Collect signatures on a BEO

Learn how to get a Banquet Event Order (BEO) signed, what happens to the file after signing, and how to make changes to a signed BEO

Your Banquet Event Order (BEO) can double as an agreement. The signature block includes your cancellation and change policy and a space for each signing party's name, role, and email address. You can mark each party as required.

Collect signatures

  1. Fill in all required sections and fields (HoneyBook flags any that are empty, and signing stays unavailable until they're complete)

  2. Share the BEO with each signing party

  3. Each party signs, and HoneyBook records a timestamp with each signature

Once anyone signs, the file is locked for everyone, including you. A signature applies to a specific version of the BEO, so no one can change the content after signing. Smart fields also stop updating at this point.

Edit a signed BEO

To change a signed BEO, you need to remove the signature first.

  1. Open the signed BEO

  2. Remove the signature

  3. Choose whether the file reopens locked (only you can edit) or unlocked (everyone on the project can edit)

  4. Make your changes

Removing a signature voids it and creates a new version of the BEO. Every party needs to sign the new version.
