As a Lead Wedding Planner with Leigh & Co. Events, you will play a crucial role in delivering exceptional wedding planning services primarily on-site. This contract role offers the flexibility to choose your own schedule, providing a perfect opportunity for aspiring and experienced planners to grow their careers while working on meaningful projects. Each wedding project offers a rate of $350 for 10 to 12 hours of dedicated work, making it a rewarding way to earn income while doing what you love. The company provides comprehensive training to ensure planners are well-prepared to meet client expectations and manage all aspects of the wedding day successfully.

In this role, you will collaborate closely with client experience managers and assistant coordinators to ensure that every detail of the wedding day runs smoothly. Your responsibilities will include conducting final details calls with clients approximately six weeks before the wedding to review logistics, timelines, and expectations to guarantee flawless execution.

Your leadership will be essential in overseeing ceremony and reception setup, making sure the event design is aligned with the client’s vision by following the company’s detailed day-of execution playbook. From vendor arrival through final breakdown, you will manage all activities, serving as the main liaison between vendors and ensuring clear communication and adherence to setup instructions. You will also assist with the placement of personal and event details like escort cards, menus, table numbers, and décor elements, ensuring every aspect is beautifully presented.

Throughout the day, you will provide timing cues and support to the wedding party and family members, ensuring that everyone feels confident and supported. At the end of the event, you will be responsible for packing and accounting for all end-of-event items such as gifts, guest books, and décor. Your proactive attitude will be key in managing and resolving any last-minute issues to maintain a smooth and enjoyable experience for the couple and their guests.
