The divine is in the details and so, some say, is the devil. Always do a quick but thorough walk through just before the guests begin to arrive. Check to see that the entertainment is ready, the candles are lit, the drinks are ready, the lights are dimmed or beamed up, and the correct number of place settings is on the tables. Talk with the wait staff to be sure they understand what is expected of them at a Chaîne event. (See Basic Rules for Chaîne Events and Instructions to the Wait Staff. Print copies of each of these pages to share with the host establishment staff.) Stick your head in the kitchen; let the kitchen staff know that you are looking forward to their very best performance.
