After you're accepted, here's what comes next:
We are proud to offer a Junior Coordinator Program - a supportive, hands-on pathway designed for those who are new(er) to the events industry to kickstart a coordination career. It includes:
Junior Coordinators are eased into the industry via:
🏋️♀️ Cheersy Coordinator Training
💬 Support from the Cheersy team
💒 Easy access to assistant gigs within the community so you can learn on the job from seasoned coordinators
The Junior Coordinator program is designed for applicants who have been the lead day-of coordinator (including on-site execution) for 6 or less events. For more details, please review our Day-Of Event Coordinator job description.
“I started the Junior Coordinator program in January with transferable production and hospitality skills but limited experience outside of planning my own wedding. By the time I graduated in June, I'd assisted on 6 events with different lead coordinators/planners and I’d booked 14 weddings as the lead coordinator myself. I learned more about actually running a wedding day-of in those six months than I would have figured out on my own in years — a big part of that due to the community of coordinators who graciously shared resources, advice, and friendship. Can’t recommend Cheersy enough!”
— Julianne C., Cheersy Coordinator
“I joined Cheersy in the fall of 2024 — two years later, I’ve booked 24+ events and gone full-time as a wedding planner. The community has been just as valuable, helping me tour new venues, get paid assistant opportunities, and build real momentum in this industry.”
— Anneliese G., Cheersy Coordinator

Once accepted onto Cheersy (as a standard or junior coordinator) there are two one-time fees: $250 for onboarding and $250 for training, both paid before your listing goes live. Once accepted, each coordinator sets a unique price that feels right based on experience and the market(s) served. You'll be paid out for bookings 48 hours after successful completion of the event day-of, and Cheersy takes 20% per booking. There are no ongoing annual fees to be listed on Cheersy.
Nope! Cheersy provides the booking infrastructure and client agreement, so you don't need to draft your own contract or form an LLC to get started. Coordinators operate as independent professionals on the platform and are responsible for their own insurance.
The Cheersy training program is an amazing resource, whether you're new to the events industry or in need of a refresher — and a required part of our onboarding process. Built on our team's 15+ years in events, it covers every aspect of coordination including:
Typically within 3–4 weeks! Applicants interview with our team and once accepted, onboard onto the platform. You'll then be prompted to create your Cheersy listing and voila — you're ready to start booking clients!
We are excited to launch in new cities across the US and encourage our coordinators to service as many of our locations as desired. You can set a unique flat rate for each location to match the market but we are unable to accommodate travel fees at this time.

In these rare circumstances, we've got you covered! Let us know as soon as possible and we'll find another coordinator to cover the event, under what we call the Cheersy Guarantee.
Our team has 15+ combined years experience coordinating weddings and events, so we know your pain points personally. With Cheersy, you get:
