FAQ
Common Questions
What is the difference between an aperitif, cocktail dinner, buffet and seated meal?
An aperitif welcomes guests or precedes the meal. A cocktail dinner encourages conversation, a buffet offers choice and freedom, while a seated meal creates a more elegant and structured atmosphere. Millennium recommends the format that best suits the pace and spirit of the event.
How many items should be planned for a corporate cocktail dinner?
The quantity depends on the duration and whether the cocktail accompanies or replaces a meal. Millennium creates a balanced selection of cold bites, hot items, desserts and, if desired, a chef-led station. The aim is to provide a generous and varied meal that is easy to enjoy while standing.
Which Millennium spaces can be privately hired for an aperitif or cocktail?
L'Espace, the Montreux Jazz Club Millennium, the Verrière, the Art Gallery, L'Épicerie and La Cave can host different formats. La Cave suits small groups and tastings, the Club offers a lounge and music-led atmosphere, while L'Espace welcomes larger receptions.
Can menus be adapted for allergies and dietary requirements?
The chefs can provide vegetarian, vegan and other dietary alternatives. Guests' needs are considered in advance to create a menu that remains inclusive, enjoyable and consistent for the whole group.
Can Millennium host a business meal or working lunch?
Meal trays served in conference rooms, buffets, business lunches, seated meals or a menu at the Brasserie adapt to the pace of the day. A meeting remains efficient, while a client meal can place greater emphasis on the setting, service and food-and-wine pairing.
Can we include live cooking or a tasting workshop?
The chefs can cook in front of guests and create a gourmet experience around seasonal ingredients, seafood or desserts. La Cave and L'Épicerie also host wine and Champagne tastings accompanied by regional products.
Are furniture, tableware and service included in a reception?
The service can bring together furniture, tables, chairs, cocktail tables, tableware, glassware, linen, setup and hospitality. Special furniture, themed colours, flowers or a personalised welcome can then adapt the reception to the company's image.
Can we serve Swiss wines and create food-and-wine pairings?
The wine list highlights Swiss wines, notably from Vaud and Valais, alongside international references and Champagnes. The sommelier can create pairings for the menu or host a convivial tasting in La Cave.
