Job Description:
The Bridal Event Coordinator in Dunedin is responsible for planning, organizing, and executing all aspects of wedding events at a hotel, resort, or venue. This role begins by consulting with the bride and groom to understand their vision, budget, and preferences, and then translating those ideas into a detailed, executable plan. Responsibilities include venue setup, coordinating with florists, caterers, photographers, entertainment providers, decorators, and officiants to ensure a seamless wedding day. The coordinator prepares timelines, manages guest lists and seating arrangements, oversees rehearsals, and is present on the event day to manage logistics and handle last-minute changes or issues. Attention to emotional sensitivity, personalized service, and visual presentation is key. The coordinator also ensures that the ceremony and reception adhere to legal, cultural, or religious requirements. Post-event follow-up and vendor payments are also handled professionally. This role demands creativity, flexibility, and a strong ability to remain calm under pressure, as the coordinator often serves as the central problem-solver on the big day.
Job Requirement:
A diploma or degree in event management, hospitality, or a related field is preferred. A minimum of 2–4 years of experience in wedding or event coordination is essential. Strong organizational and communication skills, creativity, and attention to detail are vital. Proficiency in event planning software and Microsoft Office tools is beneficial. The role requires excellent time management, customer service orientation, and the ability to handle stress and time-sensitive requests. Willingness to work long hours, including evenings and weekends, is a must.
