VIP Event Hospitality (English Support)
To the occasion of receiving a VIP, a butler's dignity and command of English
Challenges We Often Hear
You want to offer overseas VIP guests hospitality without a language barrier
To speak English and to host in English are different skills, calling for reception that includes the right use of titles and the way tastes are asked.
You want to prevent, for certain, any discourtesy on an international occasion
Food taboos and the etiquette of greeting differ by country and religion. With reception grounded in cultural consideration, we create an occasion where no innocent discourtesy occurs.
What We Provide for BusinessWhat We Provide
International-class hospitality
1. What kind of service is VIP event hospitality?
VIP event hospitality is a service in which an English-speaking butler attends occasions receiving international conferences or overseas dignitaries. From ¥33,000 (tax incl.) for three hours, English support is included as standard.
Not mere serving with an interpreter, but reception by international protocol, giving form to your respect for a special guest.
1.1 The standard of hosting “in” English
To speak English and to host in English are different skills. The butler hears a guest's name and affiliation accurately, uses titles correctly, and discreetly asks their preferences in English.
The quality of reception beyond the language barrier is the heart of this service.
1.2 International protocol as a safety device
Food taboos and the etiquette of greeting differ by country and religion. The butler receives guests mindful of the cultural considerations of each country, creating an occasion where no innocent discourtesy occurs.
A slip on an international stage can be prevented by the butler's knowledge.
1.3 Multiple languages, too
Besides English, butlers capable of Chinese and French can be arranged (an additional fee per language). Where guests of many nationalities gather, we can also propose stationing a butler by language.
The practice of receptionIn Practice
2. How the butler moves at an international event
On the day of a VIP event, the butler handles everything from the pre-event briefing to the final farewell. Here we introduce the practice particular to an international occasion.
2.1 Unifying information at the pre-event briefing
Before the start, the butlers share the nationality, language, position and points of note of the guests. They design in advance who focuses on which guest and the shading of reception by rank, before taking the floor.
2.2 Consistent, in English from reception to service
Receiving overseas guests, guiding them to the venue, serving drinks and food — all consistently in English. Standing between the Japanese host and the guest, the butler also bridges, creating openings for conversation and making introductions.
2.3 Personal attendance for a particular VIP
For the most important guest, the form of a personal attendance, with one butler dedicated to them, can also be taken. A dedicated presence able to respond at once to fine requests during the stay conveys the host's respect most strongly.
The stagesIn Context
3. The international settings that choose us
VIP event hospitality is used at international occasions where standing is in question, from diplomatic-class ceremonies to business previews. Here we introduce three representative stages.
3.1 At the reception of an international conference
At a reception where participants gather from around the world, a butler's English reception represents the hospitality of the host nation. The quality of reception underpins a sense of unity that crosses borders.
3.2 At a special preview for affluent overseas guests
At a private sale or preview inviting overseas VIP clients, a butler's fine reception draws out the value of the goods. An environment without the anxiety of language changes, for certain, a guest's length of stay and appetite to buy.
3.3 At events related to embassies and consulates
At events close to the diplomatic sphere, accuracy in ceremony is questioned above all. Stationing a butler versed in international protocol is, for the host, both an insurance and a staging.
