Booking a caterer for the festive season

Traiteur pour les fêtes de fin d'année en Suisse

Thinking of hiring a caterer for the festive season? At MAYOR TRAITEUR, we offer the right service for all your private and professional events . With Christmas and New Year just around the corner, we’d like to share our tips for a successful festive season.

Why organize an end-of-year party?

For most people, the end of December is synonymous with taking stock and the winter vacations. If you’re a business owner, it’s the perfect time to show your appreciation to your employees, partners and/or customers. It’s an event not to be overlooked in the life of a company. Local authorities and associations can also close the year in style.

Indeed, the benefits of these convivial moments are numerous, especially in combating the drop in motivation and morale that is common at the end of the year. These high points reinforce team cohesion and help to forge links in a relaxed atmosphere. You can seize this opportunity to spread key messages for next year. Last but not least, your guests will enjoy having fun outside the traditional work setting.

What event should you choose to celebrate Christmas or New Year?

MAYOR TRAITEUR will help you organize your end-of-year party with professionalism. We offer a wide range of options to satisfy your every wish. Your event can take the form of an aperitif or cocktails if you want it to be held over a short period of time and with minimum logistics.

Prefer to meet your guests for a real meal? Opt for a buffet or a sit-down lunch or dinner, with hot dishes served at the table. Our chefs create a refined, gourmet holiday menu using local produce.

MAYOR TRAITEUR also offers a meal delivery service for the festive season. Please contact us for delivery conditions in the cantons of Geneva and Vaud.

Steps to follow for a successful event

Organization means anticipation. This is one of the secrets to ensuring that your event runs smoothly. To achieve this, we recommend that you quickly define the following elements:

  1. The budget: determine the maximum amount you want to spend on this event.
  1. A date and time to suit most: between late November and December 22 (before the vacations), at a time that won’t delay those with children.
  1. A convivial reception venue: on your business premises, in a restaurant or a room rented for the occasion. Be sure to reserve the venue in advance. Take a look at our reception venues and the advantages of organizing a private evening at MAYOR café restaurant.
  1. A caterer with a Christmas menu: book your caterer for the festive season in advance to avoid disappointment. You’ll have more options and be able to choose the date that suits you best.
  1. Communication: we recommend that you send out invitations early enough so that your guests can get organized and attend.
  1. Decoration: to bring out the magic of the festive season in your guests, take great care in decorating the venue and the tables. Put up a Christmas tree, string lights or natural wreaths. Don’t hesitate to entrust this task to us – it’s one of our specialties!
  1. Entertainment (show, DJ, etc.) and gifts.
