4 ways our venue managers ensure your event runs smoothly
When it comes to executing an unforgettable event, many people think of the event planners, the entertainers, or the caterers. But at The Century, there's also a team of professionals working behind the scenes to ensure your event runs smoothly. After you sign your contract with The Century, you’ll be connected with a venue manager. Consider this expert to be your gatekeeper to our venue, your planner's best ally, and the person who ensures that our space aligns with your vision, needs and expectations.
1. Communication
One of the most vital functions of a venue manager is being the primary point of contact for event organizers and vendors. From the moment you choose The Century, your manager is there to answer questions, provide support, and help event planners navigate the ins and outs of the venue. Whether it's providing floor plans, sharing policies, or addressing last-minute requests, the venue manager ensures communication is clear and consistent.
2. Logistics management
Venue managers are heavily involved in the logistics of your event. Our team ensures the venue is set up according to the event’s specific requirements. This includes arranging tables and chairs, ensuring lights are functioning correctly, coordinating when vendors arrive, and even managing staff on the day of the event. They are responsible for making sure everything flows smoothly so that you and your guests can enjoy the event.
3. Problem-solving
Things rarely go 100% according to plan, and venue managers are experts at handling those unexpected moments. Whether it’s a last-minute change in guest count, a sudden weather shift for an outdoor event, or a technical glitch, the venue manager is equipped to work with your other vendors and adapt as needed.
4. Supervision
On the day of your event, venue managers are hands-on, overseeing all elements of the venue's operations. It goes far beyond just opening doors and turning off the lights when the event ends. They arrive early to finalize the room configuration, brief staff, oversee parking and check in with the event planners to confirm the schedule and any last-minute changes.
Our venue managers work behind the scenes, but their contribution to an event’s success cannot be overstated. We are so grateful for our managers, Lea, Erin, Katie and Dania for holding the venue’s operations together — ensuring that every detail is managed and that all vendors, clients, and guests have a seamless experience.
