Who is Christophe' Banard
Well as my first blog post I have to talk about myself. NOT A PROBLEM!!!
Who is Christophe' Banard?
Where do I start? Most people immediately associate me with the word bourgeoisie or say he is always “suited and booted”. I'd like to think I'm a fair person—easy-going, giving, personable, candid, hospitable, caring, knowledgable, straight-forward, hilarious, and fun to be around. So as a fun-loving individual who loves the finer things in life, I'm a brand of my own.
I have a real love for seeing people happy. I started in the hospitality industry when I was 17. My first job was a host at the new and very busy Grand Lux Cafe' and from there I worked at various upscale hotels and restaurants. I even worked my up to manager and was able to train and nurture many people who shared the same love for people the way I do.
My love for Event Coordinating & Production came from my love of creating an atmosphere where you could relax and have a great time while celebrating something special. An affair where you could get all dolled up. I love “pump and circumstance”. Any reason to celebrate and enjoy good company. Good food, flowing libations and I'm there; I'll make a party.
Weddings for me are a complete joy! Seriously, I get a kick out of the whole thing from cake tasting, venue picking, color selection, floral arrangements, ceremony music, vow writing, catering selecting—it all gets me excited. But most importantly it’s the joining of two hearts as one—the expression of love one for the other. It's truly a fulfilling experience and I get to be apart of some many, month after month.
So in a nutshell, I'm the guy that you like to be around; the guy who knows the ends-and-outs of true hospitality, from menu to how the table should be set. I love what I do! My OCD kicks in most time and I want things to be perfect but it was makes your event the success it should be, not a detail missed.
