Catering and Events Manager

A Collection Unlike Any Other

The Ocean House Collection includes three luxury properties on the Rhode Island shoreline.

Ocean House is the Collection’s Forbes Five-Star flagship, offering 49 guest rooms, 20 signature suites, and 13 private villa vacation homes. Amenities include a 12,000-square-foot Ocean & Harvest Spa, over 10,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting space, and up to 8 unique dining venues in peak season.

Weekapaug Inn delivers a relaxed but luxurious New England experience. With 29 guest rooms and 4 signature suites, the inn’s dining celebrates seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, enhanced by bespoke resort activities and naturalist-led excursions.

Watch Hill Inn, founded in 1845, combines historical charm with cutting-edge technology across 21 suite-style accommodations. Guests enjoy access to the full range of amenities, dining, and experiences at both Ocean House and Weekapaug Inn.

Control revenues and expenditures, recommending future budget appropriations.
Review final billing with accounting team for accuracy prior to client delivery.
Update and publish the monthly Resort Activity Calendar to include all in-house events.
Provide support to catering team colleagues.
Recruit and coordinate volunteers and contract service employees (e.g., musicians, artists, entertainers).
Book all music and entertainment for resort venues, handling travel, housing, and contract negotiations.
Coordinate with the Resort florist on weekly, monthly, and holiday décor.
