Banquet Director Jobs in New York

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. They are also responsible for managing budgets, negotiating contracts, hiring and training staff, and maintaining high standards of customer service. Banquet Directors play a significant role in generating revenue for hotels, convention centers, and other venues by attracting and retaining clients.
