Join us at InterContinental Sanctuary Cove Resort as a Wedding Sales & Events Executive (Full Time), where you'll bring dream weddings and events to life with precision, care, and a deep understanding of what makes each celebration unique.
About the Role
Reporting to the Conference & Events Manager, you’ll take ownership of the end-to-end planning and coordination of weddings and other special occasions at our beautiful Resort. From introductions through to the final farewell, you'll be the main point of contact for our couples—guiding them through every detail of their special day.
You’ll host venue tours and planning consultations with engaged couples and event organisers, helping them bring their vision to life while showcasing the unique offerings of the Resort. You’ll also represent the property at both on-site and off-site wedding marketing events such as expos and showcases. From there, you’ll take the lead on creating tailored event orders and managing all related documentation.
Throughout the planning journey, you’ll coordinate every detail—from timelines, menus and floorplans to liaising with suppliers and accommodating guest requirements. As the event day approaches, you’ll run pre-event briefings and daily team debriefs to ensure flawless delivery, working closely with our banquet operations team on execution. You’ll be present on the day to support and oversee the event, including weekends and evenings as needed. After each celebration, you’ll conduct post-event follow-ups, gathering feedback and contributing ideas to enhance our overall wedding and event experience.
What we're looking for:
-
Tertiary qualification in Hospitality, Event Management, or related field (preferred)
-
Minimum 2 years’ experience in event coordination or wedding planning
-
Outstanding attention to detail and time management skills
-
Warm, professional communication style with a natural flair for building rapport

-
Willingness to work flexible hours including weekends and evenings
-
Impeccable personal presentation and a proactive, team-oriented mindset
-
Understanding of OH&S policies and ability to ensure safe practices across all touchpoints
-
A full, unrestricted driver’s licence is essential
-
Unlimited working rights in Australia
