2nd Party

The second hospitality on Tuesday, 3/7 involved more preparing since it included a rolling bar and bartender. The hospitality took place in suite 761 which is right down the hall from the first hospitality earlier in the night. The room was not occupied before the party so it was a bit easier to set the hospitality and the bar without interrupting the guest. The bar consisted of our Diamond Liquors selection which included Crown Royal, Kaluha, Dewar’s, Beefeaters, Absolute, Bacardi, Jose Cuervo, an assortment of domestic and imported beers, Champagne, and an assortment of our red and white house wines. We set the bar up outside and had convention services set up two tables behind the bar for glasses. The bar was placed outside on the patio to spread out the guest by having the guest circulate from inside to outside. The desserts were very similar to the first party because the chef double the same dessert pattern to save time and money. The only difference was this hospitality had cold chips and salsa and guacamole instead of the hot appetizers provided in the last hospitality. I bartended the event and also acted as the greeter. The event did have a twist when the client called and wanted the hospitality to start a half an hour earlier than originally planned. The time change did not effect the event since we were set in the room and we had already placed the desserts, bar, and coffee station. There was no hot food so the chef did not need to make appetizers on the fly. Once I heard about the change in time I headed up to the event to greet people at the door. Once my captain showed up I went back to the bar to make drinks. Periodically during the party I would make rounds to clean up dishes and glasses left. The event went very smooth and the client was impressed that the time change did not affect the fluent manner of the party. The clean-up process took a little longer during this event because we had to roll away the bar and pack up all the glasses and tables. The room was returned to its normal state and the client was impressed at how fast we transformed the suite.
