Event Coordinator and Staff

ABOUT THE POINT

The Point is San Diego's best waterfront event venue, nestled between Mission Bay and the Pacific Ocean. We host an incredible range of events — from weddings and bridal showers to corporate retreats, birthday parties, and celebrations of life. Our team is the heartbeat of every event we host, and we're looking for enthusiastic people to join us.

ROLE OVERVIEW

This is an entry-level, hands-on role for someone who loves people, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and takes pride in making events run smoothly. Your primary focus will be working events — being present, attentive, and ready for anything. No prior experience is required, but a great attitude, strong work ethic, and genuine love of hospitality are a must.

Weekend availability is required, as the majority of our events take place on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Flexibility for occasional weekday events is a plus.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

Running Events (Primary Focus)
• Serve as the on-site point of contact during events, ensuring everything runs on time and to plan
• Execute the event timeline and keep all moving parts — vendors, staff, and guests — on track
• Act as Day-Of Coordinator for weddings and larger events, cueing vendors and managing the flow of the day
• Provide warm, professional hospitality to clients and guests throughout every event
• Anticipate needs and solve problems on the fly — before clients or guests notice anything is off
• Bus tables, clear plates, and reset throughout the event — this is a core part of the role, not just occasional support

Setup & Breakdown
• Assist with full event setup: furniture arrangement, décor, table settings, A/V, and signage
• Help design and execute event floor plans based on client needs and venue layout
• Lead or assist with post-event breakdown, cleaning, and resetting the venue for the next event
• Help manage and organize venue supplies and equipment

Vendor & Client Coordination
• Greet and coordinate vendors on arrival, ensuring smooth load-in and setup per venue guidelines
• Communicate clearly with clients leading up to and during their event
• Support early-stage client communications and assist with venue tours for prospective clients

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
• Availability on weekends (Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays) — this is a firm requirement
• A positive, can-do attitude and genuine love of hospitality and event experiences
• Strong communication skills and a professional, friendly demeanor
• Ability to stay calm, organized, and solutions-focused in a busy environment
• Comfortable being on your feet for extended periods and lifting up to 50 lbs for setup/breakdown
• Team player who's just as happy bussing tables as coordinating a ceremony
• No prior event experience required — we will train the right person

WHY WORK WITH US
• Get hands-on experience running real events at a beautiful San Diego waterfront venue
• Work across a wide variety of events — weddings, corporate parties, birthdays, and more
• Be part of a fun, supportive team that takes their work seriously and has a great time doing it
• Build valuable event coordination and hospitality skills from day one
• Starting at $20/hr, with pay based on experience
