Yes, we will have staff there on your event day. And while they have specific duties that they will be working on, they are available if you have questions or need help. The following list will help clarify what their role will be on your day – we don’t call our staff wedding coordinators, as they are there to help coordinate venue-related things. But our staff cares about each and every event that walks through the door, as they understand that working on someone’s wedding is more than just a job, you are with someone on what is one of the most important days of their lives and we do take that responsibility seriously.
Set up of all tables and chairs for ceremony, reception, buffet, cake area, gift, sign-in, unity and any additional tables that may be needed.
Put out white tablecloths (if you are bringing in different tablecloths you will be responsible for putting them on the tables).
Set up Troutdale House decorations. This includes, but is not limited to:
“Flip” and reset Main Room/Courtyard/Lodge/Wine Cellar after ceremony. This includes setting out any decorations you are using that belong to The Troutdale House. If you are bringing in decorations of your own, please make sure you have people available from your group to set up these items (during setup time & reset/flip time).
Lining up, coordination and queuing of bridal party down the aisle for ceremony
Explain bar setup and show group/vendors where venue items are kept
Welcome and answer questions from wedding group/vendors
Control and adjust air conditioning and heating
Light gas ovens for caters or wedding group
Focus on security inside and outside of venue by monitoring security cameras and walking grounds
Enforce and inform guests of rules and regulations if needed
Stock bathrooms with toilet paper/paper towels/seat covers/soap, as well as provide trash bags, electrical cords, etc.
Venue coordinators are the first to arrive and the last to leave. Shifts can be 10+ hours, please keep in mind that they may eat dinner and to include enough food in your catering plans for your coordinators and vendors.
Coordinators receive breaks and meal times. They may leave the venue for a short time (if schedule allows) to pick something up. They will communicate with you if they choose to leave for a break.
You may have a different coordinator at your rehearsal then you have on your event day. We make every effort to schedule accordingly, but it is not always possible to meet them before your event.
Coordinators have their own duties at closing time; they will help direct cleanup, answer questions and do a walkthrough of the venue before you leave at the end of the day.
Serving or setting up of your food, beverage, cake or decorations (we will set up venue decorations that you are using)
Playing music or slideshows (we will show people how the equipment works)
Making announcements over the sound system (we will ask guests to take a seat before ceremony)
Create or execute all day timelines (we do appreciate a copy if you make one)
Wait on tables or clear them off – you are responsible for putting all garbage into garbage cans and taking out the decorations you brought in with you.
Steam clothing, linens or other fabric (we will show someone how the steamers work)
Wash borrowed items from our kitchen. It is the group’s responsibility to wash any drink container, coffee percolator, trays, etc. before you leave at the end of the night.
Hang any overhead decorations from the ceiling or overhead in our ceremony sites; this includes decorations from our inventory (we ask to put someone in charge of any hanging decorations in a manner that does not damage property and must be taken down properly at the end of the night during cleanup).
