We are seeking a passionate and motivated Event Coordinator to join our team based in Edmonton, Alberta. This role is part-time to start, with the possibility of moving into a full-time position for the right candidate. This is an incredible opportunity for someone looking to grow their career in the events industry while contributing to extraordinary celebrations.

This role isn’t for someone seeking a traditional 9-to-5 office environment with set hours. It’s for someone who thrives on variety, embraces challenges, and is excited to roll up their sleeves and bring unforgettable events to life. You’ll excel in this role if:

• You are self-motivated and work effectively both independently and in a team setting.
• You value flexibility in your work environment, whether at home, in the office, or on-site.
• Long, high-energy days (and nights) on event days don’t faze you.
• You pride yourself on being highly organized, detail-oriented, and thorough.
• You are a polished and professional communicator, both in writing and in person.
• You enjoy engaging with people and thrive in social, high-energy environments.
• You are passionate about creating extraordinary client experiences.
• You are eager to learn, contribute ideas, and innovate alongside a reputable, industry-leading team.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assist in planning and executing weddings and events, including logistics coordination, vendor management, and on-site support.
• Maintain clear and professional communication with clients, vendors, and team members.
• Assist in compiling design decks, including sourcing inspiration, creating mood boards, sourcing décor and other event elements that align with the client’s vision.
• Provide hands-on support during event set-up, execution, and teardown.
• Assist with marketing and PR initiatives, including blogging, social media posts / reels, publication submissions and other activities to promote and publicize the company.
• Provide general administrative support as required.

Qualifications:

• A passion for weddings and events, with some experience in event planning and/or transferrable skills and experience from a related field, such as customer service, marketing or digital media.
• Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills.
• Ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment.
• Availability to work evenings, weekends, and long hours during event days.
• A valid driver’s license and access to reliable transportation.

Compensation and Perks:

• Compensation is competitive and in line with the events industry, based on experience and the successful candidate.
• Opportunity to travel, as we’ve produced weddings across Western Canada, the US, and internationally.
• Professional development opportunities to grow your career.
