Full Job Description

Join our Team!

Do you love events and event logistics?
Do you get goosebumps when the music swells at a wedding ceremony?
Do you love color-coded timelines, perfectly fluffed centerpieces, and happy tears?
Would you like to help coordinate events and weddings for about 20-25 hours per week?
Do you want to work evenings and weekends?

If you answered “YES!” while mentally rearranging a table layout… keep reading.

About Us

Our venue isn’t just a backdrop - it’s a living, breathing conservatory filled with lush greenery, warm glasshouses, and unforgettable moments. From romantic weddings to corporate celebrations, we help create memories that last a lifetime. Now, we’re looking for someone who can help us make the magic happen.

What You’ll Do (AKA: Make Dreams Bloom)

Coordinate Stunning Weddings & Events

From first inquiry to final breakdown, you’ll guide clients through:

Wedding ceremonies, receptions & rehearsals

Showers, cocktail parties & corporate events

Internal and fundraising celebrations

Décor drop-offs, vendor coordination & day-of execution
You’ll lead client meetings, build thoughtful event plans, manage bookings software, and ensure every detail is buttoned up (literally and figuratively).

Live the “Wow, Wonder, Welcome” Culture

Answer emails and calls promptly and kindly

Build warm, lasting relationships with clients and vendors

Solve problems creatively (because events always keep you on your toes)

Send thoughtful thank-you notes and follow-ups
You’re not just coordinating events — you’re creating lifelong memories rooted in empathy, positivity, and professionalism.

Yes, There’s Some Lifting Involved

You’ll:

Set up and break down tables, chairs & décor

Lift and move items up to 50 lbs

Work in warm, humid greenhouse environments and outdoors

Stay energized during evenings, weekends & holidays
This role is equal parts planner and powerhouse.

Be Part of the Bigger Picture

Assist with venue tours to book new clients

Collaborate with Marketing on social posts, blogs & brochures

Help drive glowing online reviews

Work cross-departmentally to support fundraising and community events
You’ll be a true ambassador of the Botanical Gardens — internally and externally.

You Might Be Our Perfect Match If You…

Have an Associate’s degree (or equivalent experience) in hospitality or related field
Have at least 1 year of event or wedding planning experience
Thrive in fast-paced environments without missing details
Love timelines, checklists, and color-coded spreadsheets
Are self-motivated, reliable, and team-oriented
Have strong written & verbal communication skills
Are creative, calm under pressure, and solutions-focused
Have solid computer skills

What It’s Really Like

One minute you’re guiding a bride through her ceremony layout.
The next, you’re fluffing ferns in a humid conservatory.

Then you’re sending thank-you cards, updating the shared calendar, and brainstorming a new marketing idea.

It’s joyful. It’s fast-paced. It’s meaningful. And it’s never boring.

Ready to Help Love Flourish?

If you’re enthusiastic, organized, creative, and ready to turn beautiful spaces into unforgettable celebrations — we’d love to meet you.

Come grow with us!
