Assistant Wedding Coordinator

Overview
We are adding to our Wedding Team through a unique opportunity to cycle through and learn all the core functions of throwing a wedding.

The right candidates are highly organized, strong leaders, kind to their core, hard working, and genuinely want to be in service to others.

You must have the ability to work well with others and lead at the same time, move from one task to another quickly, and always make our guests and other team members feel appreciated and welcome.

This position starts by learning EACH position involved in hosting a wedding, so successful candidates will need to spend time in several departments. You will learn catering, florals, music management, venue setup and breakdown, and other related skills.

Only candidates who excel in most if not all categories will be invited to stay.

For some, this will be a one season (6 month) job where you learn a lot and meet a lot of nice people.

For others, you may be invited back for another season in one of the roles you learned (ex: Catering) or to learn more and try again to master the skills necessary to move into the coordination team.

For those who do exceptionally well, you have the opportunity for a full time, year round position in wedding coordination and planning.
