We pride ourselves on our excellent client service, attention to detail, and ability to manage the complexities of wedding events nationwide. Our extensive network and innovative approach make us a preferred choice for wedding planning services.

We are currently seeking Lead Wedding Coordinators based in Montana to join us for the 2026 wedding season and beyond. This is a contract role that offers you the flexibility to pick your own schedule while earning between $350 and $450 per project, based on 10 to 12 hours of work. Training is provided, making this opportunity ideal for individuals eager to establish or expand their career in wedding planning. As a Lead Wedding Coordinator, you will be the primary planner who works directly with couples to deliver outstanding wedding planning services, primarily onsite.

The role involves close collaboration with client experience managers during the planning phase and assistant coordinators onsite on the wedding day. You will have the exciting responsibility of managing the entire wedding day from vendor arrivals to final breakdowns. This position is dynamic and demands keen organizational and leadership skills to ensure that every detail is managed with care and professionalism. Your duties will range from leading rehearsal ceremonies to coordinating vendor activities and supporting the bridal party throughout the day.

Your role will be pivotal in providing a calm, solutions-focused presence for the couple, managing any last-minute changes or challenges that may arise, and ensuring that the event flows smoothly according to the planned timeline. You will oversee setup of all event elements, ensuring that details such as escort cards, menus, favors, and décor are properly placed and aligned with the overall event design. With the ability to handle logistical challenges proactively, you will be the couple’s advocate on their special day, facilitating communication among vendors and serving as the main point of contact.

This role requires exceptional communication skills, attention to detail, and a proactive approach to problem-solving. It demands the ability to work weekends and navigate physical tasks including lifting up to 30 pounds.
