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

the YTB blog, assembling favors/invitations as needed, folding napkins, basic
flower arranging, assisting in wedding ceremony rehearsal, on-site
coordination, set-up for ceremony and reception, occasional field trips to
wedding showrooms. Most of your assignments would be emailed to you and completed

You are not required to come into an office setting daily but we will have
meetings as needed. Other
projects as needed including planning a “Mock” Wedding that must be presented
for a grade. You will also need to write a final blog post about your
