Business Mixer Catering

It is often the case that businesses hold mixers for their employees and colleagues in their field. This is beneficial for many reasons. First and foremost, it is a great way to network and make connections in your area of expertise. Sometimes these events can be stressful and overwhelming. There is nothing like some good food and cold drinks to loosen the mood. That is precisely where we at Denise et Jean-Louis Catering enter in the picture. We are committed to providing businesses with the highest standard of catering at an affordable price.

Tips for Networking Success

We want your business mixer to be a hit, and to be a networking success for you. Though the primary purpose of a mixer is to facilitate the fostering of business relationships, it is important to keep the atmosphere easy going and relaxed; this ensures that your guests are comfortable and most importantly, so are you. Here are some ways you can keep the mood light and relaxed:

Provide Light Refreshments

Offer some light refreshments. Coffee tea, sodas and juices are a great way to quench people’s thirst and to lighten a mood. For a happy hour vibe, cocktails, beer and wine are a great option. Our team of talented bartenders and mixologists will be sure to impress the guests at your mixer.

Rent a Corporate Venue

Getting people out of the office and into a relaxed environment is a great way to spark conversation. There will be new sights, tastes and sounds to stimulate plenty of conversation. At Denise et Jean-Louis Catering, we have good relationships with many corporate venues and banquets. Holding your mixer at a venue outside of the office is a great way to inspire your colleagues and peers to get dressed up and make some new connections.

Encourage Mixing and Mingling

It is helpful to encourage people to bring information about the products and services they offer. Designate special sections of the room to be specifically outfitted for that purpose. Similarly, keep the food and drinks to another area. This will create flow in the space, and will encourage people to walk around, talk to each other and get a feel for what is being offered. A sneaky tip to ensure people are mixing and mingling is to supply fewer chairs than there are people!

Suggest a Networking Exercise

At the beginning of the mixer, suggest a small networking exercise. Ask your guests to speak to one person to their left and to one person to their right. Ask them to state their name, what they do, and what they wish to achieve that evening. This will surely be a conversation starter.
