One Atlantic Events



I decided to spend my summer interning with a wedding planning company in Atlantic City, NJ called One Atlantic Events. The gorgeous venue is surrounded by tall glass windows overlooking the Atlantic City boardwalk and beach. It is a perfect setting for a bride to make their special day absolutely perfect. So far I have worked during two weddings; both serving and assisting the wedding coordinator, and I have also worked with the banquet manager.



During a wedding I help the wedding coordinator with whatever she needs to make the evening go smoothly. We were are in charge of directing outside vendors such as the flouriest, band, and photographers too exactly where they need to go and what they need to do. We stock the bridal and groom suite and assist them with whatever they need the entire day. We also work with the banquet manager to ensure each server, bartender, and the entire kitchen staff is doing exactly what they need to be doing. One thing I learned is the importance of communication. We wear headsets that communicate to the banquet manager, and the greeters to ensure that everyone is alerted if there is a problem or a task that needs to be done. The night is planned out to a specific schedule that needs to be followed in order to have a successful wedding. Overall I love the work that I have been doing for the past two weeks, and I’m excited to see what the rest of the summer has in store for me!
