• End-to-end ownership: plan and deliver complete weddings from initial inquiry to post-event close-out, managing multiple weddings in parallel.
• Lead client consultations; define concept, theme, scope, and budget; prepare proposals and quotations; close service agreements.
• Build and manage detailed project plans: master timelines, checklists, budgets, payment schedules, and risk/contingency plans.
• Source, negotiate with, and manage vendors: venues, catering, florals/decor, photography/videography, makeup & dress, entertainment, MC, transport, and printing.
• Coordinate the studio’s internal teams (photo, makeup/dress, design) so studio services integrate seamlessly into each wedding.
• Direct wedding-day operations on site: run-of-show, vendor call times, setup supervision, ceremony cueing, and real-time problem solving.
• Manage budgets rigorously: track actuals vs. plan, control costs, process vendor payments, and report profitability per project.
• Handle traditional ceremony elements (Vietnamese and Korean customs) and destination/cross-cultural weddings when required.
• Build vendor networks and negotiate annual partner rates; maintain a vendor quality scorecard.
• Lead, train, and develop planning assistants/coordinators; set service standards and SOPs.
• Own client satisfaction: manage expectations, resolve complaints, and secure reviews and referrals.

REQUIREMENTS

• Minimum 7 years of professional experience in wedding planning, event production, or hospitality event management, including full A–Z ownership of weddings or comparable large events.
• K-wedding experience is MANDATORY: proven track record planning and executing Korean-style (K-wedding) weddings — e.g., weddings for Korean couples, Korean ceremony customs (paebaek and related traditions), K-wedding studio concepts, or K-content-style productions (Korean-style photoshoots, K-drama/K-pop-inspired wedding concepts).
• Demonstrated track record as project lead — not assistant — on complete weddings/events (portfolio submission is mandatory and MUST include K-wedding / K-content projects).
• Strong project management fundamentals: scope, timeline, budget, vendor contracts, and risk management.
• Excellent negotiation and vendor-management skills in the Vietnamese market (HCMC vendor network strongly preferred).
• Outstanding client-facing communication; composed and decisive under live-event pressure.
• Proficiency with planning tools (Excel/Google Sheets; project tools such as Notion, Trello, or MS Project a plus).
• Vietnamese and working English required; Korean is a strong plus.
• Willingness to work weekends, holidays, and evenings during wedding season; able to travel to venues.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Work experience in Korea, or with Korean wedding companies/studios; established Korean vendor or community networks in Vietnam.
• Degree in event management, hospitality, business, or related field.
