What A Butler Adds To Your Event
A Butler is a great choice to hire when you are hosting a small dinner party or event. They are so much more that people who can serve the food! Butlers are the ultimate hospitality professionals. And they can do anything from welcoming guests. Setting the table. Serving food and drinks. Helping with food and drinks prep – including cocktail making! Opening those tricky bottles of wine and champagne. And help with all the finishing touches.
Butlers are extremely organised and full of ideas when it comes to hosting. They can help you create party themes, and execute them in style. They will be there for you at hand to help with anything. From set up to clearing up. And of course to be the go-to person during the party to make sure everything is running smoothly.
What A Chef Adds To Your Event
It is almost self-explanatory what a chef could add to your dinner party or event. But hiring a private chef is firstly more affordable than people think. But it is also not just the cooking on the night that would be done.
Chefs know like no other how to throw a dinner party. Are you looking for a specific theme? Your chef can create a full menu around it. Not sure where to source the best produce? Leave it to your chef to bring all the supplies so that you don’t even have to worry about shopping. Anyone on the night who might have some allergies or dietary requirements? Your chef will be able to adapt at the last minute. To make sure everyone feels included. And everyone is having the 5-star meal they can only dream of.
Other Staff To Consider
When it comes to hiring staff for your dinner party or event, there are other options you could consider too. A temporary Housekeeper could be a great option. Especially if you normally do not have a Housekeeper of a cleaner. It can make a big difference after the event, but also before. A temp housekeeper can make sure that your house and party area is looking spotlessly clean. And they can also work beautiful finishing touches such as flower arrangements to suit your event. And of course, they can be there after the event or the next day to clean everything up to the highest standard!
Another great option to consider is a nanny for the evening. If you have children, and if your guests want to bring children. Then it can be a great option to have a nanny there for the evening to entertain the kids. So that you know they are looked after and having a great night as well. Whilst you can focus on hosting the dinner party of your dreams!
