Organising a company cocktail party may seem relatively easy, but it requires preparation and attention to detail that only a specialised agency can guarantee.

It can be to celebrate the company’s anniversary, launch a new product or service, mark a change in the company’s life, or close a work period with a party.

The organisation of a company cocktail party can be done in many ways, depending on the time you wish to dedicate to this break, your collaborators’ number and availability, the atmosphere you want to imprint on the event and your budget. You can thus opt for a dinner cocktail, a dinner aperitif or a lunch cocktail. Each formula has its specificities and will require to adapt the program and the menu.

– Aperitif cocktail: Perfect for a short break at the end of the morning or afternoon, it requires a smaller budget. It does not replace the meal that follows and will only propose a few appetisers. It is an excellent solution to create a friendly atmosphere between people who already know each other.

– Cocktail dinner: More consistent, it should be organised after work hours. It will bring the participants closer together and give them time to get to know each other or exchange ideas. The food must be presented sufficiently to sustain your guests and not leave them with an impression of embarrassment or economy.

– Lunch Cocktail: It is an advantageous alternative to the lunch break and allows you to avoid encroaching too much on the workday. The buffet must offer sufficient quantities and be able to satisfy all tastes.

The type and quantity of drinks should be adapted to the reception time: avoid cocktails at lunchtime and offer good non-alcoholic beverages. During an aperitif cocktail, limit strong drinks on an empty stomach and adjust the quantities if the guests have to go back on the road. However, do not hesitate to serve champagne or even propose an open bar evening for an aperitif dinner.
