Catering in Île-de-France.

Bespoke catering for every event in Île-de-France.

Île-de-France has a density of occasions unique in France: executive dinners in La Défense head offices, launch cocktails in Golden Triangle hôtels particuliers, receptions in Seine-et-Marne châteaux, birthdays in upscale apartments in the Hauts-de-Seine. Each setting calls for a precise gastronomic answer.

Prémices is not a classic caterer. It is a gastronomic agency that selects, coordinates and deploys chefs for your events, with the same standards whatever the format, number of guests or location in the region. Our clients in Île-de-France rate us 4.9/5 on Google, across several hundred events. For all our formats, see our catering page.

Regional coverage: Paris and beyond.

Prémices works across every department of Île-de-France, from the Paris arrondissements to the furthest towns.

• Paris is the heart of our catering activity: dinners in Haussmann apartments, cocktails in private spaces, galas in exceptional venues of the 7th or 16th. See catering in Paris.
• Versailles and the Yvelines are a territory of their own: bourgeois houses, properties with parkland, remarkable architecture. See catering in Versailles.
• Boulogne-Billancourt and Neuilly-sur-Seine account for a large share of our Hauts-de-Seine clients: upscale residences, contemporary villas, executive apartments. See Boulogne-Billancourt and Neuilly-sur-Seine.

For events in a prestige setting (château, estate, rooftop), Prémices has a network of partner venues in Île-de-France available on request. Discover our exceptional venues.

Events that call for a caterer in Île-de-France.

Corporate events

Île-de-France hosts the head offices of most major French groups and many international subsidiaries. Prémices supports leadership teams with executive dinners, year-end parties, client cocktails and residential seminars with meals included. Our references in the region include Air Liquide, LVMH, IBM and Bouygues Construction, events where culinary quality sends a strong signal to participants.

Private receptions and celebrations

Milestone birthdays, christenings, first communions, family receptions on a large property: Prémices takes care of the culinary side of your private celebrations. The chef brings the produce, handles the whole service and leaves the place in order, so you are entirely free for your guests.

Events in exceptional venues

Châteaux of the Oise and Seine-et-Marne, Parisian hôtels particuliers, estates with parkland in the Yvelines: the region has an exceptional heritage for entertaining. Prémices works in these spaces with the right logistics: coordination with the venue manager, floor service with a maître d'hôtel if needed, food and wine pairing with a sommelier. One contact from start to finish.

"A wonderful experience for a business dinner for eight. The chef and maître d'hôtel duo was flawless and the menu of great quality. Highly recommended." Amélie Quidor, HR Director, Bouygues Construction

The Prémices selection: tested and approved chefs.

Every chef in the Prémices network is assessed before working for any client: cooking technique, quality of plating, hygiene standards, punctuality and professional manner. Only then does a chef join the network. This selection is what sets Prémices apart from an open marketplace, and it guarantees a consistent experience across the region, whether the event takes place in an apartment in the 8th or a property in the Essonne.

For culinary entertainment (wine tastings, cheese workshops, group cooking classes), some of our network hold the title of Meilleur Ouvrier de France. If you are looking for a chef for a dinner at your table only, our private chef in Île-de-France offers the right formats.
