An 80s Prom Night to Die For: Village Gourmet Brings the Flavor to a Murder Mystery

Nostalgia, mystery, and mouthwatering cuisine collided at Warm Hearth Village in the most spectacular way. Village Gourmet had the honor of catering an unforgettable 80s prom-themed murder mystery play—and it was a night to remember.

Guests arrived dressed to the nines in neon, tulle, teased hair, pastel tuxedos, and shoulder pads- Upon entering, guests were instantly transported to an “Under the Sea” themed prom night straight out of 1985. But this wasn’t just any prom—this was interactive theater at its finest, with twists, turns, and a whole lot of laughter as attendees became part of the playful whodunit.

As the drama unfolded, so did the feast. Village Gourmet served up a spread worthy of center stage. Golden beer-battered chicken tenders were the undeniable stars of the evening—crispy, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. Our slow-simmered, savory meatballs followed closely behind, rich with flavor and gone in minutes.

The vibrant vegetable and cheese display was a showstopper of its own—an artfully arranged spread of crisp, colorful produce, fine cheeses, and tempting dips that brought both elegance and freshness to every plate. And the cookie selection? A sweet finale. From classic chocolate chip to rich double chocolate, every bite was baked with care and devoured with joy. No sweet tooth went unfulfilled.

But what truly made the night magical was the way Village Gourmet brought it all together. From thoughtful service with a smile to seamless setup and presentation, our team didn’t just cater a meal—we helped create an experience.

We’re proud to say this evening was more than an event—it was a celebration of community, creativity, and the delicious joy that comes when people gather around good food and great fun. At Village Gourmet, that’s what we do best.
