Event Coordinator

About the Role

Allenberry is in the midst of an exciting transformation. We're restoring one of Pennsylvania's most iconic resorts while creating a destination centered on wellness, learning, creativity, outdoor recreation, and meaningful human connection. From executive retreats and leadership programs to weddings, family celebrations, corporate gatherings, and special events, our goal is simple: create experiences that leave people better than they arrived.

We're looking for an experienced Event Coordinator to become the organizational center of our event operation.

This is much more than an administrative position. You'll take the details of a booked event and bring them together into a clear, coordinated plan — making sure our clients, event leads, and departments across the resort know what needs to happen and when.

Working under the direction of our Director of Restaurant and Event Operations and closely with our Director of Group Sales, you'll coordinate events from the sales handoff through execution. You'll work across food & beverage, lodging, guest services, facilities, spa, activities, and other areas of the resort to make sure nothing falls through the cracks.

We're specifically looking for someone who brings meaningful event experience. We want you to bring what you've learned elsewhere to Allenberry and help us continue improving how we plan and execute exceptional events.

Who You Are

You love bringing order to complexity.You can look at an event with dozens of moving pieces and understand what needs to happen, who needs to know about it, and what details still need attention.You're highly organized, but you're also a hospitality person. You understand that a BEO, timeline, or checklist isn't the end product — an exceptional guest experience is.You're comfortable providing direction to others while also working collaboratively with department leaders.
