If you answered “YES!” while mentally rearranging a table layout… keep reading. 

 

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. 

 

Ready to Help Love Flourish? 

If you’re enthusiastic, organized, creative, and ready to turn beautiful spaces into unforgettable celebrations — we’d love to meet you. 

 

Come grow with us!
