Job Description
This role at Hiring.zycto isn’t just about placing decorations; it’s about crafting immersive atmospheres and bringing event visions to vibrant reality. As an Event Decorator – Venue Setup & Styling, you will be a pivotal player in our creative team, responsible for the meticulous planning, preparation, and execution of stunning decor for a diverse range of events. From intimate weddings and sophisticated corporate galas to large-scale public celebrations and brand activations, each project presents a unique challenge and an exciting opportunity to showcase your artistic flair and technical precision.
You’ll begin by collaborating closely with our design team and clients to understand their aesthetic preferences, themes, and overall objectives. This involves interpreting design briefs, sketching concepts, and helping to select appropriate materials, color schemes, lighting elements, floral arrangements, and furniture pieces that align with the event’s identity and budget. Your keen eye for detail will be crucial in translating abstract ideas into tangible, beautiful setups.
A significant portion of your role will involve hands-on work. You’ll be responsible for the logistical coordination of decor items, ensuring timely delivery, inventory management, and careful handling. On event days, you’ll lead or assist with the physical setup and styling of venues across Redland, Bristol, and surrounding areas. This includes everything from arranging linens and centerpieces to installing backdrops, draping fabrics, setting up lighting fixtures, and ensuring every element is perfectly positioned and presented. You’ll work efficiently under pressure, troubleshoot unforeseen challenges with a calm demeanor, and maintain the highest standards of presentation from start to finish.
Beyond the aesthetic, safety and structural integrity are paramount. You will ensure all decorations are securely installed, compliant with venue regulations, and present no hazards. After events, you’ll also be involved in the careful dismantling, packing, and transportation of decor items, maintaining their condition for future use. This is a fast-paced, rewarding role for someone who thrives on creativity, enjoys dynamic work environments, and possesses a strong work ethic. If you’re ready to transform ordinary spaces into extraordinary experiences, we want to hear from you.
