We are hiring!! Join the WOW Team!
We are looking for two enthusiastic Event Assistants to join our team!
You will have a passion for weddings, keen sense of detail, and lots of energy!
There is a lot of thought, sweat, effort and detail that goes into every wedding we plan. And our mission is to help create the Best Celebration of Love possible!!! We take a lot of pride in consistently delivering a professionally executed, well managed wedding day.
Job Description
We provide a Lead Coordinator and at least one Event Assistant at each of our events.

This is a great opportunity to learn the in’s & out’s of event planning!
