Table setting is so important. Make sure your silverware is placed properly. Pieces of silverware or cutlery are placed on both sides of the plate, in the order in which they will be used, starting with those on the outside. This method prevents guests from making mistakes and gives them an indication of what will be served. The large table knife, the fish knife, and the soup spoon are placed to the right of the plate.

Here are some pointers for you:

On the left you place the table fork, the fish fork, and the oyster or melon fork, if required. Dessert cutlery - spoon and fork - are placed between the plate and the glasses, with the handle of the spoon towards the right, and the handle of the fork to the left. Alternatively, they can be brought to the table at the time dessert is served. We hope this was helpful!

What a difference it makes to know you are dealing with professionals. This will either make or break your event. Your peace of mind is of upmost importance to our team.
