Catering for a wedding in Amsterdam – fully catered at your location

Catering for a wedding is a full catering service where a professional team arranges the food, presentation and care at the wedding venue in Amsterdam or the surrounding area – so bride, groom and their guests can enjoy themselves without worrying about the practicalities.

In a nutshell: De Catering Companion provides wedding catering on location in Amsterdam, Landsmeer, Purmerend and Zaandam for groups of 30 people or more. Buffet, appetizers or reception – including set-up, hot equipment and a fixed contact person.

You’re getting married and you want the food to be right. Not too formal, not too simple – but a table that makes guests happy and that you yourself can enjoy without having to call the caterer halfway through the evening. That is the essence of what The Catering Companion offers.

But what are the options for on-site wedding catering? And what should you arrange? Here’s how The Catering Companion handles weddings.

What catering formats work well at a wedding?

A buffet is the most frequently chosen option at weddings. Guests serve themselves, the flow is relaxed and a buffet invites an evening that is not tightly programmed. The Catering Companion offers a variety of buffet themes – from Mediterranean and Italian to Arabic, Asian or a classic hot and cold buffet.

For the reception or drinks portion, appetizers are the obvious choice. Small bites passed around while guests congratulate and engage in conversation. A smooth transition from ceremony to dinner begins with a well-crafted reception.

Want a theme that fits the mood of the wedding? The choice of buffet theme helps set the tone of the evening. A Mediterranean buffet suits an outdoor summer wedding. A hot and cold buffet works all year round. Let us think with you about what fits best.

Dietary requirements at a wedding – not an exception but standard

A wedding is pre-eminently the occasion where you have to deal with diverse audiences. Family from both sides, friends from different backgrounds – and therefore a wide range of dietary requirements. Halal meat, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, nut allergy.

The Catering Companion customizes the composition based on what you pass on with the quote. No separate plates for part of the guests, but a buffet that is right for everyone. This is also a practical advantage: you don’t have to keep track of who gets to eat what.

How is the catering done on the wedding day?

The buffet or appetizers will be set up at your wedding venue – banquet hall, outside, office or private location. Everything will be ready at the agreed time. There is a fixed contact person during the run-up and on the day itself. Hot equipment is included as standard.

In addition to the buffet, would you like a lunch for the bride and groom and immediate family earlier in the day? Check out the hot lunch menus on location.

The quotation is concrete: price per person, including set-up and care. No hidden costs afterwards.

How much in advance do you book wedding catering?

For a wedding, we recommend booking early – at least four to six months in advance if you have a summer date. The most popular weekends fill up quickly. Do you have a date in the spring or fall? Then two to three months in advance is sufficient in most cases. Get in touch and we’ll see what’s available together.
