We love weddings and want to make sure you have the best day! This article is meant to help give you some ideas of how our team is able to support you on your wedding day. After reading this article, if you have any specific questions, please feel free to reach out directly to us at info@brixonfox.com.

Our BRIX event manager is onsite from the beginning of your event until the end. We open up and lock up the venue.   Our event manager is here to support your day with things like orienting your vendor team, providing general timeline support, ceremony support, and managing the physical environment.

Here's a little info on what this looks like on your wedding day.

Orienting vendors: We help make sure your vendors feel comfortable at The BRIX. We'll greet your vendors when they arrive at The BRIX and will answer any questions they have.

Some common examples of what this looks like on wedding day: We'll check in with your florist/decor team to make sure they are informed about about where dining tables are laid out, make sure your DJ feels comfortable on the sound system, and touch base with your photographer about how the space transitions so they can capture your important moments.

Timeline support: You photographer, caterer and DJ are generally responsible for the timeline.  That said, we monitor key components of your timeline and will help provide support to make sure your event runs smoothly. We do this by collaborating with your vendor team and making sure they are ready.  

Some common examples of what this looks like on wedding day: Helping direct deliveries to the correct place (i.e. cake deliveries/liquor), checking in with your photographer to make sure they got the room shots prior to inviting guests to the dining area, confirming DJ is ready for ceremony, making sure caterer is ready to serve (and that you are back from pictures) prior to opening curtain, etc.

Managing the physical environment: Our event manager helps to dim the house lights throughout your event, manage the heating and cooling, keep the bathrooms clean, etc. We'll also help make sure the venue remains clean throughout the event, and will even prompt other vendors (i.e. catering to bus cocktail tables, mop up spills, if needed).

Ceremony support: For onsite ceremonies, we will help support recessional and processional. During the processional, we will help to direct people to where they need to line up for the processional and open and close the curtains. We will also greet your late guests, helping them to find a seat in a discreet manner.   

As for ceremony timing, we will open curtains and let your wedding party enter in a way that facilitates the photographers to get shots.  We can speed it up if requested.  If you have specific timing and that's critical for you, we suggest you have someone (i.e. friend or coordinator) cue us and we will follow their lead.  Note that we sometimes need 15-30 seconds to fluff the dress, so if you have a particular place to walk in on a song, please let us know. 

One common question we get is "The team at the BRIX is so helpful! Do we need a coordinator as well?" We've written an article on that exact question help you decide if a coordinator is right for you.
