The occasions

Social events

Vernissages, gala parties, evenings built around art and theater. Here more than anywhere, visual impact counts: everything is stagecraft, and the service is part of it.

  1. 01

    The service is part of the scene

    At an evening built around art or theater, the setup is not a backdrop: it is half the message. The trays, the uniforms, the way the waiters cross the room are designed together with whoever is curating the event, because everything that moves ends up in the frame.

  2. 02

    How many there really are

    This is the variable that makes these events different from all the others. Five hundred invitations go out; three hundred or seven hundred people may show up, and you find out once the evening is already under way. We size for a range and keep a reserve ready, out of sight.

  3. 03

    Hours of continuous arrivals

    There is no single moment of service: there is a whole evening in which people arrive, circulate, leave. A buffet that is perfect at nine and plundered by eleven has failed. Replenishment is constant and invisible, and the brigade rotates so as not to reach the finale tired.

    In the venues that host us

    Museums, foundations, theaters, in the city and beyond: spaces with real constraints, where nothing is set down just anywhere and certain areas remain untouchable. The setup is agreed with those who look after the venue, and it is they who dictate where we can be.

Frequently asked questions

Is the service visible, or does it stay in the background?

Here the service is part of the scene. At a vernissage or a gala evening everything is stagecraft — the counters, the trays, the movement of the staff — so the setup is designed together with whoever is curating the event, not separately.

How do you handle continuous arrivals?

With hours of continuous arrivals there is no single moment of service: replenishment never stops, and the count of people actually present matters more than the number of invitations. That is what we size for.
