Putting People Before Profit! (At least for our Supperclubs!) Ever wonder what goes into planning just one of our fabulous Supper Club events? Let me and chef Kali Jago pull back the curtain for you. Picture this: a whirlwind of creativity and coordination, spanning two months of preparation. We're talking endless recipe testing (seriously, 8++ trials until it's perfect! - thankfully we have great friends with good taste!), strategic marketing, ticket sales frenzy, and then diving into the nitty-gritty logistics. We're not just talking about setting tables and picking out the perfect playlist (though that's crucial too). It's about curating an unforgettable experience from start to finish. From managing guest lists and seating plans to ensuring every drink is perfectly poured, every dish impeccably presented, and every guest feels like the VIP they are. But why do we do it? It's simple. We're in love with food and service. We thrive on those moments of connection, both with the incredible people who attend and the amazing brands that support us. Huge shoutout to our partners who make it all possible, like @blacklinesdrinks, @drinknewtheory, and @honesttoil. And of course, a big round of applause to our fantastic guests like Lorraine Copes, Ryan Brown, Biff Burrows, and countless others who bring energy and excitement to every event. You're the real MVPs! So next time you're savouring that delicious dish or clinking glasses with new friends, remember, it's not just about the food or the drinks—it's about the people. Here's to many more unforgettable moments together! 🥂 #PeopleFirst

Before contacting a catering company for a corporate event, it's best to first clarify what needs to be included within the budget. Is the presented budget just for the food and beverages or is it to include rentals, flowers, entertainment, and transportation?

For an event, balance budget and guest experience with your drink service choice. A cash bar is cost-effective but may disappoint guests expecting complimentary drinks and requires smooth transactions. A tips-inclusive bar covers costs while encouraging tips, but needs clear communication ahead of time and a reminder at the event. A ticketed drink system provides a set number of free drinks and allows additional purchases, managing expenses while ensuring guests are satisfied. Generally, a ticketed system offers a good balance of simplicity and cost control. To lessen bar lines, consider a passed cocktail or experiential drink table that catches the attendees eye and is a good photo opt. Mocktails are also a very popular option these days and budget friendly. Liquid Caterers, LLC is one of the best at the visual aspects of drinks and the presentations is always on point!
