The most common type of catering at social events is a buffet where cold and sweet dishes are prepared at buffet or cocktail tables and guests serve themselves without being disturbed in the conversation. It is possible to use "Live cooking", where hot meals are prepared by professional chefs right in front of the guests and enriching the evening with an interesting gourmet experience.

Cocktail is a shorter informal meeting, usually preceded by other social events, such as a press conference, a fashion show or vernissage, serving to meet other guests and establish contacts. The refreshment is served by the waiter directly from the trays to the guests, which are not unnecessarily disturbed by the handling of the dishes.

If you would like to add a shorter informal social section to familiarize guests and make new contacts, the glass of wine is right for you. This is a maximum hourly meal, where wine and delicious snacks are served.
