2025 Wedding Planning: 5 Trends to Watch for a Memorable Celebration
As you step into the new year and new adventures, embrace the wedding plans that will make your love story unique, personalized and unforgettable for you and your guests.
After catering hundreds of weddings, we’ve seen firsthand what makes a wedding stand out, and we’re excited to share some of the trends that are making waves this year. Here are our favorite ways to create a celebration that reflects your story and keeps your guests talking long after the last slice of pizza is gone.

Go Big with Outdoor Venues
If the past few years have taught us anything, it’s the joy of being outdoors. Couples are taking full advantage of nature’s backdrop, whether it’s a sun-drenched vineyard, a rustic barn or a breezy beachside ceremony.
Outdoor weddings offer the perfect canvas for you to get creative with your decor, lighting and overall vibe. Plus, they provide the flexibility to host larger gatherings or create intimate pockets for smaller, cozy conversations under the stars. Don’t forget to plan for the elements—think stylish sun shades, cozy fire pits or fun parasols to keep your guests comfortable no matter the weather.

Elevate the Menu with Interactive Food Stations
Food is no longer just a meal; it’s an experience. In 2025, interactive food stations are stealing the show—fresh pasta bars, build-your-own taco stands and our favorite, make-your-own wood-fired pizzas. These setups not only offer your guests a chance to customize their plates but encourage mingling and fun conversations around their favorite dishes. It’s a delicious way to break the ice and keep the energy high throughout the night.
-
Eco-Friendly Elements for Sustainable Celebrations
Couples are making sustainability a priority by incorporating eco-friendly practices into their wedding plans. Ask the venue if you can plant a tree or perennial flowers to celebrate your commitment to the future. From invitations printed on recycled paper to biodegradable confetti, there are countless ways to reduce your wedding’s environmental impact.
Our tip? Choose a caterer like A Wandering Fire that sources local ingredients from organic farms and local butchers, offering reusable or compostable dining ware. You can have a delicious, beautiful wedding without sacrificing style or taste—and it’s a great way to show your love to the planet on a day dedicated to love stories.
-
Personal Touches that Tell Your Story
This year, it’s all about personalization. Couples are finding creative ways to infuse their personalities into every detail, whether it’s custom cocktails named after their pets, playlists packed with their favorite songs or unique table settings that reflect their shared adventures.
We love to see couples put their stamp on their weddings, and our pizzas are no different—with the option to design a menu that features your favorite flavors or even your own signature pizza creation. It’s these personal touches that make your wedding feel truly yours and leave a lasting impression on your guests.
-
Ditch the Formalities for a Laid-Back Vibe
Gone are the days of rigid schedules and stiff formalities: 2025 is all about keeping things relaxed and fun. Couples are opting for laid-back timelines, like open seating, extended cocktail hours and games or activities that keep guests entertained throughout the night. Picture your guests lounging on picnic blankets, sipping craft cocktails or dancing barefoot under twinkling lights.
This trend is all about creating an atmosphere where everyone feels at ease and the celebration flows as naturally as your love. Pizza is a food that adds comfort to everyone’s experience.
