Butlered Service Definition

By Nina Callaway, About.com

Definition: Waiters pass hors d'oeuvres or beverages from trays, similarly to how a butler would wait on guests in a private home. This is an elegant option, especially as guests won't have to wait in line to get a drink, and it will remind them of the options available to them. Requires slightly more staff than stationary hors d'oeuvres and a bartender.
Also Known As: Tray Service Passed Hors d'Oeuvres
