The most unusual occasion that we have provided catering equipment for was actually for a romantic dinner for two at the top of a tree. Both people were avid outdoors folks and the guy John wanted to propose to Helen in a very unusual setting. Well there was a viewing platform at the top of this tree that was accessed either by a ladder or by a zip line that wound through the treetops.
John and Helen were arriving by the zip line – John wanted a romantic setting to be there when they arrived to surprise his bride to be. It was a challenge and we had to be very creative to make it all happen because we just didn’t supply the catering equipment we were responsible for setting it up as well.
The meal was simple one of fresh pasta, crusty bread and a delicious and expensive bottle of red (we nearly dropped this over the edge of the platform which would have been a disaster). How we moved the catering equipment to the top of the platform was by a pulley system that John had the local guys set up. It took us a while to get it up there but it was such a fabulous view that we were very pleased when everything was in place and we received the word that John and Helen were on their way down the zip line and would be there any moment.
We quickly lit the candles (thank goodness for no wind and a sunset that highlighted the setting) and scooted own the ladder pleased with a job well done and we heard from a very happy John later that Helen loved the setting.
