- Go-To Resource: Serving as the accessible, friendly point of contact for early vendor arrivals and any immediate questions.
PM Shift: Executing the Vision & Closing As the evening Venue Manager, you will typically arrive before the ceremony begins. Your focus is on execution, safety, and a smooth event and wrap-up. Responsibilities include:
- Detail Verification: Arriving before the ceremony to ensure all final venue arrangements and bar services are meticulously aligned with the day’s timeline before the event begins.

- Ready to step in for any situations: conflict resolution, cleaning spills, last minute furniture moving, cleaning bathrooms, etc. This is a fluid role that does require being ready for any situation.
