Distance made something closer.
The first Open Tables were created during COVID so bridal showers and small celebrations could continue. We carried in the handmade tables, cleaned and dressed them, placed the food, left before guests arrived, and returned the next day. The contact-light ritual is part of the origin; the idea now has more ways to come alive.
Closer to the ground.
Relaxed seating, cushions, grazing, and a table that turns a lawn or garden into the room.
Ready for dinner.
The same handmade tabletop on taller legs with chairs, built for weddings, seated meals, and gatherings that want a traditional dining height outdoors.
Where it works
The place is part of the invitation.
Add the kitchen.
The Open Table can stand on its own or become one part of a larger mobile event with the hot kitchen, cold truck, and Alfred Mixology.
Cooked nearby.
Bring the mobile kitchen to finish and serve on the property.
Grazing + sweets.
Use the cold truck for chilled food, dessert, and supporting service.
Alfred, outside.
Add mobile bar or zero-proof service when the gathering calls for it.
Where should the table go?
Send the property, date, guest count, and the kind of gathering you imagine.
