A cocktail stand-up function is a brilliant way to create a relaxed room where your guests are free to move about and mingle as they please. This style of function works well for a mid-morning, mid-afternoon, or after-work event where networking and socialising are the order of the day!
We are very well versed in all things cocktail, and have an incredible range of food and drinks to suit this type of occasion. See our Cocktail Event categories to place your order here!
If you’re looking to ‘impress’ your guests and create a cocktail function to remember... let us do the job for you!
WHAT WE OFFER:
Premium cocktail menus, offering a wide selection of delicious canapés, including hot and cold gourmet finger foods
A personalised cocktail canapé menu to suit your budget, theme, and location
Carefully curated house-made recipes using fresh, quality, and seasonal ingredients
A large range of impressive foods to suit all dietary requirements
A dedicated events planner who will look after all your event needs
Time and duration of the function – this will affect the amount and type of food you will want to provide. We suggest you stick to a schedule for this type of cocktail function, and build in time for delivery and food service
Size of event – how many people are you catering for? What is the female/male ratio? Males often have a bigger appetite than females! Always overestimate your head count to allow for last minute attendees
Budget – you may decide to create a ‘per-attendee’ budget to streamline the process. We can create a menu to suit a budget of anywhere from $10 to $100 per attendee
Purpose/theme of event – all corporate functions are different, and the type of food on offer should reflect and support the overall purpose of the event. For example, is the function being held to make an important business decision? Or is it simply a way for your colleagues to build stronger relationships? Choose an objective and stick to it. And don’t forget to tell us so we can make the most appropriate suggestions
Where are your food stations situated? Are stand-up/cocktail style tables available? We suggest arranging smaller stations throughout the space, where appropriate, such as high bar cocktail tables.
Does your event require wait and/or bar staff? Or a function supervisor who will make your life a lot easier by taking control of the service of food and beverages? Will your event suffer without this service?
What food and drink will best suit the nature of your function? Sweet or savoury, or a mix of both? We suggest small finger foods that are easy to consume while standing – please see suggestions and links to our range of gourmet goods below.
