Fair Hills hosts over 50 events each season—including weddings, reunions, meetings, parties, retreats, and more. As a full-service event venue, we provide space, set-up, audio/visual equipment, food & beverage, lodging, and planning services.
As an Event Coordinator Intern, you’ll work directly with our Event Director to plan and execute events at Fair Hills Resort, Wildflower Golf Course, and Five Lakes Resort. This internship combines office work and on-site event execution, giving you the skills to run an event from start to finish, including booking, planning, execution, billing, and follow-up.

- Front Desk shifts and tasks
- Assisting in the dining room and kitchen
- Giving tours to prospective guests
- Coordinating with group contacts to plan events

- Day-of event execution and on-site coordination
- Creating event cheat sheets
- After-event follow-up and billing using RDP

- Bartending and food management during events
- Occasional service on the Big Pelican Pontoon
What You’ll Gain
You’ll gain hands-on experience using our Property Management System (RDP) and Point-of-Sale System (Lightspeed). This internship focuses on group events and weddings, typically managing 14–16 weddings and ~40 group events from May–September, with additional front desk and dining room shifts to expand your understanding of resort operations.
You’ll develop skills in:
- Guest service and relations
- Event organization and multi-departmental coordination
- Problem-solving and professional communication

- Executing complex events from start to finish
This internship is ideal for college students pursuing Hospitality & Tourism Management, Communications, or Public Relations. It’s an operational internship—interns actively perform departmental duties while also taking on management responsibilities. At Fair Hills, interns work, not just delegate.
