When we start our relationship with our clients for their event, it is very likely that we will need 5 things from you, besides the obvious things like where, when, who, etc. So what are those 5 things, you ask? Let us share! Even when we are simply bar-tending or just providing wait staff for your event, we almost always need your Timeline, Vendor List, Layout, Menu, and Rental Order(s). Knowing all of these things ahead of time allows us to leave you alone so you can relax with your guests.
We admit, sometimes this can confuse clients, allow us to explain.
The Timeline: Our wait staff and bartenders do set up/clean up for your event, allowing you to relax and get yourself ready, or maybe share a more intimate moment with family before your guests arrive. We need to know the plans for food so that we can use all of our tricks up our sleeve to time things just right so that all of your guests get what they want as quickly as possible in an organized calm manner. Last, we need to know so that we can begin clean up/tear down of tables and chairs and settings, soft closing the bar, things like that.
The Vendor List: It is often that you as the client get overwhelmed by the details of what it takes to create a customized smooth event. Even more often, these details can get lost in the shuffle as the time gets closer and you are more consumed with the event coming. We prefer to have the list of other vendors we will be working with so that we may communicate with them directly on your behalf about pro details!
The Layout: Our staff includes set up and clean up of table settings as well as tables and chairs. The layout of the event helps us know your vision so that we can make your event look as amazing as you wanted!
The Menu: Our waitstaff are trained to serve in different ways and customized to your liking. We assist chefs in plating, too. We do need to know the menu so that we can go over the style of service, help plating and rimming and get your guests served the correct way and in a timely manner.
Your Rental Order: We need to know what pieces of equipment you have, particularly in the bar but in general also. This is so that we can plan for or bring what isn’t available to us to ensure a professional service and relaxed event
We thank you ahead for allowing us to make YOU a guest at your own party! Love CCPH
