Banquet Manager Jobs in District of Columbia

A Banquet Manager in the hospitality industry is responsible for overseeing all aspects of a banquet or event, including planning, organizing, staffing, and controlling events. Their primary tasks include liaising with clients to understand their requirements, coordinating with the kitchen staff, managing event logistics, and ensuring that the event runs smoothly and meets the client's expectations. They also handle administrative responsibilities such as event budgeting, payment processing, and record-keeping.
