info@goldiestablematters.comDuring Elizabeth’s surprise birthday dinner, the guests were very aware of your presence and this enabled them to ask questions about the wines and the food and they all left knowing more than when they came. At the same time, you disappeared in a good way when that was appropriate to allow guests to talk and for me to coordinate the toasts. Your ability to adapt to our location change and the less than optimal kitchen set-up as another bonus. Thanks again for everything. The ‘event’ was amazing.
