Hola Garry
These verbs all have different meanings (except for ser and estar that are both "to be" but used in different scenarios in Spanish).
"... y esta noche va a haber una cena..."
This is "there's going to be..." not "it's going to be..."
Then, for:
"...la decoración va a ser muy elegante y el menú va a ser muy variado"
you need "ser" because this is saying "is going to be" not "there's going to be..."
Again, the last one needs haber:
"...va a haber música"
there's going to be...
Remember, if the word "there..." is there, you will need haber.
If you remember well, you have this in all tenses with haber:
There is / there are = hay
There was = había or hubo
There will be = habrá
There is going to be = va a haber
Have a look here so you can see haber (impersonal haber) it in all tenses.
I hope this clarified it.
Saludos
Inma
