Job Description

The College Park Marriott Hotel and Conference Center, located at 3501 University Blvd E, Adelphi, Maryland, is a premier hospitality establishment known for delivering exceptional event and lodging experiences. As part of the globally recognized Marriott brand, this hotel provides guests with comfortable accommodations, top-tier service, and a welcoming atmosphere for both leisure and business travelers. The facility boasts modern meeting spaces and banquet halls suitable for various events, from corporate gatherings to social celebrations, emphasizing a blend of professionalism and hospitality that makes every stay and event memorable.

The available position is a part-time Guest Event Expert role within the Food and Beverage and Culinary category at the College Park Marriott Hotel and Conference Center. This non-management role pays between $20.83 and $22.40 per hour and is an integral part of the event service team. Unlike typical server positions, the Guest Event Expert is responsible for creating a comprehensive and memorable guest experience during banquets and events, not just serving food and beverages. This role involves handling multiple event functions and requires versatility and dedication.

Guest Event Experts ensure that every event runs smoothly from setup to breakdown, including transporting supplies, taking orders, and engaging positively with guests. They contribute to the overall success of the event by making every interaction feel personalized and seamless, which is critical in maintaining the high standards associated with the Marriott name. The position demands physical activity including standing, sitting, walking for extended periods, and the ability to move objects weighing up to 50 pounds. Maintaining a safe work environment, adhering to company policies, meeting quality standards, and presenting a professional appearance and communication style are essential components of this role.

In addition to the practical duties, the Guest Event Expert acts as a brand ambassador, ensuring that every guest's experience is exceptional and reflects the values of the College Park Marriott Hotel. This role is ideal for individuals who enjoy a dynamic work environment, are committed to delivering superior customer service, and can adapt to a variety of tasks with a positive attitude. The position offers an opportunity to develop event management skills and gain valuable experience in the hospitality industry while working in a respected and professional environment that values teamwork and dedication.
