Event and location
Gala dinner staff in Budapest
Buda Castle, the Danube boats and the downtown palaces are the typical gala venues, where access rules and narrow staircases shape the logistics as much as the service.
Headcount rule of thumb
Plated service: one waiter per 15-20 guests. Buffet: one per 30-40 guests.

What to know about Budapest
Budapest is our base, where our pool is widest and our response time shortest.
Budapest is where we work most: exhibitions at Hungexpo, conferences in downtown hotels, galas in the Castle District, festivals in City Park and along the Danube. That means our teams know the venues, the vehicle access rules and which gate to actually walk through.
In the capital we cast from a pool of several thousand, so we can staff urgent requests and don't have to compromise on selection even for large headcounts.
