Why Staff Make the Difference
These dishes shine brightest with skilled hands behind them. A vetted housekeeper from Marshall Harber can whip up the pudding while your chauffeur runs last-minute errands. A butler ensures the lamb hits the table piping hot. A chef crafts tartlets that steal the show. Easter hosting becomes a breeze when your team knows its craft—and discretion keeps the focus on the meal, not the prep.
