Apart From Food Any details that involve decoration, seating charts, flowers, non-edible party favors, gift tables, DJ & band coordination, party furniture and photography should be handled by our event planner.

Using your event details, we will recommend the minimum number of servers required based on our experience. Our goal is to make your event run smoothly; therefore we have a two-server minimum for events.
