Institutional events
Rigor and discretion. Selected, vetted staff, timing aligned with protocol, a service that must never draw attention to itself. Experience at summits and meetings between heads of state.
- 01
Protocol sets the pace
At an institutional meeting the schedule is not a guideline: it is a constraint. The service slots in between speeches, signings and transfers, and every course has a precise window in which it can enter the room. The menu is designed around that window, not the other way around.
- 02
Vetted staff
Teams are communicated in advance and subjected to checks. There are no improvised substitutions on the day, and whoever enters the room was accredited days earlier: it means working with a stable pool of people who know each other and know the trade.
- 03
Restricted access
This is the part that complicates everything. Vehicles and materials come in at set times, through set entry points, with lists that cannot be changed. A kitchen that would normally take two hours to set up has to be set up in the window you are given, and whatever has not come in stays out.

A service that goes unnoticed
Here the measure of success is reversed: a successful service is one nobody talks about. Measured movements, low voices, no clatter of cutlery at the wrong moment. Discretion is not shyness; it is technique.
Frequently asked questions
Is the staff vetted?
Yes. For institutional events we work with selected, vetted staff, and we provide in advance the name lists required by security procedures. We have experience at summits and meetings between heads of state.
How do you coordinate with protocol?
The timing of the service aligns with protocol, not the other way around. We receive the official running order and build the service moments on it, including restricted access and separate routes for the brigade.
