"Working with the special events team is an exceptional and easy experience. The team of Le Bernardin transforms a mundane event into an exquisite affair. Service is impeccable and kind." Sarah Powers, Kobrand. Here are the steps that will guide you through the planning process. 1. Telephone our event coordinators Monica Cobo or Karin Burroughs by dialing 212-554-1107 to discuss your overall needs. 2. Basic information will be verbally given at this time and if requested a more detailed package with menu and prices will be faxed and the date will be placed temporarily on hold. 3. Although everything can be explained over the phone, we advise you to arrange a visit of Les Salons Bernadin to discuss in more detail how we can configure the room by using our electronically controlled walls. 4. If you come to the decision that we will host your party, a contract will be written and a 50% deposit, by check or credit card will be required upon signing. 5. Since our menu is always based on the freshest products available, we recommend discussing it one week before the event. 6. Once the menu has been chosen, our Sommelier will contact you to help you choose the perfect wine to complement your meal. 7. We’ll work with you to develop a checklist of all the other needs of your event, ranging from audiovisual equipment to flower arrangements by referring you to specialist for each field. "As an event Planner for our Board of Directors Meeting, my experience with Le Bernardin has been one of my most pleasurable experiences. The Ease of Doing Business, coupled with outstanding food and service, will bring our Board of Directors back time and again." Karen M Bannon, Executive assistant to chairman, Arrow Electronics.
