It is one of the first choices to make for a reception, and it shapes the mood of the whole evening. No option is better than another: it all depends on what you want to experience with your guests.

Two ways to host

Each option has its strengths. What matters is choosing the one that fits the venue, the number of people and the spirit of your event.

The buffet: friendly and relaxed, everyone helps themselves at their own pace and tastes a bit of everything.
Plated service: more formal, it gives the evening a rhythm and suits big occasions.
Serving stations: a lively alternative, where people move from one corner to another.
Dishes to share in the middle of the tables, for a family atmosphere.

Think about the venue: a buffet needs space for people to move around, and plated service requires more staff and a path to the kitchen. Think about your guests too: older people sometimes prefer to be served at the table.

Whatever the option, we make sure dishes arrive at the right temperature and that service goes smoothly. Tell us about your event, and we will sincerely advise you on the most suitable option.
