Job Description

Are you an experienced hospitality professional ready to take the next step into multi-department venue leadership? If you have a background in managing teams and leading high-volume operations —especially in restaurants, events, weddings, hotels, or F&B—we’d love to meet you.

Join our Management Development Program and you could be running a wedding venue within 6–12 months. Our proven training plan teaches you the ins and outs of venue management—from event logistics and culinary coordination to financial oversight and team leadership. You’ll quickly become an expert in delivering unforgettable experiences for clients and building high-performing teams.

What sets this role apart?

You won’t be starting from scratch. You’ll bring experience, and we’ll add structure, support, and a clear path forward. With ongoing support from our General Manager network, our dedicated training group, and our centralized HR, accounting, and marketing departments, you’ll be set up to succeed.

Previous management experience in hospitality, events, weddings, or restaurants is strongly preferred. We're also open to senior-level event professionals with extensive sales backgrounds who are ready to lead.

What You’ll Do:

  • Train under a top-performing General Manager at one of our beautiful venues
  • Learn to manage all departments: culinary, sales, planning, and banquet operations
  • Develop staff through hiring, training, coaching, and daily leadership
  • Drive financial performance with a focus on revenue, labor, and cost control
  • Manage day-to-day operations and high-volume events with precision and poise.
  • Uphold our culture and brand standards with positivity, professionalism, and integrity
  • Work a flexible schedule including weekends, evenings, and holidays

You are:

  • A proven leader with experience managing people in a hospitality or sales-focused setting
  • Familiar with high-volume service or events and love a fast-paced environment
  • Motivated by results and know how to energize a team to meet sales and service goals
  • A natural motivator—comfortable teaching, coaching, and holding others accountable
  • Detail-oriented and organized with strong time management skills
  • Comfortable with Outlook, Word, and Excel
  • Passionate about hospitality and ready to grow your career

Enough about you, this is what you need to know about us: Wedgewood Weddings & Events sets the standard for remarkable events. With 50 venues ranging from New Hampshire to San Diego, we offer beautiful locations designed to impress. We specialize in taking care of all the logistics meaning clients can sidestep all the planning headaches that are a normal part of arranging an event with traditional venues.

We’re powered by people. Enthusiastic, ingenious, joyful people who care about every client’s happiness. We’ve created a collaborative culture which helps us all succeed together. We want to help you learn and when we see an area to improve, we acknowledge, correct, and move on. Training to become a general manager is a big commitment. You’re giving your time, your energy, and your future to us, so we promise to treat you with respect, help you develop and make plenty of time for fun along the way. When you join our team, every day is different, just like every event is different.

Ready to find out more? We’d love to hear from you!
