Overview
Banquet Manager – Chateau Nova Jobs in Yellowknife, Canada at VanWonen
Nova Hotels is a Canadian, family-owned and operated hotel group with 13 full and limited-service hotels across Alberta, Saskatchewan, and the Northwest Territories. At Nova, hospitality starts with people. We care about creating comfortable stays for our guests, memorable events for our clients, and a supportive workplace for our teams.
Whether we are helping a guest settle in, preparing for a special celebration, or solving a last-minute event challenge, our team shows up with care, accountability, and a willingness to find a way.
At Chateau Nova Yellowknife, our banquets and events are more than room set-ups and timelines. They are breakfasts, coffee breaks, luncheons, dinners, cocktail receptions, galas, meetings, celebrations, and moments that matter to our guests and clients.
We are looking for a Banquets Manager to lead our banquet operations from set-up through service, tear-down, and clean-up. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys leading a team, staying calm under pressure, and creating smooth, memorable event experiences.
About the Role
As the Banquets Manager, you will oversee all aspects of banquet and catering service. You will lead the banquet team, coordinate event execution, liaise with hosts, and ensure guests receive warm, professional, and efficient service.
You will be hands-on in the operation, which means you are just as comfortable leading the team as you are jumping in to serve, bartend, troubleshoot, or help reset a room when needed. This role requires strong communication, organization, flexibility, and the ability to keep things moving with a positive attitude, even when the pace is fast and the banquet room has other plans.
The Banquets Manager must be available to work a flexible schedule, including evenings, weekends, holidays, and shift work based on business needs.
What You’ll Do
- Lead the set-up, service, tear-down, and clean-up of banquet and catering functions
- Assist with the planning, organizing, and execution of banquet events, including breakfasts, coffee breaks, luncheons, dinners, cocktail receptions, galas, and other functions
- Follow established Food & Beverage standards, procedures, and service expectations
- Attend Food & Beverage meetings to stay informed about upcoming functions, menus, and event requirements
- Assign duties to banquet team members for each event
- Stay in regular contact with the event host to ensure the function runs smoothly
- Supervise service during events to ensure quality, timing, presentation, and guest satisfaction
- Promote a solutions-focused service environment where the team looks for ways to make things work
- Handle immediate guest or client concerns professionally and effectively
- Check banquet rooms before events to ensure set-up and departmental standards are met
- Report maintenance issues, defects, or repair needs promptly
