Job Description

:

Wedding planning is a team sport. We have spent the past 15 years building our team as well as developing close relationships with some of the best wedding vendors in the PNW. Couples come to us for our expertise and wealth of knowledge. We serve as a guiding light for the entire process. Each couple we work with comes from a different background and at different points in the planning process - our job is to listen to their unique situation and propose creative and beautiful solutions. Wedding Planning has a greater purpose. It is not just a job. It is a commitment - to couples and to the (often long) planning process. We are looking for team members who understand that commitment and are ready to serve our couples.

• Offer design expertise and create stunning vision boards that present a cohesive design.
• Coordinate and communicate with vendors throughout the planning process in a prompt manner.
