Wedding and Event Design Internship


We are excited to be offering this unique opportunity. We are looking for an intern for winter/spring weddings and some one of a kind events. This internship will consist of designing, planning and executing weddings, photo shoots, some events to be revealed later and social media networking. It will consist of both weekdays and weekends and some very long hours.

We are looking for an energetic and  enthusiastic candidate.  Weddings and events are very fast paced and time sensitive so the ability to exhibit a high level of responsibility and work with a sense of urgency is a must.  It is also very important that our intern be a great communicator, work well with a team, anticipate needs of others, and work calm under pressure.

This internship does include a small event pay and some opportunities to receive bonus pay. We will give you hands on experience in every area of the event design industry. You will work with clients, vendors, and an experienced design team. 

Weddings and events are typically on the weekends so a flexible schedule is a must. We also work many hours during the week to prepare for our events. There is also an opportunity to do marketing work from home.

To apply for this position please email a cover letter and resume to funkyshackweddings@gmail.com. We will be accepting applications through January 30, 2013. We are asking that you don't call but don't hesitate to email us with any questions.

We look forward to hearing from you!

The Walking Dead in Haralson at our Studio

(This is a screen shot courtesy of AMC of our studio from this seasons opening sequence)  

This summer when we found the most perfect studio space we had no  idea what was ahead in our future. All we knew was that we found a large space in a perfectly rustic building with lots of storage, a great area to meet with brides and a room just for doing projects. It is on a quiet serene street in Haralson which is only five miles south of Senoia, Georgia. 
Well, that quickly changed as we became a filming location for The Walking Dead. I am a huge fan of the show so you can only imagine how excited I was to have this happening right outside our front door.
Now that the season is in full swing and they have finished filming for season 3, I thought it would be safe to share some of those moments with you. 

The Funky Shack

This was probably one of my favorite moments.

We couldn't believe all the equipment and the amount of work that goes into setting up to film an episode. This is our side parking lot.

My son Noah was home from school "sick" and had to come to work with me.

My husband got to take a few hours off of work to come down and "help" us at work.

 The other kids came after school to hang out while we were working. They were really good at being quiet as soon as they heard "Rolling." If only that worked for us at home!




I wish we had security like this!


You can't even imagine how hard it is to concentrate and work with "Rick Grimes" sitting right outside your window.


 ...Or "Daryl Dixon" walking around in his leather jacket with a knife strapped to his leg. 





Then during one of our biggest weeks of the year with two big weddings fast approaching, we cleaned out our two back rooms to hold and transform forty zombies and some other extras.

  
It was such an exciting and amazing experience. Something we would have never imagined happening at The Funky Shack. Who knows maybe it would be fun to have a zombie wedding right here at a filming location. We would most definately be up for that one!

If you are interested in having an event at The Funky Shack give us a shout.
