Occasions
A ceremony, a reception, a weekend of them. Arriving with considered company changes the whole shape of the day.
Weddings are the occasion clients most often mention first. They are long, they are full of people who know each other, and they ask a great deal of a guest arriving alone. Preparation matters here more than anywhere: who is who, which names to know, which conversations to steer toward and which to leave alone.
Benefits, openings, museum evenings and the long receiving lines that come with them.
Benefit dinners and opening nights reward a companion who is comfortable in the room, can hold a table conversation, and knows when to step back. Attire is confirmed in advance; so is the plan for arrival, seating and departure.
Firm dinners, industry awards, holiday parties and the events where colleagues are watching.
Professional settings call for a companion who is unmistakably at ease among accomplished people and entirely uninterested in being the centre of attention. The introduction is agreed in advance and never requires a fabricated history.
