PLAN AND CUSTOMIZE YOUR WEDDING WITH YOUR SALES AND EVENTS MANAGER
Hold the initial planning meeting with your Sales and Events Manager. While preliminary
details have been discussed, the real planning often cannot begin until many of the details
surrounding your event have been determined.
At this meeting the Sales and Events Manager will review what has been discussed and
solidify any items that were still in question. This meeting is used to finalize menu, décor,
and event enhancements.
At this time, you will receive your Banquet Event Order (BEO) for review, along with your
timeline and diagram. This will also mark your next deposit date, which will be 75% of
the remaining balance.
Your Sales and Events Manager will reach out to your vendors to confirm load-in instructions
and provide them with the approved timeline.
Final guest count, signed BEO, balance, and table breakdown are now due.
“By the sea, by the sea, by the beautiful sea! You and me, you and me,
oh how happy we will be!”—Harold Atteridge
