Meet the Venue Producers at The Glasshouse: Crafting Events with Expertise and Passion
The Experts
Behind Every Event
At The Glasshouse, every event is a finely tuned experience, brought to life by a dedicated team of experts. Leading that charge are the venue producers—the people behind the scenes making sure every detail, big or small, goes off without a hitch.
Recently, we elevated the title of our project managers to venue producers, a move that truly reflects their hands-on role in shaping our clients' events.
We caught up with
Robert Rivera and
Jade Gardner, two of The Glasshouse’s talented venue producers, to hear their thoughts on the shift and what makes their job so unique.
From Project Manager to Venue Producer:
What’s in a Name?
For both Robert and Jade, the title change from project manager to venue producer wasn’t just a tweak, but rather a recognition of the full scope of their roles.
“Project manager is such a broad title,” Robert says. “You can be a project manager in construction or finance. But venue producer? That’s specific to what we do. It lets us get involved from the planning stage, not just showing up on the day of.”
Jade shares a similar view: “The venue producer title just makes sense. It better describes what we actually do.”
Their efforts are more than just logistics—they’re about creating a
welcoming environment, fostering long-lasting relationships, and
elevating the overall experience for our clients.
A Day in the Life of a Venue Producer
No two days look the same for Robert and Jade, which is part of the excitement. On non-event days, Robert’s day kicks off with setting up and connecting with clients to make sure everything is running smoothly.
Jade describes these as days filled with emails, site visits, and making sure everything’s lined up for the next big event. “New ideas always pop up!” she laughs.
Event days, however, are a different beast. “We’re on the floor, checking in with the client, guiding them through the day, and keeping everything on schedule,” says Jade.
Robert agrees: “It’s about being there, making sure all the details are perfect and ready for anything.”
Their hands-on approach and
personal touch are why so many clients continue to host events with us year after year—knowing they’ll always have a team that’s fully invested in their vision.
WHY VENUE PRODUCERS
ARE ESSENTIAL
Venue producers are at the heart of every event at The Glasshouse.
Their job goes beyond just making sure the logistics run smoothly—they’re the glue that holds everything together.
“We connect with all departments and make sure the client feels supported from start to finish,” says Robert.
“That’s why people keep coming back.” Jade adds, “We’re there from the planning stages, and by the time the event rolls around, we know everything inside out. That’s what makes the execution flawless.”
This
attention to detail and dedication to hospitality ensure that each event not only meets expectations but surpasses them, resulting in long-term partnerships with clients who trust us to make every event as special as the last.
WHAT MAKES THE JOB
WORTH IT
Robert and Jade love the variety of events they get to work on.
“One day it’s a climate change conference, the next day it’s a gala for the top planners in the world,” Jade says. “You never know what’s coming, and that’s what keeps it exciting.”
When asked about their favorite events, Robert points to the Roku and Fashion Scholarship Fund events, while Jade is quick to mention The Great Wines Tasting event and No Kid Hungry event.
“No Kid Hungry felt like being on the set of a Food Network show with all the top-tier chefs,” she recalls.
LOOKING
AHEAD
Both Robert and Jade are excited about what’s next.
Robert is all about growth: “I’m looking forward to evolving the role and seeing how we can push the boundaries even further.”
Jade is on the lookout for more fashion and film events, saying, “The possibilities are endless at The Glasshouse, and I can’t wait to see what’s next.”
Both agree that it’s the opportunity to help clients bring their vision to life, time and time again, that makes their job rewarding.
