Back Orchard Barn - Freeland, Michigan

Pay Rate: $16/hour

 

We are looking for a motivated, dependable, and creative person to join our Back Orchard Barn team. This role is a mix of hands-on event management and social media. You will be part of the team creating and running events in real time, while also helping tell the story of the barn online through social media, marketing, and behind-the-scenes content.

 

The barn hosts everything from weddings to meetings to special events, and no two days ever look the same. This job is great for someone who loves events, enjoys being hands-on, has a big personality, and is comfortable jumping in wherever needed. We care a lot about relationships, teamwork, and going above and beyond. We are not just pushing events through the door. We are creating experiences.

 

This position is seasonal, and hours will naturally fluctuate based on the time of year and the number of events on the calendar. Some weeks may be around 20 hours, while busier weeks can reach 40 hours or more. Our busy season runs from May through November, when events are frequent and hours are higher. The off season is December through April, when hours are lighter and schedules are more flexible. This role is ideal for someone who understands the seasonal nature of events and is comfortable with a schedule that ebbs and flows.

 

This position is both in-person and remote. Social media, marketing, and some planning work can be done from home, but this role requires being in person often. We work best when we are together with the crew, especially during events. You also need to be okay with long event days, nights and weekends, and occasionally popping in for a quick 30-minute meeting when needed.

 

What You’ll Be Doing

• Helping manage the day-to-day flow of events alongside the Venue Director

• Working directly with couples, clients, and vendors to make sure events run smoothly

• Leading and supporting event staff during setup, events, and teardown

• Making sure the barn and event spaces are set up correctly, cleaned, and ready to go

• Keeping an eye on supplies, inventory, and event equipment

• Enforcing venue rules while keeping things friendly, welcoming, and guest-focused

• Being a calm point person when questions or issues pop up

 

Social Media, Marketing, and Events

• Posting and keeping up with our Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok

• Creating fun, real, behind-the-scenes content of the barn and events

• Answering messages and comments across social platforms

• Helping promote weddings, special events, and seasonal happenings at the barn

• Assisting with special events from planning to promotion to execution

• Helping keep the website updated with current info, photos, and event details

• Supporting marketing ideas, promotions, and creative content for the barn

 

What We’re Looking For

• You are 18 or older

• You have at least 2 years of event or social media experience

• You are organized but flexible because events rarely go exactly as planned

• You are comfortable leading a team and jumping in when needed

• You enjoy working with people and creating great guest experiences

• You are okay with long hours, nights, weekends, and busy event days

• You have a creative side and are comfortable using social media

 

If you love events, enjoy creative work, and want to be part of a growing venue with a fun, hardworking team, we would love to hear from you.
