As an Elegant Affairs in intern, you will learn the ins and outs of wedding and event planning beginning with meeting with potential clients through the planning process until the completion of the event. Interns will research and prep for client meetings, put together inspiration boards, meet with new and existing vendors to create and strengthen relationships and prep for weddings and events. Another facet of the internship includes promoting Elegant Affairs to new and potential clients and vendors utilizing social networks.
You must be a college student and able to receive credit for your internship and must provide your housing. This internship is located in Washington state (we are located 45 minutes south of Seattle) and provide your own transportation as we drive A LOT to and from meetings and events.
