Corporate dinners in Milan
A dinner with awards is not simply a meal. If the main course arrives during the speeches or dessert arrives after guests start leaving, the whole evening suffers.
Request a proposal ↗What we need to establish
The run of show and serving schedule need to work together.
A specific brief prevents quotes for fundamentally different services being compared as if they were the same. These are the important facts to establish.
What we need to establish
- Seated, buffet or mixed service
- Speech and awards timetable
- Kitchen and bar restrictions at the venue
- Last access and clearing time
A good place to start
Business dinners, client hospitality and year-end company events.
Discuss your event ↗What the service requires
Dinner service needs to work around the speeches
A seated awards dinner is a different operational job from an informal buffet. Start with a workable run sheet.
02
Buffet and hybrid formats
Plan guest movement and clearing routes rather than just finding space for food stations.
03
Company Christmas parties
Venues and suppliers may book out well ahead. Confirm real availability and costs before promising a date.
