Event Manager - $44100 to $73500 per YEAR

Spare Time Entertainment Madison, Wisconsin

Our company is a dynamic and vibrant entertainment and event planning establishment renowned for creating unforgettable experiences that bring people together. We specialize in hosting a variety of events including corporate outings, team-building activities, fundraisers, and celebrations, all tailored to meet the unique needs of our diverse clientele. With a lively and fast-paced environment filled with music, games, and interactive lighting effects, our venue attracts families, corporate groups, and individuals looking to celebrate special moments in a memorable setting. We pride ourselves on delivering exceptional client service, ensuring each event is executed flawlessly from start to finish. Our team is passionate about providing an engaging atmosphere that is both professional and fun, making every day at work an exciting opportunity to make a positive impact in the community.

The Event Coordinator plays a pivotal role as the primary point of contact for our event guests, guiding them through every stage of the event planning process — from the initial inquiry to the post-event follow-up. This role requires someone who is highly organized, detail-oriented, and adept at managing multiple events simultaneously while maintaining a guest-focused approach. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in event planning, particularly within hospitality, entertainment, or recreation, and possess excellent communication skills to interact effectively with clients, vendors, and internal teams.

As an Event Coordinator, you will be responsible for planning and coordinating a wide range of events including corporate outings, team-building exercises, fundraisers, and various celebrations. You will help clients define all event details such as budget, timing, menus, layouts, themes, staffing, and equipment. Clear communication with internal teams and event staff is essential to guarantee smooth execution. You will also manage logistics and staffing from setup to breakdown and stay present during events to quickly resolve any issues that arise.

A critical aspect of the role is following approved pricing guidelines and confidently closing event contracts, as well as maintaining accurate event details using planning software and tracking tools. Participation in weekly meetings, Banquet Event Order (BEO) meetings, and required training sessions is expected to stay aligned with company standards and improve service delivery. Additionally, you will support promotions, internal events, and community outreach efforts as needed.

Our company environment is far from a quiet office job. It is a lively, fast-paced workplace where no two days are alike. Whether you’re closing contracts one day or troubleshooting last-minute changes the next, your contribution ensures guests have an incredible time. This role demands physical stamina, including the ability to stand and walk for extended periods and lift up to 50 pounds. Flexibility in scheduling is required, including availability for nights and weekends during events.

If you thrive on bringing people together, enjoy managing intricate event details, and love seeing your plans come to life in real-time, this is an excellent opportunity to join a supportive and energetic team that values creativity, responsiveness, and professionalism. We look forward to welcoming a dedicated Event Coordinator who shares our passion for outstanding event experiences.
