About Us
Our venue isn’t just a backdrop - it’s a living, breathing conservatory filled with lush greenery, warm glasshouses, and unforgettable moments. From romantic weddings to corporate celebrations, we help create memories that last a lifetime. Now, we’re looking for someone who can help us make the magic happen.
What You’ll Do (AKA: Make Dreams Bloom)
Coordinate Stunning Weddings & Events
From first inquiry to final breakdown, you’ll guide clients through:
- Wedding ceremonies, receptions & rehearsals
- Showers, cocktail parties & corporate events
- Internal and fundraising celebrations
- Décor drop-offs, vendor coordination & day-of execution
- You’ll lead client meetings, build thoughtful event plans, manage bookings software, and ensure every detail is buttoned up (literally and figuratively).
Live the “Wow, Wonder, Welcome” Culture
- Answer emails and calls promptly and kindly
- Build warm, lasting relationships with clients and vendors
- Solve problems creatively (because events always keep you on your toes)
- Send thoughtful thank-you notes and follow-ups
- You’re not just coordinating events — you’re creating lifelong memories rooted in empathy, positivity, and professionalism.
Yes, There’s Some Lifting Involved
You’ll:
- Set up and break down tables, chairs & décor
- Lift and move items up to 50 lbs
- Work in warm, humid greenhouse environments and outdoors
- Stay energized during evenings, weekends & holidays
- This role is equal parts planner and powerhouse.
Be Part of the Bigger Picture
- Assist with venue tours to book new clients
- Collaborate with Marketing on social posts, blogs & brochures
- Help drive glowing online reviews
- Work cross-departmentally to support fundraising and community events
- You’ll be a true ambassador of the Botanical Gardens — internally and externally.
You Might Be Our Perfect Match If You…
- Have an Associate’s degree (or equivalent experience) in hospitality or related field
- Have at least 1 year of event or wedding planning experience
- Thrive in fast-paced environments without missing details
- Love timelines, checklists, and color-coded spreadsheets
- Are self-motivated, reliable, and team-oriented
- Have strong written & verbal communication skills
- Are creative, calm under pressure, and solutions-focused
- Have solid computer skills
What It’s Really Like
- One minute you’re guiding a bride through her ceremony layout.
The next, you’re fluffing ferns in a humid conservatory.
- Then you’re sending thank-you cards, updating the shared calendar, and brainstorming a new marketing idea.
- It’s joyful. It’s fast-paced. It’s meaningful. And it’s never boring.
