    • Serve as the main point of contact for event guests from first inquiry through post-event follow-up
    • Respond promptly and professionally to guest emails, calls, and in-person questions
    • Plan and coordinate corporate outings, team-building events, fundraisers, celebrations, and more
    • Help guests define event details including budget, timing, menus, layouts, themes, staffing, and equipment
    • Communicate event details clearly to internal teams and event staff
    • Coordinate logistics and staffing from setup through breakdown
    • Stay present during events to ensure smooth execution and quickly resolve issues
    • Follow approved pricing guidelines and confidently close event contracts

    • Participate in weekly meetings, BEO meetings, and required trainings
    • Follow up with guests after events to gather feedback and ensure satisfaction
    • Support promotions, internal events, and community outreach efforts as needed

    What We’re Looking For

    • 2+ years of event planning experience (hospitality, entertainment, or recreation preferred)
    • 1+ year of experience in event sales or a client-facing sales role
