For Our Clients
CONGRATULATIONS ON SETTING YOUR EVENT DATE AND FINDING YOUR VENUE!
WE CAN’T WAIT TO CELEBRATE WITH YOU. SO, NOW WHAT?

WHAT IS A VENUE MANAGER?
WHAT'S NEXT?
CONTRACT HIGHLIGHTS
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.
- HAVE A PLAN FOR YOUR TRASH. VENUE DOES NOT PROVIDE TRASH CANS OR DUMPSTERS.
- everything must be out of the venue by the end of your rental window before overage charges occur.
- WE DO NOT PROVIDE PLANNING SERVICES. PLEASE READ MORE ABOUT THE ROLE OF OUR VENUE MANAGER
- THE BAR MUST CLOSE 1 HOUR BEFORE THE END OF YOUR EVENT, NOT THE END OF YOUR RENTAL WINDOW. IF YOUR GUESTS LEAVE AT 11PM, THEN THE BAR WOULD NEED TO CLOSE AT 10PM.
- OUR TEAM WILL SET UP YOUR FLOORPLAN. CHAIR AND/OR TABLE SETUP BEGINS AT THE START OF YOUR RENTAL WINDOW AND WILL NOT BE COMPLETE PRIOR TO YOUR ARRIVAL.

Please be reminded that the venue does not supply trash bins or bags. Please let us know who will be removing all event trash from the venue. Usually this is the caterer, so we will ask you to acknowledge that you have communicated with your caterer that they are responsible for removing all event trash from the venue.
Your caterer must provide bar service with host liquor liability coverage and TIPS/TAMs certified bartenders. Please see your contract for insurance limit requirements.
We welcome all licensed and insured caterers. Please be reminded all caterers must be licensed in the state in which they do business and provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI). At the 90 day mark we will ask for the name of the catering company you have chosen, your point of contact and his/her/their email address so that we may reach out to him/her/them for the required documents. Please see your contract for insurance limit requirements.
Please make sure you pass along the catering requirement addendum on the last page of your contract to your caterer or any prospective caterer so they know if they can meet the guidelines we require for them to work at Savannah Bottle Works.
reminder: bar must close 1 hour before event end time
reminder: We recommend purchasing event cancellation insurance. many clients use Wed Safe and Event Helper.
