Where Northfield hosts use dinnerware
We plan for both. For a home event, we look at your yard, your drive and your guest count. For a company event, we ask about floor plan, timing and load-in rules and produce an itemized quote that your facilities team can review quickly. If your event spans a home and a nearby venue, tell us both addresses and we will coordinate delivery between them.
