Garten believes that the atmosphere is vital for any hosting event. "I always had this philosophy that it had to feel good when you were there," she explains. This emphasis on creating a sensory environment became a critical part of her food store's charm, ensuring that guests were not just present but felt engaged and welcome while exploring the space.
The concept of activating all five senses in hosting is key to Garten's strategy. As she shared, "There was always great music, always a screen door slamming that makes it sound like summer. And then I put in French bread ovens, and we baked bread in the back so the store smelled good." This multi-sensory approach enhances the entire experience for guests.
