The Lead Wedding Coordinator role at Leigh & Co. Events represents an exciting opportunity for individuals passionate about wedding planning and event management. This position is offered on a contract basis, providing flexibility for planners who want to set their own schedules while working on meaningful, high-impact events. The pay scale ranges from $20 to $35 per hour, compensated per project rather than by the hour, allowing planners to maximize their earning potential based on their workload and experience.

As a Lead Wedding Coordinator, you will take charge of the wedding planning process primarily onsite during the wedding day. You will lead a team that includes assistant coordinators and vendors to ensure every aspect of the wedding unfolds smoothly and according to plan. Responsibilities include creating detailed wedding timelines for the clients, coordinating the setup of ceremony and reception areas, and directing vendor activities to achieve flawless event execution. This position demands a high level of organization and strong interpersonal skills, as you will be the main point of contact for clients and vendors on the wedding day. Your role will involve ensuring that decor elements like seating cards, menu cards, table numbers, favors, and the guest book are meticulously arranged, as well as managing end-of-event details such as handling gifts and coordinating the collection of key items.

The Lead Wedding Coordinator must be adaptable and capable of working long hours on the day of the event, often starting early in the morning and finishing late at night after tear-down. This role also emphasizes leadership as you will serve as an advocate for the couple, helping to keep them calm and joyful despite any last-minute challenges or issues that arise. Assisting members of the wedding party and family with questions or needs is another crucial aspect of your position. Attention to detail, strong communication skills, and the ability to manage logistics effectively are essential traits for success in this role.

Candidates applying for this position should be prepared to work weekends, as wedding events primarily occur during this time. A minimum of two years of experience in wedding or event planning is required to ensure that you can confidently manage all aspects of the wedding day. Additionally, reliable transportation and the physical ability to carry and lift up to 30 pounds are necessary due to the demands of this hands-on role.
