Brannen Cup PairingsBanquet

Easy day for the folks at the WH. We had originally taken their seating down to 15 by request, but upon arrival we were asked to add the other table again. They were very quick with their meeting and were out by 1-1:15. No issues

Very seamless night tonight. Luckily we put ourselves in a really good position last night with setup, so once today rolled around we didn't have much to do except some housekeeping items. The wedding party was, of course, late but it didn't put us back much. All of our key items on the timeline were executed without hiccups! We were definitely proven wrong about our doubts with the passed mint juleps and putting the derby on the Lounge TV; a lot of guests did take part. In fact, once it was on and the cigar roller was here guests spent the majority of their time outside and in the Lounge. This made the ballroom look borderline empty for quite some time. We had a few guests try to help themselves even though Akaria was at the bar but that was squashed right away. All in all a very easy night.

This event took place in the Lounge/Veranda/Loggia. Dinner service went extremely well and on time! Tiffany and the rest of the staff did a great job staying present and on the floor...and clearing and serving swiftly to get through their timeline. Janae, Akaria and Dallah stayed on top of wine service all throughout and passing champagne for the toasts. We did have a group of about 4 come in when we were almost through serving but we were able to get them food asap. Later, however, we had another group of a couple people that missed dinner and the father of the groom wanted meals for them. At this point it was well past 8 and the welcome party had started. Marquitta spoke to the member-sponsor and they did not want to buy them food from downstairs, so they were advised to partake in the slew of apps that were available instead. Other than that, everything went very well! Proud of all of the staff for tonight's execution

Very quick lunch for the gentlemen today; they arrived early, before 12, and left before 1. Short of the expected 20 with only 13 guys showing for lunch. No issues, the flip for cocktail hour will be very quick and easy

This event took place in the Lounge. Mrs. Hobbs and the crew arrived early for setup and were done just in time! I had 45 guaranteed and Chris had 50, but we ended up pretty short, with around only 35 (including babies). Everyone enjoyed themselves and Trisha Hobbs was grateful as always! Lots of compliments on the food today

This event took place at the summerhouse. Everyone arrived mostly on time for check-in, with a few stragglers of course. Having assigned seating this time around generally went ok..it was just a very sunny day so we had to do a lot of adjusting for those who wanted some shade and/or had more or less people in their party. Otherwise everything went very well and everyone enjoyed their time! Lots of compliments from the membership, no issues
