The Lead Wedding Coordinator role at Leigh & Co. Events offers a unique, hands-on opportunity for driven individuals interested in wedding planning. This contract position allows for flexible scheduling, catering especially to planners based in Wisconsin eager to join for the 2026 wedding season and beyond. Compensation is project-based, with a payment of $350 for a total commitment of 10-12 hours per wedding. Training is provided to ensure coordinators are equipped with all necessary skills, tools, and knowledge to execute flawless events.
As a Lead Wedding Coordinator, the selected candidate will serve as the primary planner on-site, guiding couples through the critical phases of their wedding day. This position requires collaboration with client experience managers during the preparation process, as well as coordination with assistant planners on the day of the event. Primary responsibilities include attending final detail calls six weeks before the wedding to confirm logistics and expectations, leading the wedding rehearsal with participants to ensure understanding of timing and processes, and acting as the central on-site advocate for the couple. The coordinator will manage vendor interactions, oversee ceremony and reception setups, assist with placement of décor and event details, and maintain a calm, solutions-focused presence throughout the celebration.
The role demands excellent organizational and communication skills, a strong attention to detail, and the physical ability to manage the set-up and breakdown of event elements. The ideal candidate is proactive in addressing challenges, supports wedding party members with timing cues and needs, and ensures that all personal and event items are properly handled at the conclusion of the event. This opportunity offers flexible contract work with a reputable company dedicated to creating unforgettable wedding experiences, making it perfect for experienced planners seeking rewarding event roles with autonomy in their schedules.
