Client request:
We need help with pre-event setup, light kitchen assistance, setting out appetizers and food, keeping serving areas organized, clearing plates and glassware, loading/unloading the dishwasher, washing dishes and serving pieces as needed, taking out trash/recycling, wiping down counters and common areas, transitioning from appetizers to dinner and then dessert, packaging/storing leftovers, and post-event cleanup.
I’d also like help pouring premade drinks for guests as needed. There won’t be any bartending or cocktail mixing, just things like wine, premade sangria, and non-alcoholic beverages such as water and soda.
Dinner will be self-serve buffet style, so guests will serve themselves. The only plated meals I’d need help preparing are two plates for my elderly grandparents. Thank you!
