Mrs. Starkey’s Entertaining Etiquette and Protocols

Description

Starkey’s Entertainment Publication has it all for the High-Net-Worth home.  Developed over many years supporting our Entertainment curriculum, we have fully presented what we call The Ballet of Service.  The Formal Dinner from the hosts perspective, the server’s perspective, and from the guest’s perspective, it all comes alive.

Starkey has been teaching the Art of Entertaining for over 4 decades.  It is an art form when one is entertaining for one’s employer.  Starkey presents its famous “Entertainment Event Planner” which teaches how to organize the “Order of Service”.  You will be able to sit with your Employer and learn their perception of what is to be experienced, who the guests are, their allergies and alcohol preferences, and which style of service your employer prefers.  We cover the details of Table Settings, the four Table Service Styles, about china, silver and glassware and their proper use, Champagne and Wine Service, and the process for hosting the complete Formal Dinner planning from the Emily Post tradition. If one knows the traditional art, one can always alter or fine-tune it to fit the requests of your Principal.  We will also cover the care of fine China, Silver, and Crystal, basic flower arrangements, proper use of candles, and ultimately menu development.

This publication teaches the highest level of Event Management for the private home which means that after learning the Art of Entertaining you can now accommodate all your entertainment event-form from cocktails to BBQ’s to Buffet style service.  No matter the level of expectation you will be asked to perform you will be ready.  High Net-Worth clients want the best of the best, as it positions them in their family, and in their careers.  As a Starkey Graduate, you will have all you need in Entertainment knowledge.

This publication also presents appropriate basic Household Etiquette and International Etiquette.  Introduction of Beverage service including: coffees, teas, wines, and champagne traditions are discussed with appropriate service styles and of course cigars!  Your employer will be thrilled with your knowledge.
