Insights from Alex Carsonie, National Sales & Event Manager

Whether you’re hosting a corporate gathering, client appreciation event, or a celebratory soirée, Alex Carsonie, our National Sales & Event Manager, shares three standout ideas to inspire your next gathering.

Zero-Proof Cocktails

The rise of zero-proof cocktails continues to grow. Our guests are seeking sophisticated, alcohol-free options that are just as thoughtfully crafted as traditional cocktails.

Kick off your event with a welcome zero-proof “cocktail” like our new Panoma, a refreshing and balanced blend of Seedlip Notas de Agave, fresh grapefruit and lime juice, and sparkling grapefruit soda. It’s a bright, modern sip that sets the tone for an exceptional evening.

Global Cuisine & Flavors

Guests are craving more adventurous and diverse flavors, and incorporating global cuisine into your event menu is a powerful way to deliver. A curated sushi flight makes for a memorable first course—fresh, artful, and full of flavor. It’s an elegant way to start any event on a high note.

Interactive Dining Experiences

The most memorable events go beyond the plate—they spark conversation and connection. Interactive dining elements add a personal, dynamic touch that resonates long after the last bite.

Whether it’s tableside presentation like freshly shaved truffles, the dramatic reveal of a Smoked Old Fashioned, or a warm welcome and menu overview by our Executive Chef, these thoughtful details make all the difference. At Ocean Prime, we pride ourselves on creating engaging, guest-focused experiences that feel as extraordinary as the food itself. Our sales and event managers at each Ocean Prime location are available to help you plan special touches that are personalized to your group and will “wow” your guests at your next event.
