Corporate cocktail reception in Brussels with champagne and canapés

A well-orchestrated corporate cocktail is the silent weapon of Brussels companies that want to retain clients, partners and teams — without falling into the standard afterwork trap.

The right bite-to-guest ratio

  • Afterwork (1h30 to 2h): 8 to 10 savory bites per person.
  • Walking dinner (2h30 to 3h): 12 to 14 bites, including 2 to 3 sweet.
  • VIP reception: add 2 premium verrines and a live cooking station.

Savory, sweet, signature: the right mix

A successful cocktail menu plays on three registers: 60 % classic savory bites, 25 % signature Afro-European bites, 15 % sweet.

Drinks: plan 0.8 L per person per hour

For a 2h30 cocktail: 2 glasses of bubbles or wine per guest, plus still and sparkling water. Soft drinks and beers represent 30 % of total consumption.
