  • Negotiate rates, confirm bookings, and ensure timely delivery of services.
  • Coordinate permits, contracts, and other documentation required for events.
  • Client Relations
  • Serve as the main point of contact for clients from booking to event completion.

  • Operational & Administrative Tasks
  • Maintain accurate records of bookings, budgets, invoices, and event documentation.

  • Support marketing efforts by contributing to event‑related social media content or photography.
  • Uphold compliance with safety, health, and liquor licensing regulations.
  • Key Requirements

  • Minimum 3–5 years' experience in event coordination, preferably within a wine estate, hotel, or high‑end hospitality environment.
