Williamson Rehearsal DinnerBanquet

This event was held in the Lounge. Not much to say.. everyone arrived in a timely manner and they followed their itinerary, so everything went out as planned. We did have a request for a microphone, but due to us being in the Lounge, we were unable to accommodate; they were fine with this. Everything went well! No issues to report

guest began arriving at 815am. i took their lunch orders at 830. they all ordered salad bar. the meeting began right at 830. jesse and shantia had everything set and ready to go. periodically they would email jami for certain items: hot tea, more decaf coffee, diet cokes and dessert after lunch. they all went down at abot 1130 for salad bar. along with dessert they ordered velvet hammers.

This event was held in the Lounge. Taylor and Greg ran point on checking in with them periodically and dropping food. Once their lunch arrived from TH a little after 11:30, we started to put it out; however the host told Greg that we should put it on one of the side tables and they'd grab it at 11:45. But as we all began to do so, he asked us to go ahead and pass it out person by person as we were before. Anyways.. everyone got their lunch and all went well!

This event was held in the Lounge. Bit of a slow start on this one, but once everyone arrived and grabbed drinks they tore through the buffet for about an hour or so. The veranda bar was extremely slow the whole time. Could have gone either without it or made it a single bar instead of double. No issues with the timeline; they did toasts and cake with passed Chandon right on time at 6 and we were able to close the bars at 7:30 with no pushback.

This event was held in the Lounge and Veranda. Everything went well. There was tons of compliments. I will say that this event did NOT need 3 bars. 1 Lounge bar with 1 bartender and a back up bartender/bar back. The alcohol sales/consumption will show that 3 bars were unnecessary and it was just too hot to go outside.

\*During the setup of the wedding, everything went well except for the PDR setup. We were not told that there wasn't going to be chiavaris in all the rooms. So the PDR was set banquet chairs. Some of the chairs were also missing cushions so we swapped out some of the barstools and put them away. \*At the last minute we did accommodate a request for the lounge furniture to be moved in the ballroom in addition to the furniture that was already in the ballroom around the dance floor. Kate said she had a discussion with Jami about the furniture previously, but I do not believe be true. \*Joe did mention that he had a very unpleasant interaction with the photographer because she wanted to use lover's lane for pictures. She was upset that there was furniture in the way. During weddings we normally put the unwanted patio furniture on lover's lane, unless requested to move elsewhere. \*The reception did start late, but time was cut from other areas and the introduction of the bride and groom did start on time. Subsequently everything did start on time. \*Cake cutting was awkward because, because they announced the cutting of the cake. The guests filled the lounge while the bride and groom cut the cake and did the champagne toast. The guests did not know that they cake was not real so they were waiting for the cake to be cut. We were on time with the cake being served, but there might have been less than 5 minutes of a delay between the couple cutting the cake and us serving the sheet cake. \*Quite a few times Kate asked about clearing and bussing the tables. The staff did an awesome job of clearing and staying on the floor which can also be seen on the cameras. Tiffany, Justin, Jonathan, and Dallah had carts of glasses dishes numerous times. The Kate asked the bartenders about clearing and even they mentioned how staff was constantly on the floor clearing. \*All in all everything went well. There were quite a few discrepancies with what Kate "asked for' vs what was in the BEO. Im quite confident in saying she never mentioned certain items to Jami at all.
