Business parties in Amsterdam: catering that works for your image

Business parties in Amsterdam: catering that works for your image

Planning a business party in Amsterdam? Let’s talk about food. Snacks might seem just snacks, but what you serve says a lot about your company. In a creative city like Amsterdam, boring food is a missed opportunity and even a risk to your image.

Good corporate catering, however, turns a simple party into a memorable experience. Our team at SnelPlan specializes in creating such experiences. Our mission is to make your business events in Amsterdam truly successful.

When the menu matches the mission

Your company’s actions must match its words. This also applies to the food you serve.

Is your company a tech start-up or a creative agency? Surprise your guests with Korean barbecue tacos or Indian-style sliders. This will show that your brand is modern and open to new ideas. For example, you can order such dishes from street-food-inspired caterers like “the food line-up”, who create unique culinary concepts.

Does your company care about the planet? Show it through dishes made with local ingredients. We can help you find partners who specialize in eco-catering. A great example is Instock, a company that cooks delicious meals from saved food products. This perfectly reflects your values.

Do you work for a top bank, law firm, or luxury brand? Your events need to be special. You need high-quality dishes that will impress your guests. SnelPlan helps develop an elegant menu. We partner with premium services like Maison van den Boer to arrange for artisanal cheeses or miniature lobster appetizers.

Menu with a local touch

Amsterdam has a unique gastronomic culture. This is where Dutch traditions meet global flavours. Integrate this into your catering to make your event special and emphasise its connection to the city. You can add local colour without resorting to clichés. Here’s how we at SnelPlan help our clients do this:

• Instead of simple cheese cubes, we organise a tasting of farmhouse cheeses with fruit chutneys and artisan bread. You can order them from famous cheese shops like Fromagerie Abraham Kef. We’ll serve them with fruit chutneys and artisan bread.
• Everyone knows bitterballen, but we will find a caterer who prepares gourmet versions of them — with truffles, mushrooms or shrimp. Excellent options are offered by De Ballenbar in the famous Foodhallen. We can also serve modern variations on Dutch dishes, such as savoury mini pancakes (poffertjes) with smoked salmon.
• A culinary station where dishes are prepared in front of guests is always a success. Imagine a chef making fresh stroopwafels, and guests adding toppings. Or a stylish cart serving herring on rye bread with finely chopped onions. This creates a fun and relaxed atmosphere. 
• We can organize a craft beer tasting from local breweries like Brouwerij ‘t IJ or Oedipus Brewing. Or we can create a signature cocktail based on Dutch gin (jenever) from a famous distillery like Wynand Fockink.

Finding such unique ideas and local suppliers is our strength at SnelPlan. We take care of the planning so that you can give your guests a taste of Amsterdam they will never forget.
