Charlevoix, Mi

As a wedding coordinator I helped couples layout and execute their special day. From two months out up to their wedding date, I was their main contact for the venue. I worked closely with brides and grooms to ensure everything went as planned. Leading up to the wedding, I facilitated their ceremony rehearsal to make it as stress free of an experience as possible. The day of the wedding, I was present to run the ceremony and the reception making sure all their vendors were present and answer any guests questions about the event. I followed all details closely and coordinated the days events following a strict timeline.

Shelby Township, Mi

I worked on the opening team of the Shelby Township Sky Zone location where I quickly moved up in roles. I went from a cashier to cashier supervisor, then transferred into the event department and eventually was promoted to an assistant manager position. In the event department, I gained experience in the sales industry when booking birthday parties or group events along with replying to inquiries. I communicated directly with event hosts to ensure they knew all the details necessary. Moving up to an assistant manager, I was responsible for leading a staff of up to 20 employees. I completed safety checks throughout the day and opened and closed the facility. I continued to give excellent customer service and worked on social media marketing efforts to help increase revenue.
