Banquet event order (BEO)

A banquet event order (BEO) is a document that outlines details of an event, like menus, room setup specifications, event timelines, and any special requests. It serves as a formal agreement between event venues (hotels, resorts, conference center, banquet halls, etc.) and event organizers, ensuring that every aspect of a gathering is clearly defined and understood by all stakeholders.  

A BEO is crucial for MICE tourism and corporate travel programs, where large-scale events require precise organization. But it’s also used for smaller private parties, like weddings or anniversary celebrations.

Event organizers develop a BEO in collaboration with event venues. Some property management systems (PMSs) include BEO modules, so hotels can automatically generate BEOs based on details provided by organizers. Departments like room service and housekeeping staff can then access these documents to better serve event guests.
