F.B. Rogers samovar, 24 cup, 1980

THE BAR. THE PUNCH BOWL.

THE COFFEE.  

The Theater of Serving Event Beverages

The impeccably-accessorized, era-themed bar on an expansive coffee buffet with a row of table-tented,

scattered historic silver plate coffee pots full of exotic flavors.

The sound of formal afternoon high tea starring English antique bone china teacups and polished antique teaspoons, politely clanking.

The nostalgia of the punch bowl table’s long-handled vintage silver plate punch ladle, reflecting light in its animated pattern of movement.

All of these sensory, sparkling elements

    creat an unmistakable welcoming for your guests.
