Job Summary
We are seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented Wedding Co-Ordinator to join our dynamic team. The ideal candidate will possess a passion for creating unforgettable experiences and ideally have a background in hospitality and weddings.
Please see details below for more understanding on the role overall.

Evening Manager
Initially, the role will primarily be the Wedding Evening Manager on the wedding days themselves; assisting the day manager with food service, both from the kitchen and in the dining room and learning how to coordinate the events in the evening of a wedding such as cake cuts, first dance, evening food etc as well as close down & lock up at the end of the night.
