely again. 🤩

Fresh, colorful, and in season! 🍓🍍🫐

One of our favorite ways to elevate an event? Letting the season inspire the menu. Vibrant berries, perfectly ripe citrus, and the juiciest watermelon…there’s just something magical about fresh ingredients at their peak.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms who make it all happen, oftentimes behind the scenes and always with heart.

Events are built on the same care, love, and attention that moms bring to everything they do. From mothers of the bride and groom, to the ones planning unforgettable birthday parties, to the women leading the large-scale events, we see you and we’re so grateful. 💐
