What you can do

Agree the event before you confirm it

A venue package describes the event a booking will run: which hall, when it starts and ends, and how many guests are coming. A package moves from draft to submitted, and then an independent reviewer approves it, rejects it or returns it for changes. A completed package is the one the event ran on.

Review exists because the details in a package drive everything else: staffing, setup and what the customer has been told. The reviewer checks the hall, times and guest count against the supporting evidence attached to the booking. The submitted revision is frozen while it is reviewed. Nobody can approve a package they prepared themselves.

How the work is organized

Coordinators prepare packages; package reviewers decide them.

  • One package per booking revision. The package belongs to its booking, and the decision applies to the revision reviewed.
  • Evidence-backed. Supporting files such as the signed request or floor plan are attached to the booking for the reviewer.
  • Independent decision. Self-approval is refused, and the decision records the reason.

What to agree during setup

Agree what a package must contain for each event type and what evidence the reviewer needs. Agree who reviews packages and how fast, and how a returned package is followed up. Prepare examples of a straightforward package, a package whose guest count exceeds the hall, a package returned for missing evidence and a package changed after approval.

Check the handoff on an actual case

A coordinator submits a package for a gala in the ballroom with 320 guests. The reviewer sees that the ballroom’s capacity on the reservation line is 300 and returns the package with that reason. The coordinator moves the overflow to the adjoining terrace, updates the package and submits it again. The reviewer approves the new revision, and the booking can be confirmed.
