Gala dinner staff in Székesfehérvár

The historic centre's event houses and Bory Castle are the typical gala venues, where a listed setting limits both technical set-up and how a room can be laid.

Headcount rule of thumb

Plated service: one waiter per 15-20 guests. Buffet: one per 30-40 guests.

What to know about Székesfehérvár

An industrial centre close to Budapest, with a short travel time.

Most work here comes from industry: supplier days, plant visits and corporate events. City cultural programmes and sports events add a steady baseline.

The M7 means a Budapest crew arrives quickly, so larger headcounts aren't limited to local capacity. It's one of the most flexible venues outside the capital.
