Draw a BPMN model to represent the process described.

Event planning companies have some procedures to provide services for their customers. Whenever there is a new client asking for the service, he/she is asked to fill out a form containing the event information such as budget, number of guests, and location whether it is outdoor or indoor etc. Starting by this information the agency looks for suitable locations and takes care of the rest. If the party is inside, a hall has to be rented. However, if the party is outside, an area, a tent and an authorization to make noise (music) are needed. As for music, there are two types: live music and CDs. The agency itself, and not the client, chooses between these options. Live music is preferred, but it is expensive, and requires more time to select a band. If the CD option is chosen, the sound system has to be prepared. In case live music is chosen, things are more complicated. First, a band is selected. Then a letter is sent to the band inviting them to play at the party. If the band doesnt reply within a week, a new band is picked and the process is repeated. If the second band replies, there are again two possibilities: either they are interested or not. In the second case a new band is picked and the process is repeated. In the first case, however, the band is not hired right away. First, the agency needs to see and listen to the band to check whether they are good enough. If the event planner is not able to find a band in time, the CD option is chosen. Take into consideration that previous selected bands are not evaluated again but hired right away. After having taken care of the location and the music, they also take care of the food and the beverages. Notice here that if there is a band then additional food and beverages is ordered for the musicians. Finally, and to make sure that everything is fine, the event planner takes a look at the party an hour before it is started and then after the party, takes the review and sends the bill to the client.
