Kalina Halchak
@kalina
I’m an Event Coordinator and Lead Server, delivering detail-driven experiences for weddings and fine-dining guests.
What I'm looking for
I’m a hardworking, passionate professional who’s highly organized and detail-oriented, focused on executing exceptional events that achieve established goals. I coordinate both small-scale and large-scale events, bringing strong communication and negotiation to every client interaction.
As an Event Coordinator, I schedule tours with clients to discuss what they’re planning to host, answer questions, and stay within their budget. I communicate with clients from first interest through after the event is completed, including meeting with bride and groom to review every final detail prior to the event.
I also handle day-to-day administrative responsibilities such as answering phones, emails, issuing invoices, and taking final payments. I coordinate multiple events each day, arrive early for set up, assist service as needed, and manage concerns or feedback to keep everything on the client’s timeline.
In addition to event coordination, I serve as a Lead Server in busy fine dining environments—taking orders, delivering timely service, and ensuring a positive guest experience. I’ve been recognized for increasing guest check averages through upselling, while also training newly hired staff and supporting service operations with opening/closing and tip out responsibilities.
