What are BEOs and why do event pros need them?

--

What exactly is a BEO? It's a Banquet Event Order.

But guess what? BEOs are an essential event management document even if you don’t plan banquet-style events.

BEOs (sometimes referred to as run sheets) allow you to provide critical details that everyone involved in any event MUST have at their fingertips - whether they are a caterer, vendor, coordinator, or your client.

Planning Pod’s BEO layouts are customizable, so you can easily choose which event details need to be included (and which don’t)…in which document…for which audience. This high level of customization makes it easy for you to keep your informative BEOs short, sweet, and scannable.

So forget about sending endless emails with multiple PDFs and spreadsheets, crossing your heart and hoping to die before somebody overlooks the fact that the mother of the bride can’t sit next to Aunt Margaret because she’s allergic to elderberry perfume, mothballs, and stories about the Great Depression.

BEOs are the only tool you need to distribute event details!
