About Norwood Vineyard
Norwood Vineyard is a family-owned vineyard and wedding venue nestled in Jonesboro, Georgia about 15 minutes south of the Atlanta airport. We are not a traditional winery - we are a beautifully curated outdoor and semi-outdoor event space where couples come to celebrate one of the most important days of their lives. Our garden pavilion and vineyard grounds create a naturally stunning backdrop for weddings, receptions, and intimate celebrations.
We host several weddings and events per year (April-December), and our couples trust us to help make their day effortless and unforgettable. Most of our brides do not come with a wedding planner - which means our team steps in to fill that role with warmth, professionalism, and precision. We are a growing, family-operated venue, and we are looking for someone who wants to grow with us.
The Role
This is a dual-purpose, part-time role that sits at the heart of what we do. On wedding days, you are our couples' greatest advocate - the calm, organized presence that makes sure everything flows flawlessly from rehearsal through the final dance. In between events, you are the first voice prospective couples hear when they reach out about our venue - someone who can paint the picture of what their day could look like and guide them confidently through the booking process.
This role is ideal for someone who has hands-on experience with weddings - whether as a coordinator, venue staff, or hospitality professional - and who is ready to bring that expertise to a venue they can genuinely call their own. You must love the outdoors, love people, and thrive in an environment where no two weekends are exactly the same.
This role has the potential to grow into full wedding planning services as the venue expands its offerings - making it a meaningful opportunity for someone looking to build something long-term with a family-owned business.
What You'll Do

- Serve as the primary point of contact for all vendors on the wedding day - caterers, DJs, photographers, florists, officiants, and more

What We're Looking For
- A natural, authentic love for working with people — warm, confident, and genuinely hospitality-minded

- Calm under pressure with strong and professional communication skills
- Able to be on your feet for 5 to 10 hours and lift up to 30 lbs
- A team player who loves working in a tight-knit small-family business environment but can also work independently when needed

- Wedding tours happen during the week as well as select Sundays (12pm-4pm)
