Beverage, Catering, & Dining

We want your event to go as smoothly as possible, and a big part of that is making sure your designated Day of Event Contact is fully prepared! Below is a helpful guide to ensure everything runs seamlessly.

​

  • Onsite Presence: Your contact needs to be onsite for the entire time of your rental. They’ll be there to help manage event day needs and work with vendors during setup and breakdown. Keep in mind that the California Seltzer Co. Event Manager is there to assist, but your contact will be in charge of overseeing these tasks.

  • Event Day Coordinator: Think of your designated contact as the coordinator for the day! Here’s what they should be ready for:

​

  1. Know the Schedule: Be familiar with the event timeline, including when the venue is available for move-in and move-out.

  2. Check In: Make sure to introduce themselves to the California Seltzer Co. Event Manager when they arrive during move-in.

  3. Vendor Contacts: Know who the vendors are and how to reach them.

  4. Approved Plans: Be up-to-date on the event plans you’ve agreed on with the venue.

  5. Vendor Equipment: Know what equipment vendors are bringing and what’s needed.

  6. Help with Vendors: Be available to assist the California Seltzer Co. Event Manager if any questions or issues with vendors come up during move-in.

  7. Decision Making: They should be comfortable making decisions on your behalf if something unexpected happens during the event.

  8. Stay Until the End: Your contact will need to stay until all vendors have packed up and moved out. Don’t forget to check out with the California Seltzer Co. Event Manager to make sure everything is wrapped up on time!

  9. Track Move-Out: If any vendors are running late, your contact should know who’s behind schedule. The California Seltzer Co. will only track the final move-out time, and any delay over 30 minutes will result in a minimum 1-hour overtime charge.

  10. If Someone Else Takes Over: If your contact needs to step away at any point, they should introduce their replacement to the California Seltzer Co. Event Manager and stay reachable by phone.
