This role probably isn't the right fit if you:

- Prefer a traditional Monday-to-Friday, 9-to-5 schedule.
- Don't enjoy being on your feet for long hours.
- Struggle in quick-paced or high-pressure environments.
- Prefer routine over variety—no two weddings are ever the same.
- Aren't comfortable taking initiative or making decisions independently.
- Don't enjoy working evenings, weekends, or holidays.
