Elite Events Rental is looking for a new full time event coordinator. We rent tables, chairs, linens, dishes, vases and other items for weddings and events. We also offer an event decorating service. We need someone to help us work directly with customers to develop orders; decorate weddings and events; pack orders and check in returns; and clean items upon return.
This is an excellent opportunity to get your foot in the door of the event industry. No experience necessary. You will be exposed to a variety of venues and event professionals, giving you an opportunity to learn the places and faces of the event industry in Lincoln, Nebraska. You will witness the amount of communication and coordination involved in event planning. You will assist in on-the-spot problem solving and decision making. You will learn that behind the fantasy and glamour of the event industry, there is a lot of hard work.
This is a full-time position. We are looking for someone to start immediately. A typical schedule would be Monday-Friday 9am-5pm and occasionally a few hours on Saturday for appointments or to decorate weddings. This position would NOT require you to work evenings. Starting salary is $34,000 with vacation and SIMPLE IRA match benefits.
You will work with brides, caterers, venues and event planners to determine their rental needs and develop their order. Strong customer service skills are a must. You will help brides select linens, place settings and centerpieces based on their needs. You will answer questions about the rental process, check availability, enter reservation orders and take payments. You must be comfortable with computers.
Most of the decorating opportunities take place Friday and Saturday mornings. Tasks may include setting out table linens, folding napkins, and setting out place settings, decorating fabric backdrops and setting up centerpieces. A typical setup will last 1-4 hours.
Additional opportunities include networking with local event professionals, designing table displays for our showroom, sourcing new rental items and assisting with our marketing efforts including planning a local bridal fair.
Part of the job is in the backroom where you will be responsible for quality control, so attention to detail is a must. Everything that goes out comes back dirty. You will also be responsible for counting in inventory, noting damage, and sorting items for cleaning. We will need you to help wash linens, dishes and chairs, making sure items are ready for the next customer. We also press all linens in house. You will have to help load and unload customer orders, including tables and chairs. This is hard work. It involves a lot of repetitive tasks and requires you to be on your feet for a long period of time.
We are a small business. We are looking for a team member with independent work skills who has a strong ability to take initiative and multi-task.
Please email a quick description of your skill set and previous work experience. Provide reasons why you are the right candidate for the job. Also note your start date availability.
