Celebrate, Safely.

Following state and local guidances, Cohasset Hospitality Partners is providing services for small gatherings. 

Our comprehensive plan to support physical distancing, cleaning and operational procedures in accordance with Massachusetts state guidelines provides added safety to our staff and your guests. 

If you do not find the answer to your question below, reach out to us.  Our team is here to give you peace of mind so that you may enjoy your event. 

How does the MA guidance influence my event?

Who will be responsible to enforce these guidelines? 

Together with you (as the hosts), your guests and Cohasset Hospitality Partners, we will commit to following the guidelines.  Signage will serve as reminders of local guidelines upon entry of the venue (event).  Our staff are well-versed and are ready to assist any guest questions.  Your Producer or Sales Director will explain venue specific procedures in advance of your event. 

 What will the signs look like? 

Following state and local guidelines, Cohasset Hospitality Partners has custom signs reminding your guests of the guidances. 

The information reminds guests and staff to: 

• Cover their nose and mouth with a face covering while not seated at a table. 

• Properly store and, when necessary, discard PPE. 

• Adhere to physical distancing instructions. 

• Report symptoms of or exposure to COVID-19, and how they should do so. 

• Follow hand hygiene and cleaning and disinfection guidelines. 

• Follow appropriate respiratory hygiene and cough etiquette. 

How many guests can I have? 

State and Local guidance will determine the number of guests who can attend an event.  Cohasset Hospitality Partners will rely on the Host for compliance to these numbers. 

Will guests and staff be required to wear face masks? 

The team at Cohasset Hospitality Partners will wear attractive face coverings at all times, which include our service team members, culinary and support staff and all onsite management staff. 

The venue will provide face covering for the security and venue administration team members. 

Cohasset Hospitality Partners and the venue will require guests to wear face coverings when not seated at a table as long as the guest is over the age of two and able to medically tolerate such covering.  While your guests are seated, masks are not required. 

Will there be extra hand sanitizers available for guests or will the wedding party be expected to provide these? 

Cohasset Hospitality Partners will provide these for your guests.  We will have hand sanitizers throughout the spaces.  You can coordinate with your Event Producer additional sanitizing stations upon your request. 

How often will high touch areas be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized?  

Cohasset Hospitality Partners will ensure adherence to hygiene, cleaning and disinfection requirements as advised by the CDC and DPH, including “Guidance for Cleaning and Disinfection of Public and Private Facilities for COVID-19,” and the “STOP THE SPREAD” poster, as applicable. Cohasset Hospitality Partners will clean and sanitize continuously, at least every hour, and as further needed. 

What will the ceremony look like? 

We will set up the ceremony site with segments of chairs.  Six chairs will be located together and no closer than six feet in proximity to another cluster of chairs.  

What does our foodservice look like?  Can I have passed hors d’oeuvres, cocktail stations or food vignettes? 

We have crafted your menu to reduce the amount of time guests will stand in line.  Similarly, buffets have been transitioned into single service, curated small plates.  These ready to eat, grab and go plates can be customized by one of our culinary team, as requested.  Your Event Producer will help you decide the perfect way to celebrate your event. 

 What will be different about our dining tables? 

According to current state  guidelines, all guest silverware will be rolled in a napkin and placed at each place setting instead of being set as you might expect with forks on the left and knives on the right. 

Cohasset Hospitality Partners will not pre-set flatware and glassware for your dining table.  There are two options you can discuss with your Event Producer: 

• Flatware can be rolled into a napkin of your choice, and pre-set at the table prior to guests arrival.  Once guests are seated, beverage service will begin with the placement of glassware.

• Once your guests have taken their seat, Cohasset Hospitality Partners team will provide French style service.  Flatware and glassware will be placed prior to each course.  Once a course is completed, all guest wares will be removed.
