As Monarch continues serving more couples in the Chicago suburbs, we’re looking to expand our team! If you love serving others, have an eye for the little details, and want to gain more experience in the wedding industry, you might be the perfect addition to our company. We’re interested in hiring a planner who is able to lead and execute our Chicago suburbs weddings, with great attention to client experience and MCE’s values.
Please read and apply if you think you might be the perfect fit. We can’t wait to hear from you!
About the Lead Coordinator Position
This is a part-time, contracted position, where you will serve as lead coordinator for 5-8 weddings per year.
This is not an assistant position! As Lead Coordinator, you will be the primary point of contact between Monarch and the couple from consultation to wedding day – the entire planning process! You will communicate and meet with couples via video and in person as needed.
Training for this planner position will begin in 2023, so you are ready to take on weddings solo starting in 2024. This position will manage our event management package weddings, with room to grow in the future.
At MCE, our primary focus is eliminating the stress associated with wedding planning for our couples. We aim to guide them throughout the planning process, with great attention to their vision and the logistics that will make their day successful. As a wedding planner, it is our job to make this experience a fun and memorable one that couples can look back at with fondness. We’re here to prove that wedding planning doesn’t have to be a drag!
