Banquet Director Jobs in Massachusetts

A Banquet Director in the hospitality industry is responsible for overseeing all aspects of a banquet or event, including planning, organizing, and execution. Their duties involve coordinating with various departments like kitchen, housekeeping, and front office to ensure smooth execution of the event.
