The setting was perfect, candlelight,
polished cutlery and a single rose set
in a delicate vase at each table.

Libertier hotel haven for the rich and
famous, celebrating their annual ball,
which occurs once every year, it's a
must, to be seen at this function; a social
occasion with special entertainment
and performances, some from around
the world.

A lavish dinner party is set for 9 pm,
with top chefs hand picked who have
earned the title "The Michelin Star "
undoubtedly the highest honour
within the international culinary industry.

The Maitre 'd, head waiter and manager
of the hotel, there to supervise the staff
welcoming guests and assigning tables
to them taking reservations, and ensuring
that the guests are satisfied.

The layout of the tables has to be
immaculate in presentation with a single
rose set in a vase in the centre of every
table under soft candlelights for the guests; the menu; how much people they
are preparing for and all the provisions
that comes with it.

Like the good chef knows you cannot
keep guests waiting or that would be
classed as a disaster, there's no room
for error. A great deal of money has been spent on this night, it has to go
without a hitch.

The event opens at 7 pm. Dressed in
their evening wear and fineries to the
hilt the guests advanced to the Libertier.
No expense spared, casual drinks at the
bar, soft music to get the crowd in the
mood.

Dinner at 9 pm, followed by the ball
where partners, friends and family can
hit the dance floor and enjoy the evening's entertainment until the early hours of the morning; let their 'hair
down' and forget their problems for
one evening.
