Event Planner

At D’Amico Hospitality, excellence isn’t a slogan — it’s the standard.

We are a nationally recognized, premium hospitality company and the largest private event and catering organization in the Twin Cities. For decades, we have built our reputation on producing extraordinary events with precision, creativity, sophistication, and consistency.

From corporate events and nonprofit galas to luxury weddings, private celebrations, and marquee occasions, D’Amico Hospitality has the culinary talent, venues, operational infrastructure, and production expertise to execute at a high level.

We’re Looking for a Big-Gun Event Professional.

This is not an entry-level sales position and it is not simply a role for someone who knows how to plan an event.

We are looking for a seasoned, highly connected hospitality and event professional who has spent years building relationships in the Twin Cities and knows how to turn those relationships into meaningful business.

The ideal candidate has 5+ years of proven experience in event planning, catering sales, hospitality, event production, or a related field — and brings an established network of clients, planners, corporate decision-makers, nonprofit leaders, venues, vendors, and industry professionals.

You know the Twin Cities event community. You know who the decision-makers are. You have earned trust. You have a track record. And when someone needs an exceptional event partner, your name is already on the list.

We want to give you the platform, resources, culinary expertise, venues, and operational horsepower of D’Amico Hospitality to take that network and your career to the next level.

• 5+ years of progressive experience in event planning, catering sales, hospitality sales, event production, luxury hospitality, or a related field
• A strong and established Twin Cities professional network
• An existing book of business, client portfolio, or significant pipeline of relationships
• A proven history of generating substantial event revenue
• Established relationships with corporate organizations, nonprofit leaders, wedding professionals, event planners, venues, vendors, and other influential industry partners
• A demonstrated ability to cultivate relationships and turn them into long-term business
• Experience selling and producing high-value, complex, and high-touch events
• Exceptional business development and consultative sales instincts
• The confidence and polish to work directly with executives, high-profile clients, event committees, and discerning hosts
• The ability to build trust quickly, anticipate client needs, and serve as a strategic advisor throughout the event lifecycle
• A reputation for professionalism, integrity, responsiveness, and getting things done

If you already have a reputation and a proven track record — we want to meet you.

Because the right person can do more with the right platform.

D’Amico Hospitality provides the scale, reputation, culinary talent, venues, creative resources, and operational expertise necessary to turn ambitious ideas into extraordinary experiences.

Our team has the infrastructure to support sophisticated events — while giving an accomplished Event Planner the opportunity to build meaningful relationships, win significant business, and create experiences that clients remember.

Our commitment to excellence has been recognized repeatedly through industry and regional awards, including:

• Best Catering Company — Twin Cities Business (2017, 2018, 2020–2022, 2025)
• Best Caterer for a Large Wedding — Minnesota Bride Magazine (2019–2025)
• Star Awards Winner — International Live Events Association (2019–2025)
• CATIE Awards Winner — Best Action Station (2024) and Best Catered Event (2025)

But awards are only part of the story. Our real differentiator is our ability to consistently deliver.

As an Event Planner, you will be responsible for driving significant event revenue while owning the client relationship from first conversation through successful execution.
