Culinary experiences that make you stand out
Event catering doesn't quite capture what Vermaat Events has to offer. You can expect culinary experiences that truly make an impression! With over 8,000 events annually at more than 50 locations across the Netherlands, they rightfully earn the title of a logistical powerhouse.
From corporate caterer to culinary entity
It’s inspiring to see how Vermaat Events originated from a pure passion for the craft. The parent company, Vermaat Groep, started in 1978 as a delicatessen shop and evolved into a specialist in tailor-made hospitality services. In 2006, the Partyservice label was created, supporting corporate events at various Vermaat Groep locations from a central production kitchen. They also provided party services for regular clients at other locations. In 2018, Vermaat acquired the Food Fantasies label, focusing on more exclusive events for a high-end clientele. In 2024, these two labels were unified under one name: Vermaat Events.
Big and bold
Vermaat Events excels in execution, which isn't surprising when you consider their impressive track record! They count some of the most prestigious brands in their portfolio. For example, they handle VIP catering and private lounges at the KLM Open and the Dutch Grand Prix. “We are equipped to manage large crowds, making us a logistical powerhouse. In addition to hosting large high-end events, we also excel in everything we do. This means no challenge is too big, and no detail is too small. It's all about creating a sublime experience, with a conceptual approach to the food experience. To make a grand impact, your event doesn't need to be large in scale. That's the beauty of it; for every client and every event, we create a unique culinary experience with a twist,” explains Romy Alberts, Marketer at Vermaat Events.
With a sparkle and a twist
“What we do, we do with complete dedication. Every colleague at Vermaat Events genuinely loves working in this field. The passion for food, drinks, and creating beautiful concepts is something you can see in everyone,” says Romy. “Our employees have a sparkle, and it’s contagious. Our team gets excited about creating something truly amazing, especially because every project is custom-made, tailored to the DNA of our clients. Culinary concepts with a unique touch are the signature of Vermaat Events. That makes it extra fun and playful. You can see that our employees effortlessly convey their passion and enthusiasm to our clients and their guests.”
Unique venues for your event
The locations offered by Vermaat Events further emphasize the diversity of what’s possible. Romy explains, “We truly provide a stunning overall package, allowing us to wow our clients’ guests with taste, ambiance, and sensations. The right venue, of course, plays a crucial role in this. With more than 50 locations, we offer a wide range—from urban to natural settings and everything in between.” A quick glance at their venue portfolio shows that Vermaat Events not only excels in culinary experiences but also provides unique backdrops for your events. Think of places like Artis, the Stedelijk Museum, Circuit Zandvoort, and Naturalis.
Classy, Catchy & Responsible
“We want to continue inspiring our clients and venues. That’s why we publish our annual EventMgzn., packed with pages of inspiration. It features the latest trends, the most exciting food and drinks, unique ideas, event case studies, and event locations. We want to show people what can be achieved with culinary excellence, especially when you dare to color outside the lines and make a statement with your event,” says Romy. Vermaat Events doesn’t just follow orders; they prefer to form a partnership with clients to create impact together and connect people through food and drink. “Our goal is always to amaze and delight guests. Our customized culinary concepts contribute to that. But we go further. We organize events in a responsible way, offering, for example, net-positive dinners. This makes our service a beautifully complete package—Classy, Catchy & Responsible,” Romy adds.
