You're The Bride is seeking motivated, reliable and detailed individuals for 2012 internship. Must be able to stand for long periods of time and have a computer as assignments will be e-mailed to you. Previous event planning experience a plus but not necessary. Candidates must be able to take direction but also be able to think quickly on their feet as situations may arise that need to be solved with ease. Must have your own reliable transportation and driving knowledge of the Metro-Detroit area is helpful.

This is an UNPAID position; however, an intern who successfully completes the internship may be hired on a part-time basis to assist at future events. You will receive real experience in the world of wedding planning and this alone is very valuable if you are looking to break into the industry.

This internship may involve pre-event preparation, cold calling using bridal lead lists, researching ideas and writing posts for the YTB blog, assembling favors/invitations, assisting in wedding ceremony rehearsal, on-site coordination/set-up for ceremony and reception. Other projects as needed.

Must be available on weekends as needed. May be required to attend some weekday and weeknight functions as well relating to networking, consults, vendor meetings, etc. We can be flexible with the right candidate depending on your schedule. Must be at least 18 please. This internship is June-December 2012. If you can not handle long hours on wedding days (typically 12 hours plus) or honor a six month contractual commitment please do NOT apply.

If this opportunity sounds like it would be a perfect fit for you then please send a cover letter explaining why you would like to be part of our team and why we should choose you!  Send both cover letter and resume to tracie@yourethebride.com.
