Job Description
Gaylord Hotels is a premier hospitality brand under Marriott International, renowned for delivering extraordinary meeting and event experiences through its remarkable venues and dedicated service team. Located at 2800 Opryland Dr, Nashville, Tennessee, Gaylord Hotels offers an immersive environment where guests can enjoy unique and memorable events backed by a commitment to exceptional quality and service. As a full-time, non-management position offering $17.00 per hour, this role sits within the Food and Beverage and Culinary category, focusing on event support services that elevate guest experiences beyond the ordinary.
The Event Service Assistant Expert at Gaylord Hotels plays a vital role in creating an impeccable and seamless atmosphere for banquets, meetings, and special events. This position requires more than just arranging tables and chairs; it demands a proactive approach to managing various tasks such as assembling and disassembling materials, transporting supplies, replenishing bars and action stations, and assisting with overall event logistics. These responsibilities contribute significantly to ensuring that events run perfectly and that guests receive the highest level of satisfaction throughout their experience.
Success in this role depends on the ability to maintain a safe working environment, adhere strictly to company policies and procedures, and uphold quality standards consistently. Additionally, professionalism in appearance, uniform, personal conduct, and communication is essential. Event Service Assistants must remain physically active, as the role includes standing, sitting, and moving for extended periods, handling items typically under 50 pounds independently, and collaborating with help for heavier loads above 75 pounds. Demonstrating competency in these tasks and willingness to perform additional reasonable duties as requested will be key to the smooth operation of the hotel and superior guest satisfaction.
Gaylord Hotels is committed to providing equal opportunity employment and fostering an inclusive workplace where diversity of background, talents, and experiences is celebrated. This cultural fusion of associates is a cornerstone of the company’s strength. With no discrimination on the basis of disability, veteran status, or any other protected classification, Gaylord Hotels invites candidates seeking to join a global team dedicated to superior service and meaningful career growth opportunities.
By joining Gaylord Hotels, you become part of a global portfolio within Marriott International, experiencing unparalleled opportunities for employment beyond typical hotel roles. The brand’s essence lies in the STARs—innovative, entrepreneurial individuals devoted to delivering heartfelt, attentive service. As a STAR, you will find an environment that nurtures your best work and personal growth, offering more than just a job—an opportunity to unleash your full potential and contribute to extraordinary guest experiences. Gaylord Hotels ensures that your career journey is filled with extensive benefits, comprehensive support, and rewarding opportunities, placing you at the heart of an extraordinary service culture.
