about the savvy host

the  savvy host ... your source for essentials to enhance your entertaining style.

What is it to entertain?  Let's start with the basics - to entertain means exercising hospitality ~ entertaining company ~ providing entertainment for guests.

Entertaining is lifestyle - gathering people together in enjoyable surroundings, offering good food & drink, sharing stories, ideas, laughter, ... life.

The friendly reception and generous treatment of guests or acquaintances can be a priority in how you choose to greet daily life - in business, with family, socially, and as a part of the community.

Knowing what it takes to host a gathering of people - and how to participate as an invited participant - are valuable skills regardless of where you live, your social standing, your profession, or your culture.

the savvy host's approach is based upon 8 Entertaining Essentials© - we think of include the occasion, guests & invitations, bar basics, the menu, creating ambience, arranging the table, serving savoir-faire, and activities behind-the-scenes.  These basics, coupled with a good sense of humor - awaken and enhance each individual's unique entertaining style.

Good food, gracious hospitality and creative gatherings can, and do, impact so many different aspects of our lives.  Being a savvy host has value beyond party decorations and a well-stocked bar!

the savvy host enthusiastically shares this lifestyle philosophy through new and traditional media - radio, social media, traditional publications and ezines.
