We are looking for a passionate and dedicated Banqueting & Event Host to join our team and provide an exceptional experience to our guests.

A Banqueting & Event Host’s day revolves around ensuring the smooth execution of events, starting with a team briefing to review the day’s schedule and finalize preparations. They oversee the setup of event spaces, ensuring everything is arranged according to client specifications, including seating, decor, and equipment. As guests arrive, the host greets them warmly, coordinates food and beverage service, and ensures the event runs smoothly. Throughout the event, they are attentive to guest needs, solve any last-minute issues, and maintain communication with the team. Afterward, the host helps reset the venue for future events and debriefs with the team to ensure everything is ready for the next function. Each day is dynamic, requiring excellent organizational skills, adaptability, and a passion for creating memorable experiences.
