JOIN OUR TEAM

Join us in making dreams come true!

Having been planning weddings for the past 16 years, I can say without-a-doubt, wedding planning is a team sport! And as the owner of YPB, I am so proud to say; we have the absolutely BEST team around! YPB is made up of hard working, selfless, detail oriented creatives who dedicate themselves to serving our clients. Wedding planning requires you to have a service heart, as we often have to move mountains to give our couples the best wedding day possible. Working along such big hearted miracle workers has been the privledge of my lifetime.

 

Wedding Planning has a greater purpose. It is not just a job. It is a commitment - to couples and to the (often long) planning process. We are looking for team members who understand that commitment and are ready to serve our couples.

​

We love team members who are:

  • Quick and empathetic responders

  • Creative problem solvers

  • Great listeners 

  • Keen to little details and the big picture

  • Calm and composed in times of mayhem

  • Self starters who aren't afraid to ask questions

  • Confident and self assured leaders

  • Capable of juggling priorities and thriving in a high stress environment

  • Able to make and keep a 12-18 month commitment to their couples.

 

If you feel like this is you, apply below.

I hope to talk to you soon!
