Prémices is not a classic caterer with a central kitchen and set menus. Every event is entrusted to an independent chef we have personally selected, tested and approved, then orchestrated by our team from the first call to the last plate. The result is living gastronomy, designed for your event rather than for a production line, across Paris and the whole of Île-de-France.
Not a caterer, a gastronomic coordinator.
A chef, a menu written for the occasion, a service team that knows how to disappear when it should: that is what your guests remember. We select the chef, compose the menu with you, coordinate service, wine and logistics, and stay accountable for the whole evening.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Prémices catering cost?
Every event is quoted to measure: the budget depends on the number of guests, the format, the menu and the options chosen (sommellerie, service staff, tableware). Reference points are on our pricing page, and a detailed quote follows within 24 hours.
For which types of event?
Christenings, first communions, birthdays, cocktails, seminars, galas, afterworks, launches, private dinners and receptions. If your event fits no category, describe it to us and we will find the right format.
What is the minimum and maximum number of guests?
From an intimate dinner to receptions of several hundred guests. For small groups at home, our private chef service is often the better fit.

By default the chef uses the venue's tableware. If you need additional tableware, glassware, furniture or decoration, we arrange the rental through our partners, and everything is included in the quote.
Where do you cater?
Our catering teams work in Paris and throughout Île-de-France. For private chef dinners further afield, on the French Riviera or in the Alps, see our private chef pages.
