•Detailed information should form the part of your answer (Word limit 150 to 200 words).
Case let 1
One event planner was asked to plan a woman’s fortieth birthday party. The woman’s husband
wanted a party that would be unique and memorable not only for his wife but also for all who
attended. He was thrilled with the idea of a luncheon harbor cruise. The planner was to arrange
for the boat rental and catering and to decorate the boat on the morning of the party.
As it turned out, there were three complications. The first was the weather. It rained, and they
could not use the top deck of the boat, which was wonderful, but only on a sunny day. This
limitation meant that the downstairs area became quite crowded. The harbor was also quite
choppy, and a few people felt seasick because of the small swell. The thing that the planner really
hadn’t thought through care parents. The older ones were just bored and not difficult to manage.
The toddlers were disasters. Mothers were on the run all afternoon keeping up with their toddlers,
who wanted nothing more than to climb over the rails. But by the end of the afternoon, it was the
mothers who were ready to throw themselves over!
Finally, the cruise lasted too long –long enough for some of the party to drink too much and long
enough for others to get desperate for dry land and peace and quiet.
The outcome of this event was a real lesson to the event planner in planning for the audience9
everyone who came), in selecting the venue, and in timing. An evening party would have ensured
that at least the toddlers would have been left at home.
Questions:
1. What were the three complications?
2. How could these problems have been avoided?
3. List the types of events affected by weather.
4. What are the some general suggestions for avoiding weather problems?
Case let 2
You are going to rent a venue for a fashion show. The venue you have in mind is an old theater
that lends itself well to the event, with excellent sight lines for the audience. However, the decor
and lighting planned by your artistic director for your fashion parade may compromise safety.
Drapes over the ceiling area will obscure the normal lighting and will prevent the fire sensors and
sprinklers from working correctly. Also, there are a number of props that may hinder access into
and out of the venue. On the other hand, the audience expected is quite small.
