AU GraduationBanquet

Good night for the MCG Grad Group. Everything kicked off on time and both the special entrees went out during service with no issues. Not too much to say, pretty cut and dry, and they definitely ran shorter than the previous couple groups. One of the hosts said that we were much quieter when clearing compared to previous years, which is generally always a difficult task; good on the team.

Yet another grad party down for the team. One of the hosts forgot his laptop but said that he texted others in the group to bring one. I assured him if no one brought it then I could give up mine (someone did end up bringing one). Cocktail hour went well, but once it was time for dinner we had a small hiccup with seating. A group of four told Brice and Shantia that they needed a table rolled out for them. They just mixed up some of the seating so there was no need in the end. Service went smoothly, no issues to report!

Absolutely perfect party for the Hocks tonight. Guests arrived promptly and enjoyed about 45 minutes-an hour of cocktailing with Taylor on the bar before the birthday girl showed. The food was out at 6:30 sharp and we preset salads a bit beforehand. Some of the crowd was a bit older and didn't really partake in the after-dinner dancing but enjoyed themselves nonetheless. Cake cutting and dinner service went great. Mr. and Mrs. Hock and friends had an amazing time.

One more grad dinner down. They arrived very slowly between 6-6:45 and didn't sit to eat/go through the buffet until also 7:30. Yet another longer program, which afterwards they enjoyed a couple more cocktails before leaving around 10:30, almost 11. No issues to report

This event was held in the Lounge. They started behind because it took them a while to setup. They ended up using our glasses and some of our silverware as well. Mrs. Lowe was very happy though.

The event went very well and on time. The host was very pleased. They did go over the original guest count, but there was plenty of food.
