Mayson + Arnett Rehearsal Banquet
Jack Montgomery 54 covers Wallace House
The Report
Busy busy night for us at the Wallace House. Everyone arrived about 30 minutes early but sat for dinner almost 30 minutes late.
They absolutely killed the buffet. We would have benefitted from having backup bowls/plates/etc. I think the stations were a bit silly and caused chaos for no reason. Staff stayed on the floor and made it work as always
Once we finally got around to cutting cake (they did not do the picture until after speeches so we had to rush and get cake served at 8:15-8:30 before the post-toast started) we realized that it was genuinely only big enough for about 20 people....
Not really important but I am totally a wizard and did the craziest surgery on that cake to stretch it for about 45 pieces (your welcome)
We offered Velvet Hammers to those who did not get cake before anyone else, but I don't think anyone really noticed or cared.
All-in-all nothing really went on time for this group but I spoke with Mr. Mayson many times throughout the night and he was super super happy the whole time

Social-Dancing
Social tonight went as well as it always does, and on time.
We haven't been this staffed for a Social (or dinner in general) in quite some time, so I definitely could have split the ballroom into two teams. The new hires did well for the most part, just need some polishing on service.
Nevertheless, all the special entrees went out perfectly fine, everything went well

Susan 35th Anniversary
Rocky start for these folks. They were over an hour late, had an add-on (Chris had an extra beef so no worries there), and there was a lot of confusion with the name cards.
When they finally got started all went well and normal though. No issues

Natalie Thompson 40th
This event was held in the Lounge.
No food, just bev. Khoris kept a watchful eye on the bar for the ladies while Shannon and Dallah put the finishing touches on our reset for Social tonight. This was a pretty quick one, they were gone before 3!

Rick Allen Cocktail
Low-key little cocktail party for Rick Allen and friends tonight. They didn't eat or drink too much and by the end of his first speech many guests started trickling out. I made sure to check in with Laura Dunaway every so often. Everything went well, no issues

Spade & Trowel
This event was held in the Lounge.
Lots of IT problems....their projector didn't work, dead batteries in the mic (again). Thankfully I found a battery just laying around.......
Anyways, everything went well on our end. The "no pepper" entree didn't show. Staff did great as always, no issues

GA Profits
Chaotic for no reason as GA Profits always is....
We had people in and out, or just arriving, or leaving and not actually part of the event all during our ordering process. We didn't get the entree count back to the kitchen until at least 7:30. But service went well, no complaints from that end. Staff did great as always taking care of the gentlemen
