Start with the event programme and venue conditions. Then choose the food format and service method separately: delivery, setup or staffed service. A buffet, coffee break and banquet serve different needs. Availability of your particular arrangement is checked after an enquiry.

Describe how the event will run
Provide the city, date, local time, guest count and programme: a short meeting, a social celebration or a seated occasion. Explain whether you need a full meal or food alongside another activity. A wedding or corporate event describes the occasion rather than a promised menu package.
Compare the purpose of each format
Snack delivery is a request for prepared food without service. A buffet needs a discussion about the food area and guest movement. Coffee breaks follow programme intervals, while a banquet involves seating and a serving sequence. These are discussion prompts, not universal supplier rules.
| Format | What to clarify |
|---|---|
| Food delivery | Packaging, handover, storage and setup |
| Buffet | Food placement, guest access and replenishment |
| Coffee break | Break time, drinks and equipment |
| Banquet | Seating, serving, staff and tableware |
Choose the service method separately
Specify delivery only, delivery with setup, or staff at the venue. On-site cooking and BBQ require a check of both the supplier and venue. Mentioning a preference in an enquiry does not confirm that it is possible.
Emotions receives the enquiry, seeks a suitable local supplier and agrees the proposal. Contents, prices and fulfilment are confirmed for your event.
Prepare your catering enquiry
Share the city, local date and time, guest count and preferences. Emotions seeks a suitable local supplier, then agrees the menu, price and service scope. An enquiry does not book a supplier.
