Freelance Event Manager/ Hospitality Professional for High-End Dinner Event (New York)
We’re looking for an experienced and detail-oriented freelancer to help coordinate a high-end dinner event on November 18 and December 3 in New York. This exclusive evening will take place at a premium venue and requires someone who can ensure everything runs smoothly while delivering an exceptional guest experience.
This role is also a fantastic opportunity to shadow an experienced team member on-site, with the potential to take on regular event coordination assignments at various New York venues. For the right person, this could develop into an ideal side hustle with consistent opportunities for freelance work.

Event Details:
  • Date: November 18 and December 3, 2026
  • Time: 4:00 PM – 11:00 PM
  • Location: New York
Responsibilities:
  • Arrive at the venue in advance to ensure the layout, place cards, and signage are properly set up.
  • Meet and greet the client upon arrival.
  • Welcome guests and ensure they are seated according to the table plan.
  • Coordinate with the restaurant to ensure the pre-agreed menu is delivered on schedule.
  • Handle last-minute guest adjustments and write name badges as needed.
  • Perform tech checks for client presentations and ensure all equipment is functioning.
  • Confirm attendance and maintain an accurate record.
  • Settle the final bill with the venue at the end of the evening.
Requirements:
  • Proven experience in event coordination or similar roles, particularly in high-end or VIP settings.
  • Strong organizational and problem-solving skills, with the ability to handle last-minute changes calmly.
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills for guest and client interactions.
  • Familiarity with name badge printing and basic tech setup for presentations is a plus.
  • Availability to work on December 3 from 4:00 PM to 11:00 PM, and potentially November 18 with the flexibility to take on future events.
What We’re Offering:
  • A chance to build a regular, flexible side hustle with frequent opportunities to manage high-end events in New York.
  • Valuable hands-on experience, with an opportunity to grow into a lead role for future events.
  • Opportunity to travel to nearby locations such as Boston or Chicago (not required) 
How to Apply:
Please send us your resume or a brief overview of your experience, along with your availability. If you have experience coordinating high-end events or working in luxury settings, be sure to highlight that in your application.

We’re excited to hear from you and hope to collaborate soon!
