BOTSWANA ACCOUNTANCY COLLEGE VALENTINE DINNER

The 14 February is well known month of love, every establishment or food outlets look forward to produce spectacular romantic dinner experience. Valentine is love and affection between intimate companions (Timeanddate.com, 2015).The hospitality BAC class also find it fit to organize and plan the dinner for the night. Typically in organizing such event takes certain aspects that guests can look forward to enjoy their love day, for example color, ambiance, food, music and location

LOCATION

For conference events, Shone (1998) identified that location will be the key considerations, with the venue needing it to be close to the city. The valentine dinner was held at Barclays Plaza BAC campus which is in the center of the city and easy to reach. Hosting the dinner in one of the classes helps in controlling audience’s entrance and exits, lights and sound of the music.

FOOD

Catering can be the major element in the staging, depending on the theme and nature of the event (Bowdin, et al 2012).At the event they were two set of menu, the buffet and cocktails menu. The buffet menu was for the couples and the cocktail menu was for the singles. Consumption of alcohol beverages at an event gives rises to many concerns for the event manager (Graham et al.2001) but at the event alcohol was not allowed as the dinner was catered for students and it was in the school premises.
