We are seeking a sales manager to book events at the Crystal Ballroom at the Rice. This person uses their sparkling personality to sell the brand, source clients, track down leads like no one else, and can close the deal every time.

Energy and motivation to sell
A can-do attitude
A permanent smile, a friendly personality and a positive outlook
A passion for great food and genuine hospitality towards people

Long rectangle tables always make a statement in your reception space!

It’s also a great way to pull multiple different decor/floral pieces together to tell one cohesive story down the table. Do you like long tables for weddings, or are round tables more your style? 😊💐
