It is important to provide as much information as possible, such as the size of your event, the type of cuisine you are interested in, and your budget.

3. Negotiate Terms: Once the restaurant has agreed to provide food for your event, it is time to negotiate the terms. Make sure to discuss the cost of the food, the types of dishes that will be provided, and any other details that need to be worked out.

Tips for Ensuring Quality Food

Once you have chosen a restaurant and negotiated the terms, it is important to make sure that the food provided for your awards reception meets the expectations of your guests. Here are some tips for ensuring quality food:

1. Taste Test: If possible, ask the restaurant to provide a tasting sample of the food that they will be providing for your event. This will give you an opportunity to make sure that the food meets your expectations.

2. Ask Questions: Ask the restaurant questions about the ingredients they use and how they prepare the food. This will help you to make sure that the food is of the highest quality.

3. Provide Feedback: After the event, provide the restaurant with feedback on the food. This will help them to improve their services for future events.

Organizing an awards reception requires careful planning and preparation. One of the most important aspects of an awards reception is the food. Getting local restaurants to provide food for your event is a great way to ensure that your guests have a delicious and memorable meal.

GIFT GUIDE: Luxury Jeweler Faberge Releases a New Collab for Game of Throne Fans

They said it couldn’t be done. Well, actually no one ever said that, but definitely no one thought about doing it until now. High end jeweler and well known Czar and gemstone-studded egg maker Faberge has teamed with Warner Bros. to release a new collaboration based on none other than HBO‘s hit series, Game of Thrones.

Says Faberge, “Continuing the collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, the new Fabergé x Game of Thrones High Jewellery collection, which has been developed in partnership with Michele Clapton, the Emmy® and BAFTA® winning Costume Designer for Game of Thrones was unveiled in November 2022. The collection will be launched in a series of ‘chapters’ over the next two years, commencing with ‘Chapter One: Dragon’. These new creations are rare pieces of history in the making, set to delight fans, fusing Fabergé’s artistic ingenuity with the fantastical world of one of the 21st century’s most popular television shows.”

Now, we don’t know if you have to be the Mother of Dragons to wear this, or even to be able afford this, but you definitely don’t have to be her to want this… and we definitely do!

Fabergé’s Head of Design, Liisa Tallgren says of this collection: “The Fabergé x Game of Thrones ‘Dragon’ High Jewellery capsule collection presents different aspects of the mythical creatures, and documents their journey in the series alongside Daenerys. From skeletal designs that reference the dragon skeletons housed in a vault in the Red Keep in King’s Landing, through to creations which showcase Gemfields’ Mozambican rubies to hint that the dragons are back and alive, ready to breathe fire. The crescendo of ‘Chapter One: Dragon’ is a design which spotlights a row of diamonds and rubies which metaphorically burst into flames, showcasing that the dragons are back and full of life”.

Avatar: The Way of Water Official Film Trailer

A new trailer for Avatar 2 has been released, and it shows us more of the world-building that has gone into this long awaited film. One thing that is obvious is that there are a lot more animals in the Pandora ecosystem than before, and not all of 10 feet tall Na’vi (“the People”) are Blue. Many are Green.

Now that’s a bit of a reveal.

Apparently Blue Na’vi live in the forests and on land, and Green Na’vi live near the ocean, and spend a lot of time underwater.

Oh, and Jake Sully has kids. Na’vi kids, or least part Na’vi, part human from the human genome in his avatar — now full time — body.

As the studio describes for the trailer, “Set more than a decade after the events of the first film, “Avatar: The Way of Water” begins to tell the story of the Sully family (Jake, Neytiri, and their kids), the trouble that follows them, the lengths they go to keep each other safe, the battles they fight to stay alive, and the tragedies they endure.”

Directed by James Cameron and produced by Cameron and Jon Landau, the Lightstorm Entertainment Production stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang and Kate Winslet. Screenplay by James Cameron & Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver. Story by James Cameron & Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver & Josh Friedman & Shane Salerno. David Valdes and Richard Baneham serve as the film’s executive producers.
