Wedding Coordinator

Lead Wedding Coordinator

Northern Michigan

This role is a part-time, commission based, seasonal position.

The Best Day Details LLC is a team of experienced Wedding Coordinators based primarily in Grand Rapids, MI. We serve all of Michigan but are looking to add another lead coordinator who is based in Northern Michigan.

This new lead coordinator would get first pick of all our new Northern Michigan weddings. They would be responsible for 4 meetings with the couple leading up to the wedding day, rehearsal coordination, timeline creation, vendor confirmation before the wedding day, and then unlimited hours on the wedding day (16 hours on-site on average). We pair each of our coordinators with an event assistant (usually a college intern). You would be responsible for all your own equipment. A small travel stipend is provided.

Wedding or event experience is a plus, but we place a much higher value on someone who is assertive and has a take-charge attitude while being polite and composed in stressful situations. The wedding industry is trainable for someone with those innate characteristics. Must be able to spend 16 plus hours on your feet at a time and carry 50 lbs.

Please note that the amount of weddings you would have in any given season is not promised and this job should not be relied on as a steady form of income. It is on an as needed basis and is paid per job, not hourly. We are currently booking for the 2024-2025 seasons.

This job is not for someone who hopes to own their own wedding business someday. We are seeking someone who is passionate about weddings and events but would rather not deal with the business side of things. Life situation is almost as valuable as experience. This job would be ideal for someone who has another part time flexible job, is a stay at home parent hoping to add a side income, or a high capacity person with a full time job that allows for slightly flexible hours.

Video call interview will be conducted after an initial phone screening. Working interview may be required.
