The task

A relaxed roast that worked for older guests and young children, with accessible seating and a clear schedule.

What we did

  • Hired a licensed caterer for the roast and the bar
  • Planned step-free paths and reserved seating near the heaters
  • Set up a supervised children's craft table; no photos of children posted without parental consent
  • Wrote a four-hour run of show around the toasts and the family photo

Results

3generations seated together
10 of 10tables on a step-free route
