2010 Internships
Special Announcement:
Signature Soirees is accepting applications for interns or as we like to call them, Event Assistants, to help us during our 2010 wedding season.
What You'll Do:
Event Assistants will help with all day of wedding tasks including: setting up decor at ceremony and reception sites, assisting vendors with deliveries (i.e. cake, flowers, linens, rentals), assisting with the ceremony, assisting vendors as needed throughout the day, ensuring time lines are being followed, trouble shooting problems that arise, and much more. Event Assistants are always working alongside an experienced Planner or Event Associate who is there to direct and teach you. On days that weddings are not taking place, you might be asked to do more clerical work, including sending thank you cards, updating websites, writing blogs, and much more.
Who We're Looking For:
We are seeking junior and senior level students pursuing a degree in a related field (public relations, communications, hospitality & tourism, design, etc.) who are excited about learning the ins and outs of event planning, work well with a team, and exhibit a high level of responsibility. Weddings can be a stressful and emotionally charged time for a bride and groom and their families-the ideal candidate is friendly, enthusiastic, calm under pressure, and a great communicator! Most of our events take place in Cleveland, Ohio and the surrounding suburban areas. You must have transportation and be able to get to the city on your own.
What You'll Get:
This is an UNPAID internship and can be applied towards college credit. You will walk away from this internship with hands on experience in event planning and execution unlike anything you can learn in a classroom. This internship puts you in the action, working with real clients, professional vendors and beautiful locations throughout Cleveland and surrounding suburban areas.
When You'll Work:
Weddings are scheduled primarily on Saturdays, with some events on Fridays and Sundays. We also have non-wedding events that take place on some weeknights. Interns will be scheduled to work 6-10 events throughout the wedding season (Late March-October) and we are happy to take schedules into consideration. Interns will also have the opportunity to work from home during the week (hours flexible and must have PC/Internet access) to gain more experience in the planning that takes place prior to the wedding date!
How to Apply:
If you're interested in joining Signature Soirees for our 2010 season, please email your cover letter and resume (pdf format preferred) to intern@signaturesoirees.com. We will be accepting applications through January 31st and will be conducting interviews in February! If you have additional questions, please email intern@signaturesoirees.com (no phone calls, please).
