About:

We aim to develop an innovative and varied events programme in our venues. We are looking for a dynamic, energetic and determined individual to join the team.

This is a busy role that requires you to be well planned, but with the ability to be entirely reactive when required - which is often! You will work within an established but small team to deliver the existing events but also develop new concepts.

As a Wedding and Events Executive you will be responsible for social and wedding events within OH ME OH MY and One Fine Day, along with a number of corporate events. As a specialist in your area, you will manage all client contact for new enquiries, amendments and final details, and liaise with the operational team to ensure all event details are handed over so that service is delivered to meet and exceed the client expectations. For some events, such as weddings, you will also be present on the day as a continuous point of contact for your clients and couples.

The role will involve conducting show rounds with couples, establishing what their requirements are and selling the correct packages to suit them. You will be the key contact from the point of initial enquiry to seeing the couple through their big day. The role will support the marketing of weddings and special events whilst maintaining relationships with key suppliers.

Aside from weddings you will also be responsible for all social and christmas enquiries responding to special requests and organising and planning events whilst ensuring the operational team are fully informed.

We are looking for someone with a great personality to share their passion for the hospitality industry in delivering service with a smile. You will be working in a busy environment which requires a consistency in customer service, flexibility and being able to work well under pressure.

The ideal candidate will be organised, an excellent communicator, have exceptional attention to detail and have the passion to go the extra mile for our customers. We believe in developing our team and creating a workplace where people feel comfortable and happy doing what they do. We offer many diverse training programmes to aid you in your career development.
