Hosting a banquet dinner involves a lot of coordination, guesswork, and... frankly... wine!
Important Considerations
Fixed Vs Variable Cost
If your department has found an excellent venue that requires a fixed cost contract, you may want to give your consideration of it further thought.
If there may be an important scholarly commitment, such as a midterm, the day following the banquet this may add risk to being able to get the attendance needed to justify the banquet dinner financially. If you're a department, ask your year reps to do some checking on your behalf.
If there is substantial risk, consider moving forward with a venue which may not be as appealing but that can accomodate a change in numbers a few days before.
