Richmond Station can set up a virtual meeting for your group to join through Google Meet. This is essential if our team is demonstrating a cocktail or culinary component for your group. If you are planning to stay together as a group for several hours, even beyond the demonstration time, we recommend that you offer your own virtual platform link so that the event does not close down when our team says goodbye. In these instance you can use any virtual meeting software you prefer and we simply as to have access to the meeting space 15 minutes prior to guests joining. when our team is present ta your meeting, we will log in from three devices: one with sound and video turned on for demonstrators and two with sound and video off; one of these is so the demonstrator can see you and one is for the production assistant to monitor sound and picture quality.

There is no limit to how many people can join any one virtual session, however there are additional software hosting costs that come with group sizes over 100.

A virtual host will welcome guests to the call and run the group through the etiquette for virtual events (muting microphones, pinning demonstrators, etc). A good host will also monitor the chat and answer questions, just like at any good party. We always recommend booking a virtual host for events larger than 10 people. you can provide your own host and might even have someone in your group of guests that is the perfect fit. But you can can also book a host through us, and we’ll line up a chef or bartender to facilitate your event.
