K Bella Events is seeking a part‑time/casual Wedding & Events Coordinator / Wedding Planner Coordinator with both weekday remote‑office event management and on‑site weekend event production, typically around 6–8 weekends per year (May–October). Hours vary based on weddings, events, and business needs. Our small team follows an “everyone does everything” culture, but each coordinator has a clearly defined role. This is a high‑pressure, luxury‑focused wedding and event planning environment where client and vendor relationships are the top priority.

What You’ll Do

• Help oversee on‑site event production and management for high‑end weddings and luxury events.

• Act as a vendor liaison, coordinating timelines, arrivals, and creative alignment for weddings and events.
• Source décor ideas and vendor resources that match K Bella Events’ elevated aesthetic.
• Manage day‑to‑day project timelines for multiple weddings or events at once.
• Handle administration: rental order placements, BEO reviews, RSVP tracking, team travel planning, and issue resolution.
• Collaborate with Lead Planners, coordinators and vendors on wedding‑day details and logistics.
• Assist with special projects, including back‑end process development, marketing and social media/content as needed.

Who You Are

• Lives in the Washington D.C. / Virginia area and plans to stay long‑term.
• Has an entrepreneurial spirit, is highly logical, and has an eye for the finest details.
• Is warm, outgoing, and high‑touch with clients and vendors, building strong relationships.
• A confident, articulate communicator who can produce great work with limited supervision.
• Strong problem‑solving skills and ability to multitask under tight deadlines.
• Professional, polished, and stylish in appearance, with a lovely, guest‑oriented disposition.
• Technically comfortable: Google Suite literate, quick to learn new platforms.
• Prior experience in hospitality or the wedding industry (e.g., catering coordination, corporate event planning, or similar) is highly preferred.
• Has a valid driver’s license and reliable vehicle and is available for designated weekend and some weekday travel.

Hourly rate: $20.00–$35.00, with new Associate Planners typically starting at $20/hour for the first six weddings while training, plus opportunities for tips and bonuses for bringing in new clients.
