The position offers a base salary with performance-based commissions, rewarding those who consistently deliver exceptional results and grow our client base. As the main point of contact for all private and semi-private events, the Private Events Manager manages every element from post-booking arrangements through to post-event follow-up. This includes menu planning, developing floor plans, coordinating timelines, and liaising with vendors. Collaboration with culinary, beverage, and operations teams is key to ensuring outstanding guest service and smooth event execution.
