Setting the Stage with Criu Hospitality

It’s your wedding day…finally! Today it all comes together, just as you planned. As your guests arrive at your venue there is nothing but “oohs” and “ahhs” as they enter this wonderland you’ve created to share with them, the people you hold most near and dear. The tables are set, the décor is down, music is playing, and there are flowers galore—pure enchantment.

But, how did this venue become so enchanting? Just a few days ago it was perhaps an old barn on a working cattle ranch or an abandoned surfboard shed on the beach. Maybe it was even an airplane hangar. But, today? Voila! Perfection.

Now, we all know this didn’t just happen. An incredible amount of time, effort, people power, and money has gone into creating the perfect setting for your most perfect day, a day you’ve awaited and anticipated for so long. However, on this special morning for you, the hard part is done. You’ve hired all your vendors and selected the music, food, and drinks to be poured. Rentals have been delivered, flowers have been placed, the Chef is in the kitchen, and the wedding party is safely tucked away getting ready for the big event.

So, now what? With just hours to spare, this is where Criú Hospitality comes in!

First, the Criu Muscle Team goes to work. They show up early, ready to do the heavy lifting from setting up tables, chairs, bars, and lounge furniture to discreetly stashing away carts, boxes, and dollies.

Next, comes the table setting. Following the layout provided, the servers go to work carefully setting each and every table to perfection. Sticking to a precise timeline, the team makes certain that everything is ready for cocktail hour, the bar is stocked, the apps are being warmed, and all hands are on deck and ready for action.

From this point on it’s dinner service, bartending, dessert, champagne pouring, and all the while clearing tables, dishwashing, emptying trash, and assisting wherever needed. As the reception starts slowing down (and it will, we promise), Criu’s staff is quietly returning the dishes to their bins, glasses to racks, shutting down the kitchen and bars, and returning the venue to its original condition. Oh, and cue the Muscle Team! They are back and ready to fold, stack, and prep all the rentals for pick-up.

And, that’s what Criú can do for you.

Now, you could ask family and friends to help instead of hiring a Criú. There may be a friend of a friend who has a neighbor or “knows a guy”. But, why? Let your guests enjoy your day and leave the rest to us. Professional, affordable, licensed, and certified, our Criú is your wedding day team. And no, it’s not magic, but your guests will never know!
