WHAT IS A VENUE MANAGER?

WHAT'S NEXT?

CONTRACT HIGHLIGHTS

  • The next time you will hear from us will be about 90 days before your event date, when you will receive your final invoice for your venue rental fee
  • At that time our logistics manager will check in with you to collect more details about your event, book your rehearsal day/time (if applicable) and to be your point of contact for any questions you have as you get closer to your event date.
  • We will ask for your floorplan, and we recommend using AllSeated to create your ceremony, cocktail hour and reception layouts. Just search for Savannah Bottle Works to load a to-scale model of our venue and start playing! If we have your floorplan, then our staff can setup our tables and chairs for you.
  • Need to see the venue in person again? You can also book an existing client/vendor tour to do walkthroughs with your vendors. We strongly recommend doing a walkthrough with your caterer around the 30 day mark, which is also a great time to check in on what furniture pieces we have for you to use and finalize your plan with your vendors
  • Please see your contract for decor restrictions and guidelines

    • 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.
