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.

The wedding venue for Haley and Marco’s Palm Springs destination wedding, Toscana Country Club, is unique from most desert venues in that it has lush landscaping, gorgeous stone architecture, and truly feels like you are in Italy. As Palm Springs Wedding Planners and Designers, we decided to embrace the Tuscan vibe of the venue while incorporating a little bit of Palm Springs character.

The result? Tuscan Garden meets Palm Springs Glam! Romantic, floral and contemporary with a splash of edginess. Our colour story was based around olive green, cream and dusty rose, with accents of black and ochre yellow.

Haley had recently graduated culinary school, so food and drinks were very important! Immediately following the ceremony, tray-passed appetizers were served on the Garden Terrace, as guests enjoyed the scenery and live music.

Palm Springs has always been a bucket list destination for us, so when we got the call from Haley and Marco, it was a match made in wedding planning heaven!

Over 150 guests joined the couple in the Palm Springs area for a weekend of celebration. It was important that we designed events reflective of Haley and Marco’s fun-loving personalities. They are social butterflies and love to host their friends – FUN was a priority!

Haley and Marco hosted a “welcome fiesta” on Cinco de Mayo the day prior to the wedding (since it fell on May 5th). The event was held at a private residence in Indian Wells, and was brightly decorated with vibrant colours, florals and pool lanterns. Guests indulged in signature margaritas, tacos and churros, and were serenaded by a Mariachi band. It was the perfect way to kick off the weekend festivities.

Claudia and Liz’s destination wedding at Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge radiated beauty – both of the scenery and their love for one another. Over 100 of their nearest and dearest travelled from across Canada to celebrate them in late September, an absolutely stunning time of year in the Rocky Mountains.

Their outdoor ceremony was set in front of the glistening turquoise waters of Lac Beauvert on Whistlers Plateau, and they dined and danced in the Golf Clubhouse with both a band and DJ keeping guests on their feet all night long!

Avery and James celebrated their summer wedding at Edmonton’s Castle in the River Valley, the Fairmont Hotel Macdonald. Over 200 guests joined to celebrate Avery and James, as they exchanged vows on the Empire Terrace under a lush, English garden inspired floral arch and sunny blue skies. An ice cream cart kept guests cool while the couple took photos with their Wedding Party throughout the afternoon.

The reception was held inside the Empire Ballroom, where a palette of subdued peaches, blush and dusty blue perfectly accented the traditional Fairmont aesethetic. After a delicious meal, guests enjoyed dancing the night away.
