This guide is for aspirational hosts who value quality time with quality people. To save on the cost of dining out, you can have an even more memorable evening with a cozy, shared meal in your own home.
For centuries, smoked seafood has proven to be a simple way to elevate any platter. Want to follow the timeless tradition of legendary hosts? Follow our 4-step guide to host your next gathering and let Echo Falls do the heavy lifting so you can have an effortless evening of fun.
Step 1: Invite the Guests
The easy part! You know who you like- whether it’s 2 of your best friends or a larger gathering of acquaintances, your party will be epic. Email, text, call, or (if you want to be extra playful and chic) mail your invitations and plan your shopping list accordingly.
Step 2: Set the Mood
Even if your living space is small and full of Ikea furniture, a good dinner party is about ambiance, not space. We’re not here to tell you how to decorate (but if you like Echo Falls, chances are you have good taste!). Instead, we can offer a few foolproof tips. First, any space will benefit from a quick spruce up (organize clutter, wipe down hard surfaces. It doesn’t need to be a deep clean). Next, find the right music to match the mood. Last but not least is good lighting. If possible, avoid any overhead lighting and rely on lamplight or natural light, and always remember that candles make everything look better. This will match the elevated experience of your Echo Falls meal, and your guests will be sure to feel relaxed and comfortable.
Step 3: Prepare the Food
The centerpiece of the night. It goes without saying that the food is the most crucial part of a dinner party, and therefore the most stress-inducing. Lucky for you, Echo Falls makes an easy difference between a good party and an epic one. We’ve created a line of authentically cured and delicately smoked seafood varieties that are easy additions to any meal. Peruse our Recipe Cards to find the perfect, easy-to-prepare dish, or follow examples from other Echo Falls Legendary Hosts, who have shared their favorite recipes. And if you really want to impress your guests, gather talking points on our Products and Smokehouses, where you can learn about the cultural history, sustainable sourcing, and authentic smoking methods behind your prepared meal.
Step 4: Preserve the Memories
In the end, a dinner party is about creating lasting memories with loved ones. The warm ambiance, good conversation, and delicious food are the key ingredients for a night you get to remember forever. Take pictures of your event and frame them for your home. Or better yet, send your photos to us and join our Gallery Wall of Legendary Hosts!
