Part-Time Catering Cook - Weddings & Events

Part-Time Banquet Cook — $27-$30/hour

Be part of the beautiful weddings and memorable events we produce. As a Banquet Cook with Wedgewood Weddings, you'll help create celebrations our clients and guests remember for a lifetime.

This is catering, not a restaurant line.

If you've worked à la carte, you know the chaos: tickets firing at random, no idea what's coming, a rush that never quite ends. Banquet cooking is different. We know the guest count, we know the menu, and we know exactly when plates go out. It's high volume — you'll serve hundreds in a night — but it's planned volume. You'll cook with a game plan instead of reacting to one.

A schedule that works around your life

This is a part-time, hourly role. We work when our clients celebrate, so weekend availability is required — but prep days are flexible, and we'll build a schedule around what works for you.

Room to grow

Plenty of our kitchen leaders started right here. If you want to run a kitchen someday, you'll have the opportunity to learn ordering, inventory, food cost, and event execution alongside our chef — the whole operation, not just your station. Tell us that's your goal and we'll help you build toward it.

What you'll do

• Support the chef in executing banquets according to Banquet Event Order details and Wedgewood standards
• Prep, produce, and plate for full event execution
• Keep a clean kitchen — cleaning as you work, closing procedures, and weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual deep cleans
• Receive deliveries from approved suppliers, verifying freshness and quality
• Stock and label all food to food safety protocols and FIFO procedures

What we're looking for

• Solid food handling and preparation skills
• Safety and sanitation knowledge you take seriously
• Efficiency and composure under pressure
• A team player with a "whatever it takes" attitude
• Banquet, catering, or restaurant experience preferred — leadership experience is a plus, not a requirement
