A summer water and citrus station Two clear water dispensers, clean tumblers and a restrained citrus bowl sit on a pale side table with open space for serving. What I want to borrow: Choose a visible drinking-water point alongside the main bar so water is easy to find throughout the gathering. Adaptation to discuss: Keep one dispenser plain and identify any flavored option in the real setup. Use staff-filled jugs if dispensers would be difficult for guests to operate. Questions for our supplier: • Who replenishes water and clean glasses throughout the event? • Where will used glasses go? • Does the location remain easy to reach when guests gather? Scope to confirm: Plain water, optional flavoring, glass stock, replenishment and return points. Responsible people: Service lead owns checks and refill timing; venue approves position. Before confirming: Test the tap height, stability and serving route with the actual furniture. Working example (replace with actuals): Clean glasses, water, waste or return point and an owner are four separate parts of the station.
