A family lunch that brings together grandparents, cousins and friends, without anyone spending the day cooking.
Group specialist, 30 to 60 guests
First communion, solemn communion or profession of faith: in each case the family travels, sometimes from far away, and these gatherings are rare. Hosting forty people at home means weeks of preparation. La Marina takes on communion meals for 10 to 60 guests in Agde.
The menu is chosen in advance, in a format that suits grandparents and children alike. The service leaves time for conversation, photographs and the presentation of gifts to the child being celebrated.
A communion meal usually runs to three hours. We space the courses so guests can move between tables, which is precisely the point of these gatherings. The child being celebrated is seated where everyone can see them, for the photographs as much as for the presents.
A communion often gathers children from six to sixteen. We provide a children's menu for the youngest and an adult portion for teenagers, who no longer want a children's plate. A cousins' table works well, as long as it stays within sight of the parents.
The cake or tiered cake can be brought in, kept chilled and presented with dessert. Plan a moment for the gifts, usually before dessert, and a clear space for the group photograph: on the terrace the late-lunch light is well suited to it.
