Five Resident Event Themes for Maximum Resident Engagment

As proven multifamily social connectors for more than twenty years, we know that bringing people together to meet each other and form new friendships creates enduring bonds.  More than any physical amenities, perks, or apps, live resident events are your community’s true anchor, emotionally connecting residents to your property as their own special neighborhood. 

To help you activate and engage your residents and foster that sense of community camaraderie that increases resident retention, we’ve compiled the top five culinary resident event themes that consistently draw big crowds.

Hands-On Sushi Workshop

sushi class for apartment community

While food trends come and go, the enduring appeal of sushi consistently ranks it as the most favorite cooking class theme year after year.  Curious residents learn how to make sushi rice, classic sushi rolls, and even get to customize their own colorful fillings.

Three Wines, Three Cheeses

Always new and always changing, this ever-popular wine and cheese pairing class combines our team’s most exciting vintage discoveries with uniquely crafted artisan cheeses.  A lively discussion around the origins and methods of each wine and each cheese, and how to pair wines and cheeses, brings together both aspiring and experienced wine and cheese enthusiasts.

Mediterranean Spice Cooking Class

Our engaging live chef personality take you to an imaginary Middle Eastern spice market, overflowing with abundant color and intoxicating fragrance.  We invite residents to discover this unfamiliar world with a diverse tasting menu of fresh and flavorful mezzes (small plates) they can easily make at home with friends.

Hands-On Artisan Pizza Workshop

If you’ve got the oven, we’ve got the dough!  Residents learn how to make artisanal pizza dough from scratch, then shape and top their own creations in this custom pizza-making and tasting party.

Boozy Farmhouse Pancake Brunch

It doesn’t get any better than classic country pancakes, warm and fluffy from the griddle, to cure what ails you.  We dress them up with a choice of farm-fresh seasonal fruit toppings, unique handmade syrups, and boozy spiked whipped cream.  Make this ever-popular brunch next-level with our licensed bartenders mixing fresh fruit mimosas or spicy Bloody Marys, and your residents will remember (or not remember) this glorious gathering.
