Welcome to Citizens ballroom
For Our Clients
CONGRATULATIONS ON SETTING YOUR EVENT DATE AND FINDING YOUR VENUE!
WE CANâT WAIT TO CELEBRATE WITH YOU. SO, NOW WHAT?
PLANNING
WHAT IS A VENUE MANAGER?
WHAT'S NEXT?
The venue manager represents the venue and is in charge of making sure the facilities are operating smoothly. That includes opening and closing the venue, keeping an eye on the AC, keeping bathrooms clean during your event, setting up and breaking down our house furniture and making sure guests and vendors are using the venue safely. To clarify, they are not a wedding planner or coordinator and will not be keeping an eye on your timeline or event flow.
We will always do what we can to help you if anything fell through the cracks in the planning process (something always does!) but our first duty is to the venue and the safety of the guests. If there is a drink spilled on the floor, for example, they would focus on that as their first priority.
