Venue and kitchen in the same hands
We run the venue and prepare the catering ourselves, rather than renting the hall to an outside caterer or the other way round. For anyone organising an event that means one point of contact instead of two, and one schedule instead of two that have to be aligned.
It also matters on the day itself. If something needs to change mid-event - moving the service, adding a table, extending a break - the decision is made in the room rather than over the phone to a subcontractor.
Who we work with
The venue sits in the centre of Wroclaw, surrounded by the offices of international companies, so a substantial part of the calendar is business events: team parties, banquets, galas and Christmas parties. Alongside those we host private receptions - mainly weddings and school proms.
These two worlds have different requirements. A corporate event needs predictability, a schedule and an invoice; a wedding needs flexibility and patience with changes two weeks beforehand. We handle both, without pretending they are the same thing.

What we handle ourselves
Beyond the kitchen we also take on the production side of an event, which in practice means one contract and one phone number instead of six suppliers to coordinate.

Responsibility for what we serve
We source produce from regional suppliers and build menus around what is in season. Surplus food is offered first to clients, then to staff, and where possible passed to charities or local community fridges.
Nearly all of our staff are employed on permanent contracts. Stability in the team translates directly into how an event runs - staff who know the building make fewer mistakes.

Frequently asked questions
Do you have your own kitchen?
Yes, we prepare the catering ourselves. This distinguishes us from halls let without catering: the menu, the service schedule and the waiting staff are all on one side, so there is nothing to coordinate between two companies.
What kinds of event do you host most often?
Corporate events - team parties, banquets, galas, Christmas parties and picnics - and private receptions, mainly weddings and school proms. Scale starts at 100 guests and reaches 500.
How long has the venue been running?
Since 2009, at ul. Kazimierza Wielkiego 1 in Wroclaw, with around 30 events a year.
Who runs the venue?
Dariusz Senkowski, the owner of Times Event Center. The company runs the hall and the kitchen together, and nearly all staff are on permanent contracts.
Do you carry public liability insurance?
Yes - a standard question in corporate requests for proposal, so we answer it before it is asked.
Do you cater for special diets?
Yes. Every menu includes vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. We also prepare menus in line with planetary diet principles, which corporate clients increasingly ask about.
