Can we come just for drinks and canapés?

Yes, a standing reception without a full meal is available. We calculate the number of pieces per person for the planned duration.

Can we bring a cake or a large gift?

Yes, tell us when booking: we plan the space and the moment it is brought out.

Can the bill be shared between colleagues?

We issue a single invoice, which is simpler for a departmental collection. Splitting it between colleagues is handled on your side.

Which day works best?

Thursday, when the restaurant opens by reservation for parties of 10 or more: it is the quietest slot for a group that wants to be among themselves.

Group specialist, 30 to 60 guests

Marking a departure without improvising

Farewell drinks held in a meeting room with plastic cups leave no memory at all. Taking the team out changes everything, especially at the end of a career. La Marina hosts farewell parties and retirement meals in Agde for 10 to 60 people, as a standing reception or a seated meal.

We plan the running order with the organiser: when the speech happens, the presentation of the gift, any slideshow or reading of messages, the cake or dessert at the end. The person leaving has nothing to manage, which is the whole point.

Standing reception: shorter, wider

A standing reception lets you invite far more people without committing to a full meal: colleagues from the department, former staff, management. An hour and a half to two hours is enough, with canapés served continuously and a glass in hand for the speech. It is the most flexible format when not everyone can take a whole day.

Seated meal: a proper goodbye

For the end of a career or a significant departure, a seated meal carries more weight. Guests spend two or three hours together, the stories come out, and the speech lands differently. We seat the guest of honour so they can see the whole table.

Speech, gift and cake: the running order

The simplest sequence: speech and gift between the main course and dessert, cake served afterwards, coffee to finish. If you want to bring in a cake from outside or a bulky present, tell us at booking so we can plan the space and the timing.
