Over the last few months, Wild Rice restaurant where I work has had quite a few parties booked and I have had to arrange some of them. The table settings and flower arrangements depend on the purpose of the occasion.
For example, in the picture below, we arranged this table for a dinner meeting and it took us one hour to get it perfect.
And in the following picture, we arranged a huge party at the Temple of Literature where we served almost 200 people. It took us 3 hours to arrange these tables.
Moon River Retreat is a peaceful place which has four rooms with garden and river views. This is one of the most popular boutique destinations now. With Vietnamese design in the old house and the guest rooms and a garden with starfruit trees, along with the view of the Red River will make a stay here really memorable.
I always enjoy organising parties for work or for myself, I don't know why. Maybe it's because I have been working in the tourist industry for a long time. I suppose there is some satisfaction in this kind of work, making a place look nice and seeing the guests' reactions.
wow

I'm impressed. There must a lot of knowledge and skill in setting up banquets like that.
ReplyDeleteI have been reading your blog for a while. It brings back a lot of memories about Vietnam for me. Just a curiosity, are you gay?
ReplyDeleteYou are VERY GOOD at what you do. The table settings are very nice and look very appealing. I wish I was eating at both of these places...the atmosphere is lovely.
ReplyDeleteWow, those look like the best tables at the highest-class NY restaurants!
ReplyDeleteI used to enjoy arranging the table when I was a teen and my mother had big family dinners. Now I haven't got the patience for it!
