Job Description

Jeffrey A. Miller Hospitality Group (JAM) is a renowned catering and hospitality company specializing in off-premise catering for weddings and special events throughout the Tri-State area. With a strong reputation for delivering high-quality hospitality services, JAM emphasizes excellence in event planning and execution, ensuring that every occasion is memorable and flawlessly managed. The company holds a commitment to providing exceptional customer service, meticulous attention to detail, and creative event design solutions that align with clients' unique visions and requirements. By fostering a collaborative and supportive work environment, JAM has established itself as a desirable employer for professionals passionate about hospitality and event planning.

The part-time Event Designer position at The Lake House Inn in Perkasie, PA, offers a unique opportunity for dynamic individuals to join JAM’s dedicated planning team. This role combines both in-person and remote work, providing flexibility while maintaining close client interaction during key event phases. As an Event Designer, you will be responsible for managing every detail of JAM weddings and special events from the initial client introduction to the day-of execution. The role demands a creative spirit and an organized mindset to ensure every aspect of an event—from menu development to floor plans and client communication—is handled with precision and care. The position expects a strong commitment to the planning process and client satisfaction, as the Event Designer's personal investment in the process results in events that clients will cherish long after their celebration.

This position incorporates a comprehensive 6-8 month paid training period under the guidance of a mentor, designed to prepare Event Designers thoroughly for managing 15-20 weddings beginning in 2027. The schedule averages around 20-25 hours per wedding, half of which involve client-facing communication and appointments, with the remaining 10-15 hours focused on behind-the-scenes planning and coordination. The position operates on a hybrid model, where remote work includes emailing clients, scheduling appointments, and conducting virtual meetings, while in-person duties such as venue walkthroughs, client meetings, tours, rehearsals, and the event day coordination require availability primarily on weekends. Candidates must be capable of managing their time effectively and be flexible to meet client needs during both daytime and evening hours.

Compensation is commission-based, ranging from $700 to $1200 per event, with the potential for gratuities averaging $200 per event. Additional bonuses and commissions are available for planning packages, flawless paperwork, décor rentals, and rehearsal coordination. Upon successful completion of training, a stipend is awarded, and opportunities for additional hours as an Assistant Event Coordinator paid hourly may arise. This position invites individuals who are passionate about event design and aspire to deliver the highest level of client satisfaction while growing within a supportive and well-established hospitality group.

JAM promotes an inclusive work environment as an equal opportunity employer. They seek candidates with strong organizational abilities, superior customer service skills, and adaptability to thrive in a fast-paced, deadline-driven atmosphere.
