Started in 2005 as an ambitious dream, and now — twenty years later — Alvida Catering & Events has grown into an established name in the culinary and event world.
In 2025 we celebrate ourselves 20th anniversary, a milestone where we proudly run out! For two decades, we have been able to provide the most beautiful events with passion and craftsmanship, from intimate dinners to large-scale parties. This anniversary is not only a celebration of our growth, but above all a thank-you to our customers for their trust and our fantastic team of event heroes that delivers top performance time after time.
The name Alvida not only bears our passion for the profession, but also a personal story:
AL for Alexander, VI for Viktor and DAY for David — three friends with the shared dream of taking culinary perfection and ultimate hospitality to the next level.
At Alvida Catering & Events, it's all about experience. What started as a dream at the kitchen table of three ambitious students from the Hoge Hotel School has grown into a renowned catering company where taste, hospitality and presentation come together.
But Alvida means more. In many languages and cultures, it's associated with saying goodbye in a positive, warm way — like a toast to life, a moment of being together, celebrating, and making memories.
And that's exactly what we do: with our dishes, service and atmosphere, we ensure that every event is a memorable experience where people come together and enjoy.
A Passion For Taste and Quality
At Alvida, every dish starts at the source. Our chef Richard sets out personally to select the best ingredients. He works closely with local farmers and artisan suppliers, people who work with the same passion as us. Whether it's organic beef, fresh fish or crispy vegetables, everything is carefully chosen to guarantee quality and freshness.
Everything comes together in our kitchen. We cook with seasonal products so that each dish retains its full flavor and strength. The sauces are prepared by hand, we make broths as they should, and each plate is a work of art in itself. We don't have mass production, but craftsmanship and attention to detail.
The Perfect Wine for Your Party
Every dish deserves a wine that enhances the whole. Our sommelier Raoul is always looking for special wines that take the taste experience to a higher level. He travels to authentic wineries and hidden gems in France, Italy and Spain to select wines that not only taste great, but also tell a story. A velvety Burgundy, a powerful Barolo or a fresh Sauvignon Blanc — each bottle is carefully selected, tailored to our dishes and presented with passion.
At Alvida, we don't just serve wine; we let you taste, experience and enjoy.
Whether you opt for a matching wine package or customized advice,
Raoul ensures that every sip is a perfect match for the dish.
With an eye for both sophistication and accessibility for a wide audience.
Raoul has already obtained several wine certifications and continues to specialize in order to further expand his expertise.
Our Event Heroes — The Power Behind Every Successful Event
No event is complete without our dedicated team of event heroes. With passion, professionalism and a smile on their face, they ensure that everything runs smoothly. From preparing the most delicious dishes to the perfect presentation and hospitable service,
they take every event to a higher level.
What sets them apart is their attention to detail and their ability to make every guest feel welcome. They are the silent forces behind the scenes, the people who ensure that everything runs smoothly and that every event is a unique and unforgettable experience. Without them, we would not be able to host the wonderful parties and events that Alvida is famous for.
More than Catering — An Experience
A good event stays with you. It's the atmosphere, the music, the smells and the flavours that blend into an unforgettable memory. That's why we do more than just cook and serve; we create a total experience. From an intimate dinner in a romantic setting to a spectacular company party with live cooking and champagne bars, we think along and take care of everything from start to finish.
