The Director of Weddings will become the primary contact for our wedding clients and help guide them through the planning and coordination process. You will work closely with the owner of North Okanagan Events and the rest of our leadership team while developing your own area of the business.
Responsibilities may include:
- Responding to assigned wedding inquiries

- Helping couples develop their wedding vision
- Preparing timelines, checklists and event plans
- Coordinating with venues, vendors and other event professionals
- Assisting with décor selections, rentals and service packages
- Overseeing wedding setup, styling and event execution
- Providing day-of coordination when included in the client’s package
- Following up with clients before and after their event
- Building relationships with local venues and wedding professionals
- Helping create and promote new wedding packages

- Dependable and professional
- A confident and friendly communicator
- Comfortable working directly with clients
- Able to manage timelines and multiple event details
- Calm and solution-focused when plans change
- Self-motivated and interested in helping grow a business
- Able to work evenings and weekends when weddings are scheduled
- Experienced in weddings, events, hospitality or customer service
Previous wedding-planning or coordination experience is an asset, but we are also interested in candidates with solid organization, leadership and customer-service skills who are eager to learn.
Hours will vary depending on bookings and the growth of the wedding division. There are no guaranteed weekly hours. Most work can be planned flexibly, but availability will be required for client meetings, wedding setups and scheduled events.
We are looking for someone who wants to become an important part of North Okanagan Events and help us create beautiful, organized and memorable wedding experiences throughout the Okanagan.
