Will the venue manager be there the day of my event?

The Fulton West venue manager will be on-site during set up, event time through event strike. The venue manager is on-site to help maintain the general facilities, ensure the space is clean and comfortable and that policies are being adhered to. 

Our venue managers are not set up staff. Client is responsible for all of their own set up, clean up and strike. We highly recommend a full service caterer, event planner and/or hired staff to help with set up, tear down and event management.
