Event Production Intern (Fall)

Company Background

Founded in 2009, Downey Street Events is one of San Francisco's premier event planning companies, executing large scale weddings and events from Carmel to Napa and beyond.

Named by Bride's Magazine as one of the top wedding planners in San Francisco and founded by two Stanford-trained corporate lawyers, we strive to provide a professional level of service to all of our clients, and to execute beautiful and creative event design at all times.

As our company continues to grow and evolve, we are looking for an Intern to support our events this Summer. We are looking for a "yes" person - when our clients need something, we figure out a way to make it happen, and we are looking for someone who shares that philosophy and is a creative problem solver. Experience in high end hospitality, events, food, fashion or interior designer industries is a plus. A general interest in beautiful things is a must! And finally, you must have the desire to work long days onsite at our events and weddings as this is a key part of the role.

Passionate candidates should provide a cover letter along with their application which can be emailed to [email protected]
