Job Description

Are you an experienced hospitality leader ready to take ownership of your own venue?

Wedgewood Weddings offers a structured pathway for seasoned managers to train in our proven venue management model.

Our General Manager in Training (GMIT) program isn’t a beginner’s course—it’s a focused development track for established leaders who want to master the Wedgewood way before running a venue of their own. Over 6–12 months, you’ll gain hands-on experience across all departments—from sales and event execution to culinary operations and financial management—supported by our network of General Managers and centralized teams in HR, marketing, and accounting.

You’ll bring leadership experience. We’ll provide the tools, structure, and time to ensure you’re confident and set up for long-term success as a Wedgewood Weddings General Manager.

What Sets This Role Apart

You’ll train alongside one of our top-performing General Managers at a beautiful Wedgewood Weddings venue. This immersive, hands-on experience gives you a full understanding of our business model and prepares you to confidently lead your own property.

You’ll learn to :

  • Oversee all venue departments—culinary, sales, event planning, and banquet operations
  • Recruit, train, and develop talented teams through coaching, motivation, and daily leadership
  • Drive financial success by managing revenue, labor, and cost control
  • Execute high-volume events with precision, poise, and a guest-first mindset
  • Champion our culture and uphold brand standards through positivity, professionalism, and integrity
  • Adapt to a dynamic schedule that includes weekends, evenings, and holidays

You Are :

  • A proven leader with experience managing people in hospitality, events, or a sales-driven environment
  • Energized by high-volume service and fast-paced operations
  • Results-oriented and skilled at motivating teams to achieve goals
  • A natural coach who leads through accountability and encouragement
  • Detail-oriented and organized, with strong time management skills
  • Tech-savvy and comfortable using business software such as Outlook, Word, and Excel
  • Passionate about hospitality and eager to grow your career
  • Who We Are

    We’re a family-owned company that’s been revolutionizing the wedding industry since 1986. With 75+ venues nationwide (and growing), we make wedding planning stress-free with our all-inclusive approach. Our teams handle every detail so couples can truly enjoy their day.

    We’re a group of hospitality enthusiasts who do whatever it takes to create flawless, fun, and memorable events. Our goal? To deliver the best value, service, and convenience to every client, every time.

    Why Choose Us

  • Competitive compensation : Includes bonus potential, PTO, paid holidays, sick leave, and a comprehensive benefits package (medical, dental, vision, life, and 401k match).
  • Growth-oriented culture : Thrive in a “have fun” environment where 80% of our GMs and RMs are promoted internally.
  • Highly rated workplace : 90% of full-time team members recommend us as a great place to work—thanks to our supportive, collaborative culture.
  • Ready to take the next step in your hospitality career?
