How it works

We build the night around your table

01

Tell us the shape of it

Date, headcount, and the feel you're after — seated dinner, cocktail reception, or something in between.

02

We design the menu

Family-style Nikkei, a chef's tasting, or passed bites with a pisco bar. Allergies and dietary needs built in.

03

You show up

One coordinator, one contract, one contact on the night. Sound, seating, and timing handled.
