As an event coordinator for Wright Productions, I utilized my skills in vendor management, to negotiate with suppliers to curate an island oasis ambiance for special guests, including a celebrity client, along with their friends and family. My responsibilities involved the meticulous sourcing of over 10 promotional items, including custom napkins, decals, fresh coconuts, pillows, and footballs, to enhance the overall experience. I also managed the procurement of 400 fresh floral leis, tikis, themed seat cushions, pillows, floral decor, centerpieces, and entertainment equipment. This required diligent research, and attention to detail to ensure all items were ordered and delivered within a specific window without damage.
Throughout the process, I demonstrated maturity and professionalism, ensuring seamless coordination during the event setup and effective vendor management. I also led and monitored the silent auction which required trust of financial payments and autographed items.
Researched over 30 vendors and negotiated with 10 vendors to source the best quality products within budget
Coordinated event requests within a 3-month time frame
Mangaed silent auction bids, items, and cash payments
