Organising a smooth running function is not easy. But, anyone planning an event needs to organise every last detail, get the itemised costing and preferably pay up front to avoid this sort of embarrassment.
This is embarrassing to everyone in the industry and should heed a warning to anyone planning similar with no experience.
Practise on a few cookouts for your friends first and if they go like clockwork (ie. you don’t run out of beer and steak) then on to bigger things.
As for towels, always take them from someone else’s room or off the housekeepers linen trolley. :bigsmile:
