We believe entertaining should look and feel (nearly) effortless. That’s especially important with so many of us opting to host more intimate – and relaxed – gatherings, as well as outdoor affairs, which can present additional challenges. Read on for the essentials that can make even an impromptu soiree feel low-maintenance and high-style.
1.
Optima Chill Cell Beverage Dispenser
Part of our innovative Professional Series Serveware Collection, this beverage dispenser has unrivaled cooling technologies that make it ideal for serving anything from cucumber water to chilled sangria. An ice chamber suspended in the reservoir ensures your drinks stay cold for hours on end without dilution. The base is even double walled so condensation won’t build up on the outside.
2.
Hot/Cold 3-piece Set
Spend your time reconnecting with family or friends instead of monitoring your serving table. Our caterer-style Serving Trays contain a thermosensitive core that keeps appetizers hot or cold for approximately two hours. Simply place the trays in the refrigerator or a low-temperature oven prior to use, and then set them out at your party.
3.
Weston Wine Caddy
The centerpiece for a casual get-together. Bottles of wine on hand? Check. Wine glasses for all the gals? Check. Snacks to keep the hangout going? Check. Bring the Weston Wine Caddy outside on the patio, or place it on the coffee table for an all-in-one entertaining caddy for any room.
4.
Carved Wood & Marble Serveware Collection
Intricately handcarved mango wood contrasts against lustrous white marble to create stunning serveware that’s sure to spark conversation. The round and rectangular trays, two-tiered server, entertaining & serving bowls – and even charcuterie picks – create a cohesive tabletop presentation that elevates any occasion.
5.
Costa Nova Pearl Dinnerware Collection
If you entertain frequently, you want dinnerware that looks good and performs even better. This handmade collection features a high-gloss finish with embossed, beaded edges for a touch of traditional elegance. It’s also microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe.
6.
Folding Table & Chairs
Just because your dining table only seats a few people doesn’t mean you can’t host all your friends and family. Not only do our folding tables and chairs look like stationary furniture, but they also collapse with ease after everyone goes home. So go ahead and blast out that e-invitation!
7.
Etienne Bar Cabinet
Encourage guests to craft their own cocktails by stocking a bar cart or cabinet with all the essentials. The Etienne Bar Cabinet features a flip-down front that works as a bar or cocktail station, a removable shelf with reversible wine storage and an inner mirror to complete the classic bar look.
