Reception Venue in Copenhagen
A reception is not a dinner with a seating plan and four courses. Guests arrive across a couple of hours, say hello, eat a little, hear a speech and leave again, and some of them stay on. That asks something different of a room: space to stand and talk, enough seats for the people who need one, and a buffet that can stay open while guests come and go.
Our hall at Højdevej 59 in 2300 Copenhagen S can be set up either way for 30 to 120 guests. Seating layouts are flexible, the food is cooked in the building, and staff and cleaning are included. See the room in the gallery or book a visit, and tell us how you picture the day running.

Why Maiya
A reception can sit in the middle of the day
Most receptions happen in the afternoon, between the working day and dinner, and that is exactly the slot most venues do not offer because they only sell evenings. We are happy to take daytime bookings, and an afternoon reception need not cost the same as an evening with a full dinner, because the menu is your choice.
A wedding reception without the dinner
If you are marrying and then gathering family, colleagues and neighbours for a couple of hours of buffet and speeches rather than a full wedding dinner, the reception format is the right one. If it later grows into a full celebration, read about the same room as a wedding venue.
Anniversaries, retirements and openings
Company anniversaries, a milestone birthday marked at work, a retirement reception for a departing colleague, an opening reception for a new business: the setup is the same. There is a projector for photographs and figures from the years behind you, and a sound system for the speeches. See corporate event hire if the day carries on into the evening.
Guests can come and go
Nobody has to be seated at the same moment. We lay the room out with seats for the people who want them and floor space for the people who would rather stand and talk, and the buffet can stay out while guests arrive in waves across the afternoon.
A buffet from our own kitchen
Maiya Nepali Kitchen cooks at this address. For a reception a buffet works better than a served menu, because guests eat when they arrive. Set menus run Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond, there is a Vegetable menu, and any menu can be made fully vegetarian.
Speeches, thanks and a few photographs
The hall has a professional sound system and a projector, so the speech is audible and the pictures go up without hired equipment. That is the part of a reception people remember, and it is also the part that most often goes wrong in a room where you have to arrange the technology yourself.
Frequently asked questions
Can we hold the reception during the day?
Yes. We are glad to host daytime receptions, which suits anniversaries, retirement receptions and openings.
How many guests can you take?
The hall takes 30 to 120 guests. Below 30 we lay tables for you in the Maiya Nepali Kitchen restaurant in the same building instead.
Does everyone have to be seated?
No. Seating layouts are flexible, so we can combine seats and standing space for guests who arrive and leave across a couple of hours.
What do you serve at a reception?
The food comes from our own kitchen and is served as a buffet. You choose between set menus, a Vegetable menu, or a menu built to your request.
Is there equipment for speeches and photographs?
Yes. A professional sound system and a projector are included in the hall booking.
Can we hold a reception first and a party afterwards?
Yes. It is the same hall and the layout can be changed, so an afternoon reception and an evening celebration can happen in the same place.

You can take a soft drinks package, hold the reception with no drinks package, or bring your own drinks for a small charge per guest.
Is there parking for guests?
Yes, there is free on-site parking at Højdevej 59, 2300 Copenhagen S.
