Plan Your Party

Event Check-list

Our team of experienced professionals is ready to work with you on your event. No matter the detail, we will be with you throughout the planning process.

Things to consider before you start:

• Determine your budget
• Make the guest list
• Pick a location
• Set a date and time for your event

Seating

Seated meals
Work well at formal events such as weddings, galas, or where presentation will take place.

Standing Receptions

Work well with for events with limited space, a short time, or where you want to encourage mingling and networking. Consider having your guests stand and place some cabaret tables around the room.

Beer and Wine

Offering beer and wine as the only alcoholic options is cost effective.

Full Bar

Events with large crowds or gatherings may call for a bar with full options. Please let your event planner know if you would like to serve specialty drinks.

Food Presentation Methods

Passed hors d oeuvres

This option works for any event, either as a pre dinner appetizer or as the sole service of the party. They are easy to hold in your hand, offer variety to the menu and easy to serve. However, keep in mind that it takes wait staff to pass hors d oeuvres which may increase your personnel estimate.

Stationary Hors d'oeuvres

Works well for receptions where guests arrive intermittently or move around.

Buffet

A popular service choice and is familiar to everyone. This option is a good venue for offering a variety of menu choices.

Seated Dinner

At a plated meal, our uniformed wait staff will serve plated courses to individual diners.
