Event Captain

Event Captain at Maxwell Social You’re the event captain who runs member-hosted gatherings in a members-only space where people cook for themselves and pour their own drinks. No restaurant kitchen or bartenders. Your job is flow, safety, timing, and guest experience, not cooking or bar service.
