We get asked this question all the time: What is a Maître D’ and why do you need one for your wedding? Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, with countless details to manage. That’s where the Maître D’ becomes your secret weapon. Often overlooked, this essential role ensures your wedding reception runs flawlessly.

As part of the West Hills Country Club all-inclusive wedding package your Maître D’ will oversee every aspect of your wedding, from greeting guests to coordinating the service staff and vendors. They are more than your captain or servers; they’re the conductor of your wedding reception orchestra.

With a keen eye for detail and a calm demeanor, your Maître D’ will handle everything from managing the timeline to resolving unexpected issues. This allows you to relax and enjoy your special day without worrying about the logistics.

Did You Know?

Maître d’ is actually short for maître d’hôtel, which translates from French to “master of the house.” Historically, a maître d’hôtel was a head butler or steward, but today, the term primarily refers to the head of a dining room staff. So, the next time you hear this sophisticated title, remember you’re talking to the captain of your culinary experience!

Your Maître D’ is more than just a coordinator; they’re your on-the-day confidante.

Feel free to communicate any special requests or last-minute changes you might have. They’re there to ensure your vision comes to life and that you can relax and enjoy every moment of your wedding celebration!
