Getting Together: A Dinner Party Workshop with All Together Now and Able Shoppe

  • All Together Now 2119 West Chicago Avenue Chicago, IL, 60622 United States (map)

Get it together before you get together with an immersive dinner party lesson at Present Company with All Together Now and Able Shoppe. We’ll show you how to throw a dinner party that looks and tastes good, from the table settings to the punch bowls to the food menu.

This workshop will cover…
- TABLE STYLING: How to select linens, tableware, accessories, and flowers in various aesthetic styles and turn them into a memorable scene.
- MENU PLANNING: What are you making? How much? When are you doing it? We’ll offer tried-and-true recipes, menu structures, and suggested preparation timing that’ll leave you free to kick up your feet and enjoy your own party, with plenty of tastes along the way.
- BEVERAGES: We’ll cover helpful pairing principles, talk about the benefits of living large (expect magnums of wine and full punch bowls), and offer fun booze-free ideas. You’ll get to sip on them all for yourself, too.
- WORK SMARTER, NOT HARDER: How to be smart about outsourcing and zhuzh in ways that feel extra-special. And guess what? There’s more tasting here, too. It’s the best way to learn!

This event features four different stations, each with its own party topic, and plenty of food sampling and wine tasting. Tickets are $100 and include a 10% shopping discount from both Able Shoppe and All Together Now. You’ll also take home a printed guide of tips, tricks, and recipes, plus a set of vintage napkins from Able Shoppe.
