We are currently expanding our team by seeking Lead Wedding Coordinators based in Virginia who are passionate about the wedding industry and eager to play a pivotal role in crafting unforgettable celebrations. This role is ideal for individuals looking to grow their career in wedding planning. As a contract position, it offers the flexibility to choose your own schedule, making it suitable for planners who desire autonomy while engaging in rewarding work. Training is provided to ensure you are fully equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel. The pay structure is project-based, providing $350 for a total of 10-12 hours per wedding, making it a lucrative opportunity for driven coordinators ready to take charge of wedding day execution.
The Lead Wedding Coordinator will act as the primary planner and on-site advocate for the couple, working in close collaboration with client experience managers during the planning stages and assistant coordinators during the event. You will be responsible for managing and overseeing multiple facets of the wedding day—from conducting final detail calls around six weeks before the event to facilitating the ceremony rehearsal. Your role involves ensuring that every element aligns perfectly with the couple’s expectations and that the event design is flawlessly implemented.
Key responsibilities include managing vendor arrivals, coordinating setup, directing the flow of the ceremony and reception, and serving as the main point of contact on the wedding day. This position requires a calm, solution-oriented approach capable of handling last-minute changes and challenges to ensure a smooth, joyful experience for the couple and their guests. Additionally, you will assist with the placement of personal details and décor, provide guidance and timing for the wedding party, and ensure all end-of-event items are packed and accounted for. This role demands strong organizational skills, attention to detail, excellent communication abilities, and a passion for delivering top-notch customer service.
