Hospitality Feng Shui

A welcoming atmosphere

This is all about creating a space that enhances creativity and production.  Hospitality goes hand in hand with great feng shui!

Dave is a retired chef who worked in various aspects of the hospitality industry from restaurant management, to catering large events. His party platters made the news! He is creative well beyond the kitchen as he is also an artist who carves, paints, repairs and restores furniture. 

David is no longer cooking for groups but he is full of wise advice for those who need guidance on how much food to prepare and how to display it.  He can guide party planners on making a space look more inviting.

 

He can help if you can answer some questions such as:

 

  • When is your event?

  • Where will you have it?

  • How many quests will attend?

  • What kind of menu:  finger foods, buffet or sit down dinner?

Dave & Patty will consult with you to gather information. Then they may visit the site or do a virtual tour.  Finally, you will receive a written plan to follow to guide you through the process.  

Do you need help planning an event, or even updating a space?

Dave & Patty met as young artists.  Patty had a career as a draftsman before going into accounting.  David was a chef who made beautiful and tasty creations.  He also paints and carves.  He even built a boat.

Furniture and art well placed
