Is the ACT Event Manager the same thing as a Day-Of-Coordinator?

We are glad you asked—they are not quite the same. For weddings and large events, a Day-Of-Coordinator is with the client every step of the day, providing last-minute tweaks to a dress or tracking down a groomsman who got lost right before pictures. ACT’s Event Manager is on-site primarily to oversee guest safety, to coordinate the greeters and the IATSE Technician schedules, and to manage the event overlap with other shows and activities in the building. The Event Manager’s responsibilities prevent them from devoting their attention to the duties of a Day-Of-Coordinator.

ACT does offer Day-Of-Coordination packages to ensure everything runs beautifully for your big day! More information on Creative Staffing Packages through ACT here.
