HDH Events specializes in corporate and formal events. This event
company was founded in 1996. For over 20 years, we have established a
foundation, built our staff, and promoted our brand. Our experience has
given us the chance to see all that goes on behind the scenes and on site
giving us a broader perspective on corporate events. Our staff consists of
trustable expertise for various parts of executing corporate events. We have
creative thinking on our side and use it to create more than just a typical
corporate function.

We have had the opportunity to work with various corporations and

gain expertise on multiple levels. Companies we have worked with are: The
Coca Cola Company, GM Motors, Elle Canada Magazine, and Tim Hortons.

We plan on also having the opportunity to work with The Rezik

Corporation and host the meeting and gala. With our team and your
attendees, we could create a well put together 100 year anniversary event.
This proposal will include all the details on how HDH Events could pull off a
successful corporate function.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Rezik Corporation RFP 2016

Page 7

The National Managers meeting will take place on Friday, May 5 th 2017. The
100-year anniversary dinner will take place on Saturday, May 6 TH 2017. These
dates were selected because of the time period in the year. Generally, after May,
employees plan for vacation for the following months. May is also a warm time of
the year. The risk of cancelling the event due to weather issues will be very low.
Guests arriving from outside of Canada will also be able to have a smoother
trip ;y and easier transition. It is also a great time of the year to tour the city and
view the attractions.

Theme/Slogan

The theme for the Anniversary Gala dinner will be a Las Vegas theme.
The slogan we have chosen is, A winning cause.
This theme has been chosen due to the energy Las Vegas brings to an
audience. The feelings associated with this theme consist of excitement and
good times. Rezik Corporation holds these annual events with the staff to
encourage building relationships and networking. This theme correlates with
their objective. It will be a fun way of getting the audience to interact at this
corporate event and make it memorable.

Menu: Catering Option

We have chosen Daniel et Daniel to be our caterer for the gala. They are a Toronto run
events and catering company. We have decided to use their catering services due to their close
location to our venue and the 35 years of experience they have with events, specifically with
corporate events. The menu options they have available under corporate events are sit down
dinner, cocktail reception, and cocktail & dinner station menus.
Daniel et Daniel offers dish options that includes seasonal foods which makes the dishes
fresher and better tasting. They also include local trends such as bite sized hors doeurvres.
They offer putting together menus to suit the theme of the event, in this case, our Las Vegas
theme.
We have put together a mock cocktail reception, dinner and dessert menu from their
corporate and sit down dinner menus provided to display a sample of what could be served at
the gala. All menu items are options that this company provides. Dietary restrictions are
available upon request. Further documents of Daniel et Daniel will be included in the Appendix.

Service Style
Cocktail Reception:
We will have Butlered Hors d Oeuvres Service for the reception. Servers will
walk around to guests and serve the foods on trays. Guests can use napkins
or toothpicks to serve themselves the food.
For every 8 guests there should be 1 server. Therefore there should be 31-32
servers available throughout the night.
Dinner and Dessert:
The dinner and dessert will be Plated American style, excluding the Reverse
Smores Station. This style of service consists of portioning the meals on the
plates in the kitchen, then the servers serving the guests from their right and
serving drinks from their left. The dishes, when the time comes, will be
cleared from the left of the guests. Since about 32 servers will be hired,
everyone will receive their food in an efficient manner and would not have to
wait long to start eating. The dessert will also be served from the guests
right and cleared from their left.
Action Stations:
An action station is when the chefs bring their work out in front of the guests.
Whatever dish the chef is preparing, the guests will be able to see how it is
Rezik Corporation RFP 2016

Page 24

made, choose what they want or dont want in their dish, and be entertained
all at the same time.
There will be 2 action stations throughout the event. The first will be the
Seafood Tasting station during the reception in the foyer. The second will be
the Reverse Smores station during dessert in the hall.
