The event was successful as the overseer was coordinating the team, she informed the team about everything that was important. Denning (2007) illustrate that coordinated communication bring the team into line on the set objective that progress is made. The overseer had a focal point of giving the team information to avoid confusion.

Introduction

Security is an important aspect that needs to be taken into consideration when hosting an event, as it was not fully taken into consideration during the valentine’s dinner that was held on the 14^th of February 2015 at Barclays Plaza BAC campus. Australian Government (2011) illustrate that it is of paramount importance for an event planner to ensure that the security team proved a safe and secure surrounding for the clients. Dwyer et al (2010) state that security team for events should ensure that they can manage the crowed attending.

During the valentines dinner there was only one person who was a sighed to be security and collecting cash and tickets for two entrance doors. Connors (2007) illustrate that security team should have a work force should know how many people are needed for security and they should be allocated to their duties and responsibilities. The security guy could not manage alone which resulted in some clients entering without the paying. Health and Safety Executive (2008) illustrate that when dealing with large crowed during an event they should be a queue to control movement when entering and exiting.

Valentines Dinner Event

Valentines Dinner Event

The main focus of these post is how ambience had affected a valentine’s dinner event that was held on the 14^th of February 2015 at Barclays Plaza BAC campus. Bowdin et al (2006) illustrate that ambiance is the mood, special quality or atmosphere of a place, situation. They are certain aspects that an event planner should focus on that contribute to ambiance (Dickson, Robinson and Wale 2010). Music was used as part of the aspects of ambience for the event.

Music

According to Michon and Chebat (2010) music is an art that can be used as a form of communication and to express feelings .Music plays a very important role to attract a client in an environment. Background music that was played at the valentine’s dinner was too loud and did not match the event and environment. Basera, Dhliwayo and Mutsikiwa (2013) illustrate that background music played should suit the event. Music played should grab attention in a manner that it can be ignorable as it is interesting (Eno, 2013). Valentines dinner music could not allow the audience or clients to hear each other. Wilson (2003) supported Eno that dining music should be slow and soft to allow people in the restaurant to be able to communicate.
