The Executive Standard is designed as a complete and self-contained experience. In certain cases, the scope of service may be thoughtfully adjusted to meet the specific needs of the gathering.
A selection of additional services - including logistical coordination, glassware sourcing, specialty ice, and presentation support - is available on the Concierge page.
When the flow of the evening naturally calls for it, the Master Mixologist's presence may continue beyond the initial service window. Such considerations are addressed discreetly and without interrupting the integrity of the experience.
