OVERVIEW
Location:
WASHINGTON DC | VIRGINIA
We are currently seeking enthusiastic, sophisticated candidates to help bring our client’s wedding day plans to fruition through on-site event production and coordination. The position of Event Production Assistant is part-time casual and offers you the perfect opportunity to see how a wedding day is carried out. Wedding and event days can be anywhere from 4-15 hours long (often lasting late into the night) and pays $10.00 per hour.
The idea in someone taking on this position should not be for financial gain, but rather to acquire hands-on wedding experience and a taste of what the industry is really like. It also gives us the chance to see if you have what K Bella Events is looking for in our future planners.
While we may not be hiring outside Wedding Coordinators or Associate Planners at this time; we do most often fill these positions with our most promising Event Production Assistants. If the assistant seems like a good fit with K Bella Events' principles and style and the EPA proves that they are the best candidate for the job, they may move on to becoming a Wedding Coordinator or Associate Planner for K Bella Events in the future.
In addition to hiring event production assistants, K Bella Events will consider up to two interns per year to shadow and assist with personal client accounts and special event activities throughout the year. This opportunity will be discussed after successfully assisting during weddings this semester.
