When it comes to organizing impactful corporate events, the right catering can transform a gathering into an unforgettable experience. At UP Events, we believe that food is more than just a meal — it’s a catalyst for connection, creativity, and celebration. Discover how our catering options for corporate events at UP Events set the stage for memorable moments, seamless logistics, and delighted guests.

Why Catering Matters for Corporate Events

Catering is no longer a background detail; it’s a central feature of successful corporate events. Shared meals foster informal networking, strengthen team bonds, and create a relaxed atmosphere that encourages open communication. At UP Events, we’ve seen firsthand how a thoughtfully curated menu can elevate everything from team-building days to large-scale company festivals.

The Power of Shared Experiences

Whether it’s a lively BBQ, an elegant buffet, or interactive food stations, communal dining brings people together. Our venues in Amsterdam West and Weesp offer both indoor and outdoor spaces, allowing guests to enjoy meals in tranquil, green surroundings — perfect for sparking creativity and collaboration.

Our Catering Options: Flexible, Creative, and Inclusive

BBQs & Live Cooking

Nothing says team spirit like a sizzling BBQ. Our live BBQ stations are a crowd favorite, turning mealtime into an interactive experience. Guests can watch our chefs in action, choose their favorites, and enjoy freshly grilled specialties. This format is ideal for fostering conversation and camaraderie.

Buffets & Street Food

For events that call for variety and flexibility, our buffets and street food stations offer something for everyone. From local Dutch classics to international flavors, we design menus that appeal to diverse tastes and dietary needs. Street food setups add a playful, festival-like vibe — perfect for company celebrations or summer parties.

Snack Platters & High Teas

For meetings, workshops, or networking sessions, our snack platters and high teas provide elegant, bite-sized options. These are perfect for keeping energy levels high and conversations flowing without interrupting the event’s momentum.

Cocktail Bars & Drink Packages

Raise a glass to your team’s success! Our cocktail bars and drink packages can be tailored to suit your event, whether you’re looking for a casual drinks reception or a sophisticated evening affair. Cocktail workshops are also available, blending fun with skill-building.

Lunches & Custom Menus

From energizing working lunches to themed banquets, we customize every menu to fit your event’s goals and your guests’ preferences. Our experienced team works closely with you to design a culinary experience that matches your vision.

Dietary Requirements: Inclusivity at the Table

Modern corporate events must cater to a wide range of dietary needs. At UP Events, we take inclusivity seriously:

• Vegetarian, vegan, and allergen-free options are always available.
• Menus can be fully adapted for specific dietary restrictions.
• We work closely with organizers to gather requirements in advance, ensuring every guest feels welcome and cared for.

This commitment reflects a broader industry trend toward personalization and inclusivity, making your event accessible to all.

Sustainability: A Growing Priority

While the Amsterdam catering market increasingly prioritizes sustainability — through local sourcing, waste reduction, and eco-friendly packaging — we are continually evolving our practices to align with these values. Our focus on fresh, high-quality ingredients and efficient logistics helps minimize our environmental footprint while delivering exceptional taste.

Customization: Tailored to Your Event

Every corporate event is unique, and your catering should reflect that. Our team collaborates with you to design a bespoke menu that aligns with your event’s theme, objectives, and guest preferences. Whether you’re planning a product launch, a team-building retreat, or a festive company party, we ensure the food is a highlight.
