Celebrating in Berkeley
Where Berkeley hosts use dinnerware
Because Berkeley is a small town, personal touches matter, so we plan around specific details like a favorite backyard tree or a narrow driveway rather than a generic layout. A few photos and your guest count get us most of the way to a good plan. Many families here also host relatives from several nearby villages at once, which means more cars than a typical block can hold, so we ask early about where guests are likely to park. If your gathering follows a church service, tell us the timing so chairs and tables are ready the moment the first guests walk in.
