The Event Executive supports the planning, coordination and delivery of meetings, weddings, conferences and other resort events. Responsibilities may include responding to enquiries, preparing proposals and contracts, coordinating with food and beverage, operations and vendors, managing event details, conducting site inspections and ensuring guest satisfaction. Candidates should typically have experience in hotel events, banquets, catering or sales, strong communication and organisational skills, attention to detail, and confidence dealing with guests and corporate clients. A hospitality or business qualification is helpful, while proficiency in English and relevant computer systems is expected. The role requires flexibility to work weekends, public holidays and varying shifts, along with the ability to manage several events and deadlines professionally.
Marriott International is a global hospitality company operating a large portfolio of hotels and resorts across luxury, premium and select-service brands. Its properties focus on guest service, accommodation, dining, events and leisure experiences, supported by established training, operational and career-development systems. Perhentian Marriott Resort & Spa is associated with Marriott’s planned resort presence in Malaysia’s Perhentian Islands, a destination known for clear waters, beaches and marine life. An Event Executive at the resort would likely work closely with resort operations, banquets, culinary teams, sales colleagues and external partners to deliver weddings, celebrations, meetings and special occasions. As with any new or developing resort, duties, opening timelines and benefits should be confirmed directly with the recruitment team.
Malaysia’s islands offer opportunities in resorts, restaurants, diving, watersports, guest services, housekeeping, events and hotel management. The Perhentian Islands have a relaxed, nature-focused lifestyle, with beach activities, snorkeling, diving, small local communities and limited urban conveniences. Malay culture is prominent, alongside Chinese, Indian and international influences; modest dress and respect for local customs are appreciated. The islands are generally busiest during the dry season, while monsoon conditions can reduce services and transport from roughly November to February. International employees normally need an employer-sponsored employment pass or work permit before starting work; working on a tourist entry is not permitted. Employers usually advise on immigration, accommodation, medical checks and travel from Kuala Lumpur or mainland Terengganu. Candidates should confirm housing, meals, transport, internet access, insurance, contract terms and the resort’s operating season before relocating.
