Stylish Entertaining with Warmth and Ambiance
August 31, 2004 ― Although Faith Popcorn coined the "cocooning" phrase years ago, there is no doubt that busy executives would like to spend more time at home. Further, the marketing concept of "home hosted events" ― whether with important clients, new business prospects, or long-time friends and family ― has grown in popularity. With this in mind, La Table du Chatelain offers a uniquely personal, exceptional dining option to Calgarians who would prefer to entertain at home rather than in a restaurant or meeting room. Your Executive Chef, Jean-Paul Chatelain, will work with you to develop a French-inspired menu that will delight and inspire your guests. Backing up Jean-Paul are service providers who can round out the menu with theme decorations, floral arrangements, commemorative menus and gifts, music selection, and china selection and rentals if needed.
