Setting the Scene for Every Moment

A major event has many moving parts – whether it’s an extravagant wedding, an unforgettable conference, or a joy-filled holiday celebration. For Alexis Manuel Tilit, Banquet Attendee at Grand Plaza Mövenpick Media City, UAE every occasion is an opportunity to make something extraordinary happen. From the early morning setup to the last guest farewell, Alexis knows that behind every seamless event are people like him – those who ensure that every glass sparkles, every table is set just right, and every guest feels welcome.

For Alexis, that dedication is what being a Heartist® is all about. “It’s about being authentic and genuine. It’s about creating real connections that make a difference in someone’s day,” he explains.

It’s a philosophy that shows in his warm smile, steady composure, and genuine care for others. Working in the hotel’s conference center, a space that transforms daily to host events of every size, Alexis feels right at home. And when the room fills with people, excitement, and energy, that’s when it truly comes alive.

Alexis takes pride in the trust placed in him by both his leaders and his colleagues. “I’m empowered to take ownership of my actions,” he says. “I’m supported by having a safe and positive workplace, which gives me the confidence to provide better service to our guests. I know this will help me grow.”

That sense of safety and belonging is what allows him to deliver his best, to anticipate needs, respond with care, and turn ordinary interactions into memorable experiences. “I know that every small thing I do makes the guest happy,” he adds.

Among the many events Alexis has helped organize, one stands out: a wedding that left an impression on everyone involved. “When I saw the couple’s reaction and how happy they were, I knew I had made an impact,” he recalls.

It’s those reactions – the joy, the gratitude, the shared emotion – that remind Alexis why he loves what he does. Because for him, every event is more than an occasion. It’s a chance to connect, to care, and to create happiness, one heartfelt detail at a time.
