Why is Pineapple the Symbol for Hospitality? In the annals of hospitality, few symbols are as universally recognized as the pineapple. This tropical fruit not only tantalizes the taste buds but also conveys a powerful message of warmth, welcome, and luxury. Let's peel back the layers of history to uncover the heart of this enduring emblem. Historical Significance The story of the pineapple is as rich and exotic as its sweet taste. Originally from South America, this fruit became the epitome of opulence in Europe following its discovery by Christopher Columbus in the 15th century. It symbolized the zenith of wealth and hospitality due to its rarity, cost, and perishability—the ultimate exotic treat to offer a distinguished guest. During the colonial period, hostesses in America would anchor their dining tables with a fresh pineapple as the centerpiece, signaling not only their wealth but also their commitment to providing the utmost care for their guests. This tradition underscored the pineapple's stature as a symbol of hospitality—an elite gesture of generosity and a warm welcome. #hospitality #pineapple #emerge #hotel #serviceexcellence #hotelmanagement

It's often the case with events that there aren't sufficient different spaces within a venue, or indeed your budget doesn't stretch to hiring yet another room, to move each stage of the event to another area.⁠ ⁠ However, a lot can be done by washing a space with a different colour.⁠ ⁠ Think using the breakfast room again post conference for drinks, or turning a civil wedding ceremony space into a cocktail area by removing the chairs and lighting the bar.⁠ #ternevents #exceptionaljerseyevents #jerseyweddingplanning #weddingplannerjersey #jerseyeventplanning #eventplannerjersey #eventlighting⁠ ⁠ Great Fosters Hotel & Restaurants Mark Wallis
