Large Events at Sticks


As you plan your large events at Sticks there are a few things to keep in mind!  It's important to have key 'gathering spots' in separate locations rather than next to each other.  This will help avoid bottle necks of groups.

Sit-down plated dinner:
- For a sit-down plated dinner we suggest having the bar in the kitchen using the main counter and the dance floor in the drawing room, here's a sample diagram for this:  LINK

​
Sit-down buffet dinner:
- For a sit-down buffet dinner we suggest having the buffet on the large counter in the kitchen and the bar in the drawing room so that the people in line for the buffet avoid the line at the bar.  Here's a sample diagram for this:  LINK

Guidlines:
- Whether buffet or sit-down plated, with over 100 guests you should have a pre-pour of something as they enter.  It could be a signature cocktail or or just wine.  If they want a beer or mixed drink they can still go to the bar but the pre-pour helps them get a drink fast to avoid long lines at the bar.
- When having a buffet it's important to keep the bar in the drawing room.  If your meal is plated the bar works great on the main counter in the kitchen.
