Here’s to the Happy Couple
Tuesday, July 13th, 2010 | Uncategorized | No Comments
Jubilee Banquet Facility wants to wish our bridal couples well and that’s why we’re offering a free champagne toast for 50 guests. In August, if a couple reserves our Jubilee Hall, we will provide a free glass of house champagne for 50 of your guests at your reception. Booking requires serving of food and guests must be 21-years-old to receive champagne.
So if the thought of making a toast makes your palms sweat, here are stress-free toasting tips. The typical order of toasts is the best man gives the first toast, followed by the fathers, the groom, the bride, family friends, relatives, maid or matron of honor, the mothers and then anyone else who would like to toast the couple.
When giving a toast, don’t be long-winded, after all, it’s about the happy couple. If possible, stand to give the toast. Don’t forget to introduce yourself and your relationship to the couple. It’s okay to include witty anecdotes, as long as they’re in good taste. Be clear and speak loud enough so all guests can understand you. And, end on a positive note. “Cheers” or “Best Wishes” are always nice sentiments to conclude the toast.
Do you have any toasting hints or suggestions? We’d love to hear them!
Spotlight on Jubilee Hall

One of things that makes
Jubilee Banquet Facility unique is our versatility. And, that versatility extends to the banquet rooms themselves.
For example our largest room, Jubilee Hall, can accommodate up to 250 guests or we can divide Jubilee Hall in half with a partition to create two rooms. Also, the banquet room can be configured to suit the needs for each event. At your wedding reception, we can design the room layout with round tables. Or, for your corporate training seminar, we can use long tables so guests can face the projection screen.
“It’s the perfect facility for us,” said Bill Cole, Planner and Coordinator with Homeland Security, District 2. “Jubilee has great audio and visual equipment and great food.”
Bill coordinates Homeland Security training seminars for law enforcement officials, emergency management workers, first responders and healthcare professionals from 16 area counties.
At the conclusion of the training seminars, the guests fill out evaluation forms and according to Bill, the results are uniformly positive about the location.
The room fee for Jubilee Hall includes the use of chairs, tables, china, glassware, silverware, table linens, standard centerpieces, sound system and wireless internet.
“The attentive staff are great to work with,” Bill said. He said that it’s good to have a facility where they can conduct meetings and have lunch, so guests aren’t left to search out lunch for themselves.
To find out if Jubilee Hall is perfect for your next event, contact us and we’ll give you a tour,865-938-2112.
We’re Turning 3

August 3rd is a very special day for Jubilee Banquet Facility. It’s our Anniversary!
While our 3rd anniversary is next month, our history is much longer. Jubilee Banquet Facility began as a dream for Sharon Morton seven years ago. As a Powell resident for many years, it was Sharon’s desire to offer something unique to the community. She wanted to give families a place to celebrate all the special moments like birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, showers and reunions.
To make the dream of Jubilee Banquet Facility a success, it takes dedicated and experienced staff. Greg Austin, Executive Chef, graduated Summa Cum Laude in Culinary Arts at Johnson and Wales. He began his career working for Chef Simmerman at Club LeConte in Knoxville. For five years, Greg worked with Wolfgang Puck opening cafes in the Beverly Hills area and in Wolfgang Puck’s catering business doing events like celebrity weddings, movie premieres and the Academy Awards.
Jubilee’s Event Coordinator is Brittany York who’s been with the company since it’s opening. She has event experience planning parties for a multitude of clients from corporate and small businesses to weddings, birthdays and more. Her background of sports training and conditioning as well as modeling and pageants make her a well-rounded and experienced member of Jubilee’s staff.
Sharon and the staff members of Jubilee Banquet Facility are looking forward to many more successful years of hosting your special events.
