Henson DinnerBanquet

Smaller Exchange Club meeting today. We did however go through all 10 salads! Service went great; no issues

For the report I will be using bullet points. \*Guests arrived a little early, but the bar was ready. They also sat on time for dinner with the exception of the McKnights who were late. \*Dinner service was very swift throughout all the courses. There was a lag with dessert service because we had so many to go boxes to do for the guests. I told staff to personally box their leftovers and to not let the members do it themselves. We probably easily boxed up 10 or more steaks before the dessert course. \*The last couple stayed a little late but all was well.

This event was held in the Loggia Amazing weather for Mr. Forrester and his guests on the back patio tonight. He arrived early and said that everything looked amazing. They weren't heavy drinkers by any means but Jake and Stephen stayed on top of wine service throughout regardless. Staff did amazing as always and they kill these wine dinners every single time. Absolutely no hiccups except for the bread situation

As far as service goes with this, staff did great with the circumstances provided. They were almost 10 people over on the count after we had adjusted the room from 85 to 45 as soon as we got in this morning. We inevitably had to add extra seats, making some of the 5ft rounds 10 and 11 tops. Because of this we ended up using both the fish and chicken for the extra guests, and Jake and Khoris were able to secure some sorbets just in case they wanted dessert (since we were short) Everyone left happy!

We were short just two ladies for this garden club. Kevin spearheaded service and it went great. No service issues

This event was held in the Lounge/Veranda/Loggia. Everything was set and 100% ready to go before even the early-comers and hosts arrived. One thing that's been helping us for cocktail parties of this size is having a few wrapped tray jacks and trays placed around the room. Near the beginning of the event, Marquitta, Stephen and I spoke with Kate Bailey to check in and she mentioned the hostess wanted mini hot dogs as well; "like how they had at Gov Ball". Chris and the kitchen team halved all the hot dogs afterwards. The oysters went fast once everyone was comfortable to start going through the buffet. Since they only ordered 100 we removed the table as a whole once the oysters were gone. The toast went off well and the party seemed to simmer down greatly afterwards. Everything went well as a whole! Staff killed it staying on the floor clearing and checking in on the bars.
