Buckinghamshire
We are currently seeking a Wedding & Events Coordinator to join an outstanding 4-star hotel in Buckinghamshire.
This is an exciting opportunity to become part of a busy and successful events team, helping to deliver a wide range of weddings, private functions and corporate events. The role offers plenty of variety, with responsibility for supporting clients throughout the entire event journey, from initial enquiry and venue show rounds through to planning, coordination and on-the-day delivery.
Working closely with clients, suppliers and operational teams, you will play an important role in ensuring every event is delivered to a high standard while providing an exceptional customer experience. This position would also suit somebody who has gained experience delivering weddings and events from an operational or front of house perspective and is looking to move into a more coordination-focused role.
Key Responsibilities
* Managing wedding and event enquiries from initial contact through to confirmation
* Conducting venue show rounds and client meetings
* Building strong relationships with clients and understanding their requirements
* Processing bookings, amendments and event details accurately
* Producing function sheets and communicating event requirements to operational teams
* Coordinating with departments across the hotel to ensure seamless event delivery
* Supporting weddings, conferences and private functions on the day of the event
* Maintaining client records and encouraging repeat business
* Assisting with sales activity and maximising event revenue opportunities
What We're Looking For
* Previous experience within weddings, events, hospitality or conference and banqueting
* Strong organisational and administration skills
* Excellent communication and customer service abilities
* Comfortable building relationships with clients and suppliers
* Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
* A positive and proactive approach to problem solving
* Flexibility to support occasional weekend and evening events
This opportunity would suit candidates currently working as a Wedding Coordinator, Events Coordinator, Events Executive, Conference & Banqueting Coordinator, Functions Coordinator or Reservations Coordinator. It would also be a fantastic opportunity for somebody currently involved in the operational delivery of weddings and events who is looking to step away from front of house operations and move into a more client-facing planning and coordination role. The hotel has an excellent training and development programme in place, making it an ideal environment for someone looking to build on their existing events experience and develop their career further
