At Wild Smile Events, we are passionate about creating unforgettable experiences that blend creativity, innovation, and professionalism, alongside the wild beauty of the Kootenays. From intimate mountain elopements to large-scale destination weddings and community events, our work blends thoughtful design, seamless logistics, and heartfelt hospitality. 
We are a close-knit, supportive team that values collaboration, authentic relationships, and fostering growth and confidence in our team members. We full-heartedly believe in the art of celebration. . . so get ready, you're about to apply for a Work Party!

If this sounds like your ideal atmosphere, keep reading! 
We are currently seeking a motivated, detail-oriented Event Production Assistant to join our 2026 seasonal team. In this role, you will support our Lead Planner/Producer in all stages of event execution, helping bring thoughtfully designed experiences to life with confidence, precision, and grace.

This role may NOT be a fit if:

• You have a hard time dealing with people. Sure, there are tough days, but deep down, you need to appreciate human connection and want to engage with every client, even during stressful moments. (Yes, you might have to charm Aunt Karen.)
• You have difficulty adapting when plans change (because in events, they will)
• You are frequently late, unreliable, or unable to commit to scheduled shifts
• You expect the job to be glamorous. Event assistants sweat the details —literally— before guests arrive.
• You are uncomfortable receiving feedback or working toward continuous improvement
• You prefer predictable schedules and standard business hours 
• You can’t move quickly or manage multiple tasks under time pressure. This role requires speed, agility, and the ability to lift and handle event equipment.

If any of the above resonates, we totally understand, and we appreciate you taking the time to explore our company. We wish you all the best in your career journey!

Still with us? Amazing! This role might be a perfect fit if:

• You thrive on helping others, creating meaningful experiences that drive connection and making people smile. 
• You’re highly organized, detail-oriented, and maybe even a bit of a perfectionist.
• You embrace on-the-spot challenges and creative problem-solving. You enjoy the unpredictability that comes with events.
• Celebration is your thing! You love seeing people gather and create memories.
• You understand the realities of hard work and understand that event days are long, physically demanding (but oh, so rewarding)
• You’re a fan of espresso shots, gourmet meals, and cake -  sometimes all in one day!
• You’re passionate about improving the client experience at Wild Smile Events and want to be part of a team that values education, professionalism, and high standards. You’re eager to bring your unique strengths to make us better than ever.
