Smaller receptions
Thirty guests may need one compact drinks station with decent non-alcoholic options.

Corporate receptions in Milan
A reception works when people can talk. A drinks station that produces a queue becomes the focus of the room for all the wrong reasons.
Request a proposal ↗What we need to establish
Larger receptions may need more service stations, not necessarily more menu options.
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
- Peak guest count
- Alcoholic and alcohol-free drinks
- Passed canapés or a fixed station
- Setup and final venue handover
What the service requires
Receptions for 30, 80 and 200 people are different services
As attendance grows, serving stations, staffing and glass collection matter as much as food quantities.
02
Mid-sized networking
Eighty people arriving together can create queues. A separate water and soft-drinks station may help.
03
Larger occasions
Two hundred people may require multiple bars, more servers and defined clearing points. Exact needs depend on layout and duration.
Illustrative planning scenario, not a completed event
Hypothetical: 80 guests for a two-hour post-conference drinks reception. Cost food, bar, glassware and staff as separate line items.
Actual service scope and rates require supplier and venue confirmation.
What to send in your brief
- Maximum simultaneous attendance
- Alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks
- Serving points and staff
- Waste, cleanup and delivery access
